Accessorize This: Noemiah

Noémiah
by Denise Grayson

It all begins with a single feather. Noémie Vaillancourt takes a plume – they can be small and delicate or large and lush, natural or dyed – and builds beautiful accessories around her main inspiration for her handmade Noémiah label. The Montreal-based designer uses textures, colours and varying lengths to explore asymmetry and ultimately create a modern and stylish piece.

Her latest collection takes the feather into the larger-than-life category, a departure from her usually quiet pieces. Those who appreciate the tactile nature of Noémiah’s work will have a heyday with the playful, oversize versions of the long chain earrings and necklaces, they tempt you to give them a little fluff!

Earlier this year Noémiah partnered with illustrator Paule T.B. to bring some gestural flair to her fluid designs.

You can view Noémiah’s current collection at her Etsy shop, and be sure to check back often as new designs are being added daily.
