Our Working Processes
Story Behind the Project
Sometimes, the smallest pieces carry the biggest stories 🎁 While continuing our annual upcycling mission, we wanted to create something not only giftable, but also meaningful. With that in mind, we created these cheerful, lightweight charms! Handcrafted from upcycled materials, each charm is made to brighten your day.
Why NewYearMarket? After finalizing our idea, we were thrilled to collaborate with NewYearMarket, a community-driven brand! They create safe jobs for seniors by empowering them as designers and makers. Together, we knotted, braided, and assembled each charm by hand — sharing laughter and cherishing the joyful moments along the way.
This project feels especially full-circle for us: iRi began with our founder Janet’s grandmother, whose care and values continue to inspire the brand. Through this collaboration, we found a way to slow down and create something truly meaningful, together 😉
Styling Sugestions
Pppoint Small Charms
Lightweight and versatile, our charms can be clipped onto shoes, bags, keys, or jeans. Our two small charms were tested on the ERB and RAI shoes, so their extra pop of color won’t get in the way of your adventures.
Apricot Flower Long Charms
Our medium and long charms were designed with our AROM boots in mind, so we recommend checking the length of the shoes you want to attach them to before purchasing.
Have Fun Styling!
Our charms don't always have to be clipped to our shoes. Want to style our charms on your pants or bags (or anywhere else)? They will definitely add the perfect extra spark to your outfit!
Care Guide
- Simply wipe the charm with wet wipes or damp cloth.
- We recommend NOT putting the charms in washing machine.
