If You’re Looking For The Perfect Gift This Christmas, Look No Further Than Moushe

by Molly Gymer

It’s no surprise that jewellery is one of the most desired Christmas gifts but, with so many options available, it can be a difficult task to pick out the right option.

This year, rather than investing in the typical jewellery brands owned by so many, why not immerse your loved one in a world of innovative glamour.

The female owned, sustainable brand, Moushe Designs was created with meaning. Founded upon a commitment to sustainability, from design to production and packaging, the brand puts its people and planet first.

Partnering with skilled jewellers and family owned company, PAPERWORKS, to create up-cycled packaging, the label not only creates joy for those who wear it but a community of appreciated artisans across the globe.

Nabiha Yousuf created Moushe after struggling to find sustainable jewellery that excited her. She saw a gap in the market and began designing her collection taking inspiration from nature, art and culture. Her pieces allow for timeless style and multiple ways to wear meaning the jewellery brand can be worn by everyone no matter their style or desire.

The ‘Wheel Of Fortune set’ includes three of Moushe’s most iconic ring charms with an interchangeable feature allowing customers to pick their vibe for the day.

Moushe produce small quantities to create minimal wasted stock. The company’s manufacturing process starts with expert wax workers and journeys to a century-old gold market in Pakistan, where Nabiha Yousuf has deep cultural roots.

The gold market dates back to the 19th century with generations of experts passing down their secrets. These skilled workers are crucial for bringing the wonderful silhouettes of Moushe to life. And the personal approach doesn’t stop there; customers can opt in to an inclusive shopping experience with the option of receiving live updates at each stage of production.

The sculptural designs are made with durability and wearability at heart. Their signature collection, “The Wheel of Fortune”, is dedicated solely to sustainable design and features beautiful pendants, bracelets and rings.

The collections are stocked on Cult Mia and are creating waves in the jewellery market. Find out more here:

Fashion For a Cause: Brands That Stand with Palestine and the history of fashion as a form of Activism

by Oana-Maria Moldovan For over two months, there has been an ongoing genocide war in Gaza. To simplify a long and horrific issue, the situation that started, on a larger scale, around one hundred years ago, and has only become amplified since October 7th 2023. Taking place around the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Israel–Lebanon border, the armed conflict is between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups. The problem is about “stolen” land. Said land is seen as an important holy part of both religions involved. But really, how holy can we consider a land to be, if people kill other people for it? It’s important to remember that this genocide is about three things: forced occupation, zionism, and religion. It’s also important to remember what ethnic erasure is. This terrible expresion, also known as cultural or ethnic assimilation, refers to the process by which the distinct cultural or ethnic identity of a particular group is gradually diminished or erased, often due to...

Now What? The Aftermath of the 'Manic Pixie Dream Girl'

by Susan Moore Here is a bit about me: I am an open, excitable, creative AFAB who is also moderately attractive. I have a unique sense of personal style and a personality that on the surface can only be described as “bubbly” and “quirky”. For this reason, dating is a nightmare. To be sure, I do not have a hard time finding dates or potential suitors. The problems arise when said dates spend some time with me and decide that I am a rare specimen, and the connection they feel with me is “unlike anything they have felt before”. Then, things go one of two ways. Either a) they decide I am too high maintenance and no longer palatable, or b) they choose to never look further than the surface and are content to date the idea of me rather than the real me. There is something rather interesting, perhaps funny, about my situation. It is in no way unique. I have met so many people who constantly dealt with the same problem. Even funnier still, is the fact that there is a trope that simu...
