Dubai, UAE: Once upon a time, while visiting Canada, a young lady saw a small accessories shop and fell with love with the idea of making her own accessories. She thought to herself, “This looks so interesting. Maybe I can handcraft my own jewelry.” Soon, she started making bracelets, necklaces and earrings. That’s when customers in the form of friends and family appeared on the scene. When she realized this was something she really enjoyed making, she decided to showcase her work at the Artisans of the Emirates (ARTE) first.  This soon led to her opening her own Wildflower Collection business in Dubai.

The lady is Lorraine Conway.

Wildflower Collection has a kiosk at the Ibn Battuta Mall in China Court. Lorraine herself is a sweet lady who is always smiling and quite pleasant to talk to.

Like me, Lorraine has a firm belief that fashion can be affordable. The beauty of WildFlower Collection lies in the fact that Lorraine does custom work.

If you like her style of work, have a look at Lorraine’s work through the photos I took and the video.  All you need to do is consult with her as to the type of necklace, earring or bracelet you want and she will make it.
