One World, One Love

Here at culture, we fancy ourselves as connoisseurs of all things chic, always on the lookout for something, well, great. There’s nothing we love more than discovering new ways to style up an outfit with some carefully thought-out accessorising. That being said, jewellery is never too far from our thoughts.

Sydney-born trinkets maven Dina Ochwada is the answer to our (and your) prayers. The designer founded One Luv in 2004, instilling in our sartorial landscape an Australian jewellery label that is both unique and charismatic.

The story goes that a young Ochwada, armed with a commerce degree, could no longer stand the confines of corporate monotony and jumped into transforming her discarded necklaces into stunning pieces with nothin’ but a pair of pliers. Nowadays, she takes her cues from personal experiences and provides us lucky devotees with collections that are fresh, fun and funky. We love her inimitable and original designs that we know aren’t going to be seen copied at every chain store from here to Peru.

Though, if you wanted to buy One Luv in Peru, we doubt you’d have trouble finding it. So coveted it is by you fashionistas, One Luv is now stocked in boutiques across Australia as well as being available in Asia, Europe and the U.S. To make matters simple and eliminating that annoying middle man, One Luv launched it’s global online store (oneluv.com.au) in 2008, thus opening the floodgates for fans worldwide to get their fix.

This month, One Luv has paired with culture to provide three lucky subscribers with a chance to win a hand plucked and ever-so-quirky necklace. Simply head to our subscribe page, answer the question “What’s your one love?”, and wait with bated breath! If luck is just not your thing, we’d recommend that you secure yourself a piece of One Luv armour anyway! Go on, treat yo’self!
