How effing fantastic is it that we can tap and swipe and glance thousands of miles away from our physical selves. Travel grammers are ten a penny, but those that have the talent and the eye to actually pick your backside up out of your seat and take you on their journey are not. Alexis Pifou, self proclaimed Explo-Trotter has it nailed.
Read MoreOur sense of perspective is unique to us, and the power it has to influence our perception should never be underestimated. It’s a theme photographer John S Dykstra experiments with particularly well. He creates imagery that dabbles between abstract truths and concrete reality, playing between the lines of perspective for work that lingers between daylight and daydream.
Read MoreOur collection of jewellery has been a journey, a timeline as our lives of CarterGore. For that first spark of inspiration, it wasn’t about us at all. If anything, our range today stands as a lovingly curated collection of other people’s stories. That a whole sense of self can be crafted in silver or gold, that an image could stand for something, could depict a part of who we are. It’s magic, really … the true magic, of what we do.

Her latest collection, Pitbull Flower Power, turns her lens to one of the most abused and and neglected dog breed and it’s giving us all the feels.
Read MoreOh, hey there sunshine. Yep, summer has finally waltzed in the joint, drink in hand, slurring her words a bit but she’s here and we couldn’t be more excited. Why? Well, it formally opens the gate for some of our most hotly anticipated sartorial desires - namely, Western.
Read MoreHindsight can be a smug old bitch, but she has her moments too. While we’re still rocking that ‘The Future Is Female’ tee (all day long), this week we’re feeling all reflective. So here’s a letter, five pieces of advice we’d give to our sixteen-year-old self as they start to scrap with what it means to be female. We feel a series coming on …
Read MoreIf you make a pit stop here on the regular, you’ll remember the precise moment we got engulfed by the history and symbolism of Sailor Jerry. It inspired a brand new collection of CarterGore pendants … wanna see?

Read MoreWell, we’re gearing up for the big shoot tomorrow. Jewellery is prepped, props are procured, the styling wrack is looking LIT. Looks as though we’ve just got enough time left for a last little hit of inspiration before it all kicks off bright and early in the morning ... shall we talk STUPID?
Read MoreThe first shoot we ever did was kinda momentous. But more than a year on, we’ve learnt a trick or two, CarterGore’s image has evolved, then settled, establishing itself amongst its myriad of influences and inspirations. Now, we don’t need a photoshoot to define the brand, but we do want the brand to define a photoshoot. Oh yeah, it’s high time we do this thing again.
Read MoreYou know how we had that New Years list of stuff we were absolutely gonna do? And how ‘Retail’ fell pretty much slap bang at the top of that list? Well … we’re hitting it hard.

Read MoreAh, Valentines. Not only does it give us all the warm fuzzies, but plotting and planning for the Day Of Love is getting us through the cold bitch that is January.
