SHOP ARCHIVE - by collection

Shop from the ROSITA BONITA back catalogue of printed Leather Jewellery (and mixed materials)

AMULET

The Amulet Collection is a re-interpretation of universal tokens of good fortune, protection & strength. The Sacred Heart, Lucky Horseshoe, & mystical All-seeing eye are all reassuringly familiar symbols of love, good will, good fortune & optimism and have traditionally been given & worn throughout humanity. 

TOLEDO

.TOLEDO is an elegant, yet playful take on the traditional metal inlay damascene jewellery of Spain & Japan. Delicate illustrations take influence from both styles, but land somewhere in the world of Bonita. These details are embossed in shining gold foil onto smooth, lightweight leather, & dressed with golden chains & swinging tassels. 

EXOTICA

Let our Exotica collection transport you to a mythical Shangri-La, a glamorous natural paradise where your wildest dreams come true…Let us indulge our age-old desire for escapism with a heady cocktail from the tropics. Forms are inspired by ancient architectural relics, majestic jungle cats, and lush jungle foliage.

SHE'S MY WITCH

A thematic continuation of the Amulet collection - a contemporary exploration into ancient symbols of protection, good fortune and devotion - She's My Witch draws on familiar symbolic motifs and reworks them into iconic modern, wearable pieces. 
From the iconic treasures of ancient Egypt to sentimental Victorian love tokens, gypsy charms & tribal talismans,  classic treasures are interpreted in luxurious lightweight leathers to make statement pieces which strike a balance of bold graphic shapes and delicate detailing, with a playful flavour of superstition, black magic and mysticism.

SIREN

The Siren collection; inspired by ancient obsessions with mythological fish-tailed beasts.

Seashells & seahorses are cut from smooth leather & printed with gold to become a range of earrings & necklaces fit for a mermaid.

LANTERNS

Inspired by the enduringly glamorous and romantic image of the 'Paris of the Orient' - 30's Shanghai Grand.

These elegant Chinese style lanterns are perfect for celebrations, or just to make you feel glowingly glamorous.

DAMN FINE

A collection inspired by my love of Twin Peaks; where the birds sing a pretty song and there's always music in the air.

Weaving together a handful of favourite elements from that dreamy world-between-worlds, I’ve created a collection of artefacts to wear & treasure.

"I'm gonna let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen"

WILD PALMS

Wild Palms is an homage to the luxurious leaves of palm trees, and their innate and enduring allure. Glamorous 1930s resorts, with their Tropical Deco architecture, & the beautifully hewn travel posters that drew joyful crowds to them, inspire forms & lend their names.‘30s & ‘40s beach fashion, Hollywood regency siren style, mid-century print ads for cruise & cocktail jewels, and late 80s /early 90s retro razzle-dazzle all set the mood.

ORCHARD

Taking inspiration from vintage fruit crates, 50’s textile designs and the tropical carnival & cabaret costumes of Carmen Miranda & Josephine Baker, the Orchard collection features hummingbirds, orchard fruit & flowers in an exotic, opulent & colourful celebration of sunshine.


These collectable pieces begin as original illustrations which are individually screen printed onto fine coloured leathers, carefully hand cut & assembled into collaged pieces of wearable art, backed with firm black saddlery leather and hung from gold plated brass belcher chain.
