SSKEIN x ruari studio
Inspired by the world-famous song La Vie En Rose by Édith Piaf, which means "seeing life through rose-colored glasses", our Autumn/Winter 2024 collection emphasizes the beauty and positivity we desire in everyday life; like when we first fall in love.
Our first collaboration with multidisciplinary artist Rory Flanigan from Ruari Studio, who focuses her work on botanicals, is the perfect blend between both of our design aesthetics. Together we've created La Vie En Rosettes, hand-sculpted rosettes enveloping the petals of botanical beauty representing hope, passion, rebirth, and compassion.
These labor-intensive rosettes were made with an average of 4 hours each. A limited edition one-of-a-kind wearable art that is swoon-worthy.
Each rose color has a different representation. With Black meaning new beginnings and Ivory meaning elegance. In total there are seven colors in the collection with monthly drops starting in August.
As a brand led by our sustainable efforts, we are continuously reinventing our products to help reduce waste and give our natural materials (which could end up in landfill) a second life.
For a limited time only, shop our most coveted accessory of the season.

Rory Flanigan is a multidisciplinary designer and artist working at the intersection of sculpture, visual art, and fashion. Her work is inspired by the shapes, textures, and movement found in the rich botanical world—particularly flowers of all kinds. She is focused on relief, texture, and repetition and exploring themes of impermanence and regeneration. Rory is committed to waste-reduction, upcycling, and reuse in the art and fashion spaces. Her chosen materials are vegetable-tanned leather and upcycled textile waste.
She holds a BA in Visual Art from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and is a graduate of the Fashion Design program at Parsons School of Design in New York City.
She currently lives and works in the Pacific Northwest.
