BIO
An import! A bit of a nomad, actually: I was born in Denmark, moved to Sweden as a teenager, ran off to work in Africa (where I met my future husband), studied business and medicine in London, England and was lured to Canada by my now husband, a native Montrealer.

Curiously, a lot of our clients tell us they were never into jewellery before MICALLA. I think they are attracted to our collection because it is visually interesting and different, yet totally wearable.

Do You Remember the Day You Decided to Design?
I think a love of design is genetically built into every Dane so I can't remember a time when I wasn't creating something. However, I started designing jewellery while accompanying a friend to her oncology treatments as a way for us to pass the time together. At my first sale, when weeks of work sold out in less than two hours, I thought I might be on to something.

The Breakthrough - Has it Happened?
Yes, although we feel like we're achieving new things everyday.

You Might Not Know This
While I normally love all growing things, I have never seen an olive that didn't make me gag.

What's Your Fashion Advice?
Great design endures. Buy only what you adore and you will never stare down your closet, wondering what to wear.

The Current Collection
The past and the future inspire our vision. The MICALLA in the RAW collection originates from our Scandinavian roots and our keen sensibility of design: clean lines, multi-functionality, with an unexpected hit of raw edges and natural beauty.

Our Scandinavian roots are showing, but as always, with a twist of originality and individuality.
