SKIN & BONES | Fashion Extras Magazine (UK). August 1984. The “Futures” editor: “But the last word has to go to CANDLES IN THE RAIN. You first spotted them in FASHION EXTRAS this time last year. Now Val and Bill Norrington have done it again, bringing leather and jewellery together in one product–water formed bangles and neckware. No two pieces are alike and quite frankly I’ve never seen anything as original as this. The designs look as if they could come from the neck of your neighbourly cannibal with the leather taking on a bonelike quality. But underneath the gloss it’s all leather. A great gift!” |
