BEHIND THE BRAND

Apparition was founded in October 2018. We started off as Apparition Jewellery, but as we grew and our product ranges expanded to include apparel, we relaunched as Apparition Atelier in 2023. 

The brand was born from a love of art, crafting, designing and creating. It all started with trying to learn how to create wire jewellery, which led to learning to create chainmaille, and we only kept growing from there.

We first launched our website in 2019, however we have also had our products on platforms such as Hello Pretty, Voetsy, Takealot and Zando.

In 2021 we released our first apparel range - a small ready-to-wear collection of clothing and swimwear. ​

MEET THE TEAM

​My name is Kristin. I am the founder and owner of Apparition Atelier. I am the artist and creator behind the brand, and each item has been lovingly designed and crafted by my own hands.

My creative journey began as a child and being creative has always been a part of my life. I enjoy making things and I work with many different mediums

Everything I know about chainmaille and making jewellery is self taught. While I have studied fashion, I taught myself all of the skills I have in design, photography, content, editing, and all the aspects of running a business.

I started designing and making clothing in 2006, and started making jewellery in 2008. These were just my hobbies, and I didn't start my business until 2018. 

Being able to create chainmaille pieces and bring the past to life in a new way excites me and is something I am very passionate about. I also love that I can incorporate different ideas and mediums into my pieces to give it a unique twist - from beads and resin, to clay - to produce our one-of-a-kind designs and creations.
