StickyBackBailey by Caroline Wilkins

Accessories – New York - NYC

I was born and raised in Ireland, living in NYC for a couple of years now. Growing up I was deeply interested in the Arts and music, especially blues, hence the brand name StickyBackBailey - my "blues name" we discovered online some years back and had a giggle! I was actively singing the blues with my fathers band, drawing, designing and encouraged to be creative while younger. At a certain age my creativity became a little stifled by fear and other pressures (though occasionally designing jewelry and brainstorming ideas, and also doing some music) and so I focused on school, career and what comes next etc. while forgetting to really nourish what was important! silly mistake ;) some health issues about two years ago allowed me some free time at which point my jewelry, amongst other interests started to come alive for me and with that I feel pretty happy. StickyBackBailey for me represents creativity, and the part inside you that you know is more important than what society tells you is the right way to go! StickyBackBailey is the part that wants to stick it to the man. Most of the pieces have been custom made so far, and my favorite part is allowing a person ordering to tell me what they feel like wearing, what inspires them, the style they vision, and what they would feel beautiful in, so that the piece is theirs only and they can own there own StickyBackBailey.
