Meet a Kitten: Jeanette




I could be biased, but I believe that of all the things that make our line unique, the ultimate factor is that it is made right here in our Brooklyn studio by an awesome set of local New York women. Did you ever wonder what went into making the elegant heart ring in your ring stack? New York City born and raised musician Jeanette knows because she just so happens to be one of the eighteen jewelers working out of our Williamsburg studio.


Jeanette and I spent Wednesday afternoon on a sunny bench outside of our favorite taco joint, La Superior. She brought along one of her most treasured items, an acoustic Takamine with photos of her mother pasted on the back, where they're close to her heart as she plays.

Meet a Kitten: Anna



Have you ever called Catbird and heard a cheerful voice greet you on the other end? Or perhaps you had a question about a rad ring, so you shot an email over to us and received a friendly reply. Well, chances are you spoke with our E-Commerce Manager, Anna. 

In the first edition of Meet a Kitten, we take a stroll around the neighborhood with Anna (and her ever-rambunctious chocolate lab Willy) to learn a bit more about her. Ya know, aside from her being a walking encyclopedia of all things Catbird, and all.

Behind the scenes!








A teensy sneak peek at our photo shoot last Friday at the dreamy Loft Lounge Studios with the talented Mike Spears. Loft Lounge Studios makes you want to, just as the name suggests, lounge in each of the cozy corners or bask in the sun and or moonlight in the overgrown windows!

Mike quickly made each of the birds comfortable in front of the lens and we instantly began frolicking around in jeweled paws, wrists, ears and necks, burned loads of Catbird candles, played a quick game of backgammon and then raided Mike's amazing record collection,  all squealing upon finding a Fleetwood Mac vinyl! 

Make sure to stay tuned to get a peek of Mike's gorgeous images but until then, follow Mike's Tumblr and keep up with the happenings at Loft Lounge Studios on Facebook! xx coco
