Spanking New - Artful Trinkets

There is no purer tool of personal expression than a limited-edition or - better still - one-off, handmade trinket or frock. In this era of mass production, global branding and the pervasive ``sameness" of fashion from one year and continent to the next, an original brooch, or dress, or tiara, for that matter, made with passion especially for you (or, at the very worst, replicated for a like-minded few) is suddenly, immeasurably, rare and precious. (And so terribly fashionable.)
