Hello and Welcome! We are here in Roeser Luxembourg for
the international jumping, you know it has started this Thursday,
we will be with you
to cover this event during four days
As an exception, I will manage "Bienvenue
Chez Vous". Jean-Luc Bertrand gave me the keys
and with me are our guests.
Ladies first. On my left, Laurence
Kalinowski the owner of the brand CARACOLE, we will talk about jewellery
good afternoon, good afternoon,
Some special jewellery here right ? - Yes, we are talking atout unique piece of jewellery
made out of horse hair
woven by hand in France in a traditional way,
We intend
to propose jewels made of various metals
precious ones, sterling silver
yellow gold, white gold,
or pink gold. So the idea is to send
if you owe your own horse
a lock of horse tail hair
that we then weave entirely by hand in France and that we include in jewels to
propose rings, pendants
bracelets
We offer here a very personal and sentimental piece of jewellery
that Caracole proposes to its customers throughout the world
We hear a lot about 'sur mesure'
regarding that sport
for example with skirts and jackets
And not only...spot on ! We are going to see now
jewellery 'sur mesure'. Tell us Laurence about
the brand Caracole that is
specially
dedicated to customization in general
Actually
we create jewels on demand
the main material is horse hair
We offer a service to
the customer, owner of one or several horses
This customer needs to send us
some hair from his horse, a small but long lock is enough, no need to thin it out
a lock thick like one finger of a hand and long as the tail
is needed
to weave
a fine ribbon or a rope
This ribbon becomes a
bracelet
ring
You can see here some pieces, necklace, bracelet
ring which makes the jewel unique
and very sentimental. Earlier on, we were talking about the link
people have with their horse, here we make something that we can wear on
ourselves
from
our own horse. Yes it is true this
sport is special in the way that as said before
the relation between the horse rider and his horse is important
and then I can imagine
that your are successfull
People want to wear it ?
Yes this is something that please really customers. We are
a young company
so
we are still on a starting mode, having famous customers
I am talking about famous horses here
we have woven horses hair from Hickstead
from Sophie du Château
from Kraque Boom
Mylord Carthago
Silvana HDC
and of course we are happy to serve less famous but equally important customers and that
are really happy to be able to wear jewellery made out of
their own horses. So you export I guess ?
Yes, we have a web site Caracole.fr
where you can order from, your
jewel
Of course, you will always need to send us the lock of hair by post.
-Well and how did you get there ? I mean you told us previously
that you are a rider ? Did you start like this ?
then
Yes, but to be precise Passion has started with our youngest daughter
who is now 15 and who rides for 10 years.
She attracted us in this world of horse riding. Now we are
passionate and especially with this new concept
of horse hair jewellery.
