Today, at the midpoint of the fall, we are pleased to show you our next collection. For the first time in the history of Leta, it is made of gold. Una is the contemporary heritage of Malevich. The items of the collection recreate Malevich’s recognizable suprematist compositions.
There is no storyline or imagery in them since within the philosophy of suprematism color is purely a medium of emotions and concepts, free from any other role. This idea became the founding principle for an avant-garde artistic group UNOVIS. Artist’s daughter, Una Malevich, was called after it, and 80 years later we named our collection the same.
As always, we do all we can to preserve the natural world. All of the materials for Una collection were mined and processed in a responsible way so the damage to ecosystem is minimised.
A word from Katya Alagich, designer and co-founder of Leta
“I have always loved colors and their multiple shades. Being an architect, I also appreciate simple shapes that a future piece of jewelry can be composed of.
The Una collection began with sketching out color spots on paper, and as it often happens with a new collection on the way, the process was completely unconscious. My goal was to have bright colored stones in focus, noticeable and self-contained. There was also this wish to use some shapes that are new to us — elongated cylinders and round thin blades. We were going through dozens of stones every day and finally settled on the red onyx, deep blue sodalite with thin white inclusions and sky-blue quartz. We decided to have this collection in yellow gold — weightless chains and thin line details subtly highlighted the beauty of the stones.
This is how Una was created — brave, driven by the impulse of love for color and energy it brings.”
Today we launch our new collection – ROMA. This one became a modern interpretation of ancient Roman architecture. Its principal motives – narrow windows, semi-circular arches, clear symmetry of columns and oculi in the domes of cathedrals – are expressed in the pieces of this collection.
We have been planning to present our items in Saint-Petersburg for a long time. Despite the delivery service with a free trying-on option, the important advantage of a jewelry brand is to provide the customer the opportunity for an authentic shopping experience with the ability to receive professional advice from a specialist. Fabergé Museum Store is now the place where you can do it all.
Since the beginning of our story, we have been thinking about the necessity of having an ajustable chain lock on our necklaces and pendants. In the case of a pendant on a chain, it is a matter of aesthetics as to how you want to wear your favourite piece – tighter to your neck or closer to the decolatte. It is different and more critical in the case of a necklace as it could turn out to be too big or, the opposite, be so small that you couldn`t easily fasten it.
China’s progress toward online shopping is more important than ever for us in the wake of our mission to bring modern design to amber jewelry industry and expand Russian retail export and also our focus to give people in every country better shopping experience on our site.
