Artisans go upscale
 |
Nu'uanu jewelry designer Karran Uhr has taken her talents in a new direction: evening bags. Uhr crafts her bags from silk brocade, attaching handles of sterling silver or 14-karat-gold-fill chain. Beads also play a part in the designs. "Bags are more creative and artistic now," Uhr said. "I think I can fit into that niche."
Wood-turner Ron Kent of Kailua creates Norfolk pine vessels in a minimalist, classic form, available exclusively at Neiman Marcus Ala Moana.
Twins John and Jerry Polyascko will introduce their resort collection, Polyascko2 Urban Menswear, in an informal fashion show 1 to 4 p.m. tomorrow at the Ala Moana Center store.
Like Uhr, the 24-year-old Polyasckos hope their line will expand to other Neiman Marcus stores.
A few months ago, the store began to work with King & Zelco, a furniture manufacturing company operating in the Kapa'a Quarry area.
Anna Grune, King & Zelco designer/architect, said the company hopes to create a full line of furniture and home accessories for Neiman Marcus.
Meet the local designers 1-4 p.m.
Tomorrow: Karran Uhr in designer handbags; Ron Kent and King & Zelco in home decor; Polyascko2 in men's sportswear.
