OUR STORY ☾

Hello, My name Is Molly and I am the founder of Libelinha. We are based in South West London, UK and established in March 2020.

Libelinha is the Portuguese word for dragonfly. Dragonfly’s are free and beautiful, exciting when you spot them gently hovering about, their striking and electric colours so mesmerising. Libelinha was a calling to flutter our wings!

I had a desire to embark on an independent venture for a long time coming, to delve into what I love doing and have more freedom. Whilst travelling, these ideas started to flow and flourish at long last, I made some connections with some wonderful handicrafts while in India, picked up some jewellery on my travels to be able to share back home. Arriving back just before the pandemic, with ample time on my hands.. Libelinha was born! Fast forward a few months, the website was up and I started trading at markets around South West London and Surrey. I haven’t looked back ever since! 

Libelinha source a collection of unique and bold adornments for the free spirited. Created to a high standard and hand picked by myself. We work artisans in India, Thailand and Indonesia who's work practices align with our high ethical standards. Our Brass jewellery and a selection of sterling silver jewellery is sourced from Rajasthan, India. We work with a team of talented wood carvers and metalsmiths in Bangkok, Thailand. A small team of exquisite family silversmiths in Indonesia. All incredibly talented crafters of intricate, high quality jewellery, who I feel so lucky to be able to support and supply over in my corner of the world. Our small clothing range is hand produced using traditional techniques, hand dyed with natural dye and block printed by two tailors in Rajasthan, India.
All polymer clay jewellery is hand crafted by myself, made with only love and care - I source my crystals from a local crystal store a few miles from my home, and upcycle all copper used. Slow paced jewellery to be loved for years to come.

Thank you for reading this far and for spending the time navigating my shop - deepest gratitude

Molly
