Desperate Artists
Always desperately wanting every single piece of jewellery that Zefi designs. You can find simple everyday jewellery but also this is where you go when you want a good statement piece. The other half of desperate design is Eirini and she is responsible for some amazing bags that we have in our collection. The workshop is at Syros island, but you can find everything on their e-shop desperate-design.com
