Accessories brand Olivia Burton unveils whimsical Tea Party collection featuring new watch and jewellery designs
Accessories brand Olivia Burton has unveiled a new collection inspired by the traditional afternoon tea, with three new watch designs and accompanying jewellery styles.
The Tea Party collection draws inspiration from traditional tea set prints and dainty sweet delights, as well as a Wonderland-esque tea party.
Available in three soft colourways, the new watch designs feature pastel and ornate florals and dreamy pops of blue on the dials, with complementing strap styles.
The whimsical collection’s biscuit-inspired jewellery pieces are finished with a sweet, heart-centred motif and delicate detailing.
Jane Hebden, Head of Creative at Olivia Burton, said: “Tea Party feels quintessentially ‘Olivia Burton’ with the floral details, pastel palettes and vintage styles.
“But beyond this, the thought behind this collection was one of comfort and well-being.
“Tea is calming, it’s something we have turned to throughout the years when life gets overwhelming and building a collection around this concept feels very relevant right now.”
East London-based Olivia Burton, which was established in 2012 by best friends Jemma Fennings and Lesa Bennett, has marked the launch of the new collection by teaming up with cake aficionados Peggy Porschen.
The Peggy Porschen x Olivia Burton Tea Party Afternoon Tea set brings the entire collection to life and will be available to buy all summer.
Set within the fairy-tale pink interior of the Peggy Porschen Parlours in London, the afternoon tea features pastel palettes, delicate floral features and sweet details all inspired by the Tea Party collection.
Peggy Porschen, Founder and Creative Director of Peggy Porschen Cakes, said: “The whimsical personality of our fairy-tale Parlours provides a picture-perfect canvas to bring to life Olivia Burton’s playful Tea Party collection.
“As so many of us seek to devote lost time to long overdue catch-ups this summer, our Peggy Porschen x Olivia Burton Afternoon Tea gives a much-needed dose of escapism. Our special-edition offering is a sweet treat tour de force, based on an enchanting procession of exquisite cakes, pots of tea and fabulous florals.”
