August Sandgren X Kelly Rutherford
This autumn, we are proud to launch an exclusive collection in collaboration with actress and fashion icon, Kelly Rutherford, best known for her iconic role as Lily van der Woodsen in the television series Gossip Girl. Rutherford, who shares one particular interest with her character from the cult series, namely a passion for aesthetics and interiors, is stepping into the world of interior design for the first time in her partnership with August Sandgren. Given her strong affection for and connection to Denmark, stemming from Danish roots in Rutherford's family tree, the choice of collaboration partner was a natural one. August Sandgren, known for its luxurious objects and rich Danish design history, was the perfect match.
The collection consists of a range of August Sandgren's signature pieces, reinterpreted in new textiles and leather colours, carefully selected by Rutherford. Among the highlights of the collection is the new Travel Jewelbox, an elegant and practical jewellery box designed to meet the needs of travellers like Rutherford herself, who sought a beautiful solution for storing her jewellery on the go.
In her quest for the perfect textile, Rutherford chose one from the esteemed Danish weaver Kjellerup Væveri. The weaver's Scandinavian luxury textiles, which combine quality, aesthetics, and durability, align with August Sandgren's focus on functional aesthetics—a value that is not only prevalent throughout the collection but is also essential to the brand’s approach to both design and production.
Travel Jewelbox is inspired by one of August Sandgren's most popular products, Jewelbox, which has now been reinterpreted for those who appreciate both elegance and functionality in their travel accessories. This versatile box is ideal for long journeys, weekend getaways, or as temporary storage in a sports bag. Jewelbox Travel is, of course, also available in the exquisite textile from Kjellerup Væveri, bringing a touch of Danish craftsmanship along on the journey.
The full collection, which consists of six pieces in four textile colours—Box (medium & fusion), Jewelbox, Travel Jewelbox, Notebook, and Keyhanger (light blue, dark blue, olive, dark brown) has now launched and pre-sales is open.
