Beautifully British: Jubilee Jewellery

After 70 years of service, Her Majesty The Queen will become the first British monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee. Following the death of her father, George VI, she ascended to the throne at the age of 25. She has advised 14 prime ministers, met 13 US presidents, and served as a figurehead as the country has navigated numerous crises in the intervening years. Events will be held throughout the year to commemorate this historic occasion, culminating in a four-day weekend in June. To celebrate Joe Cool has put together a selection of beautifully British fashions for your enjoyment.

Show off your pride with our range of earrings, socks and bracelets decorated in the famed Union Jack. Our capital city is home not only to the Queen but to many other Great British icons. Recognised all around the world, the red double decker bus is a well known symbol of the British capital making Joe Cool’s double decker drop earrings a must have component of any iconic look! London is also home to the worlds most famous clock so fittingly we have a pair of socks and golden stud earrings starring Big Ben. Our charming pair of beefeater earrings are also just as delightful!


Patriotic palettes adorn our collection of signature socks. The faded hues of our embossed floral pairs offer a variation on the classic red, white and blue colour story. A nostalgic daisy motif and jumbo heart print are a more playful approach to patriotic socks whilst our London bus or Frida Kahlo pairs are .

Red, white and blue themed accessories abound. A Bowie-esque thunderbolt ring is beautifully British whilst our glass millefiori necklace and bracelet duo is too good to miss. Our resin square ring is the ultimate statement piece especially when paired with our alluring acrylic earrings in bold square and circle styles. Mottle cellulose hoops and stud discs are equally gorgeous.

Sensational scarfs in show-stopping prints will complete any Jubilee outfit!

Hello Yellow: A Cracking Easter

Hello Yellow: A Cracking Easter

Easter: For some its an excuse to devour an inordinate volume of chocolate (if you needed one), and others, a celebration with deeper meaning. On the fashion front, it means truly embracing spring with pastel shades and floral prints, rabbit motifs and sweet accessories. A true embodiment of the phrase “look good, feel good”. Joe Cool has a host of seasonal treats perfect for injecting a little spring flair into your existing jewellery box.

Easter yellow is a seasonal staple. A colour that feels good and engages positive feelings that are contagious, after-all, couldn’t we all use a little sunshine right now? Take a look at our fabulous yellow accessories: Marbled effects can be found on our fusion bangle and ceramic drop earrings. Our chevron printed scarf is evocative of Easter egg decorations whilst our acrylic chain with graffiti detailing, tassel earrings and polka-dot glass ring are an eccentrics dream. Petit fleur in garden hues and papaya printed socks in blue and beaming yellow are must-have spring socks.

The Easter Bunny has upped their game this year with some Joe Cool jewellery and accessories. Charming rabbit motifs decorate socks and kerchiefs, a delightfully quaint rabbit and carrot set of stud earrings, a painterly acrylic brooch and silver origami pendant. Playful tartan ornament and articulated rabbit and carrot keyring are perfect gifts. Alternative to the ones made of chocolate, these bunny treats are free of calories.

Our Kitschy daisy ring that looks as if its been plucked straight from a spring garden. The two-tone double daisy drop earrings are infused with joy and 60’s nostalgia. Lilac socks with sheer detailing will have you looking fresh as a daisy whilst our tiffany blue capis shell earrings are to die for.

Fashionably speaking, the butterfly is literally everywhere right now.

Statement Socks: Put Your Best Foot Forward

Since their inception in Ancient Egypt, socks have spent the best part of two millennia on a turbulent journey to ultimately land at the bottom of, and likely lose their other half in, your washing machine. An often overlooked but no less integral part of any outfit, socks are perhaps the easiest way to elevate an otherwise underwhelming look. Joe Cool’s Statement Socks offer an excellent opportunity for you to express your personality in a way that can be simultaneously understated and flashy, after-all, socks pack a surprisingly big punch, when considered on their own stylistic merit.

Its all about texture with our flora and fauna sock lines. Our sheer collection is adorned in tropical embroidery that is eclectic yet impossibly chic. Embossed floral finishes distinguish themselves from the traditional ribbed and knitted textures, introducing a new textural element to jazz up your footwear. Darling depictions of an enchanting forest & a woodland scene can be found on several of Joe Cool’s statement socks, naturally exuding an idyllic essence.

Arty ankles will adore our flowery Frida or perfectly pastiche pair of Warhol inspired socks. Make the ultimate statement in our hot lips print, sure to keep your name in everyone’s mouth! For dog lovers: A dapper dachshund duo in tiffany blue or a plucky chocolate pair patterned in pug. Geometric prints offer a strikingly sophisticated take on statement sock dressing whilst graphic cow print and fabulous flocks of sheep will result in head-turning hooves. Foodie favourites include our classic wasabi green pair decorated in a sushi motif, the gorgeously gaudy banana print and our fried egg pair, ideal for the eggcentrics of the world.

Statement socks are an easy and inexpensive indulgence that can instantly add character to your wardrobe. As with everything Joe Cool – these socks were made to be seen and our ostentatious offerings leave no excuse for a sub-par sock game. So, what are you waiting for? Pick yours up before they’re all gone!

A story coveted by many, Alice and her adventures in Wonderland have enjoyed a myriad of adaptations in the worlds of art, film, photography, performance and fashion.

Scorching Haute: Sun, Sea and Scarves

We know sun, sea and scarves may seem like a kooky combo, however, these wonderful squares of fabric have a uniquely versatile nature, seemingly able to transport the wearer (in the mind at least) to different locations, eras or entirely different worlds.

scorching haute: sun, sea and scarves

Now firmly in Summer’s grasp, we are all stripping off. The good thing about that is, less clothing makes room for more accessories! And here at Joe Cool we can assure you that more is more. Our exuberant colour story begins with one of our scorching-haute scarves, the best hair remedy for humid days and styled here with exotic cotton thread earrings fashioned in the abstracted image of birds of paradise. An acrylic chain and bangles add a squeeze of citrus, paired with a handmade whale brooch for some much needed whimsy. Add a coin purse to carry all you treasures and you’re ready to take on the seven seas!

Take a look at Joe Cool’s treasure chest of island getaway goodies. A flamingo and pineapple motif makes for a total tropical treat whilst our embroidered sequin eye brooch puts one in mind of seductive sirens from distant days of yore. Dreams of white sandy beaches and pristine waters are captured in a pendant necklace fashioned from iron and glass. The marvelous ‘macaron’ style compact mirror is perfect for all your vacay-vanity needs and our cowrie shell ring and fruity enamel earrings make escaping to the tropics easy as pie.

Versatile and trendier than ever, its time to let our scorching-haute scarves have their day in the sun. Whether you’re pretending to be Grace Kelly driving through the South of France in a chic convertible or living your treasure island pirate (cue eye-roll)…fanta-sea, Joe Cool has a scarf option for everyone. Graphic polka dots and abstract pleated prints work gorgeously as a pony tie whilst paisley and tie-dye prints worn in a bandana style will have all the sea-dogs seeing green. A silky citrine floral moment in a babushka style sounds like a match made in heaven, beaten only by a cotton kerchief neck tie in a tantalizing turquoise. The possibilities are endless!

Art Accessories: Renaissance Re-Imagined

art accessories

Bring the gallery home with Joe Cool’s art accessories!

Unrivalled in its fame, Botticelli’s ‘The Birth of Venus’ has been engraved into popular culture forever and is symbolic for its depiction of femininity, beauty and grandeur. Part of our collection of ‘Masterpiece’ fans, this art accessory is an absolute spectacle. Re-imagined by contrasting the intricate delicacy of the painters masterful hand with gaudy golds, leopard print and Tiffany blue, we paired chunky chains with rusty wooden notes to bring Botticelli into the 21st century.

Staying true to the playful DNA of Joe Cool, an eclectic range of accessories have been selected to couple with our Botticelli Masterpiece fan. Wire and beaded glass textures work in tandem with acrylic and gold finishes to heighten the colour palette found in the painting. Subtle wood tones are used to ground the composition, all styled together to conjure a ravishing Renaissance re-telling.

Fashioned from bamboo and cotton, our ‘Masterpiece’ fans serve both style and function. The chicest way to combat the pesky perspiration brought on by the encroaching summer heat. Whether its Hokusai’s beating ‘Great Wave’, the soothing scene of Monet’s ‘Water Lilies’ or the beaming buds found in Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’ and ‘Irises’, we can’t get enough of the natural motifs in cooling blues and joyous summertime yellows. When they aren’t being used to fabulously fan yourself down in the summer months, they double as their own work of art to be displayed in your home. The ultimate art accessories!

Complimentary to our fans are our range of ‘Masterpiece’ socks in both ankle and ‘no show’ styles. Featuring fabled works by legendary artists ranging from Matisse to Munch to Renoir. Our 85% cotton and spandex blend ensures the highest quality and comfort whilst our variety of designs guarantee trend-setting toes. Why not elevate your sock game with our Mona Lisa selection? Nothing screams fashionista quite like a pair of Da Vinci draped digits!

Rabbits make a perfect accessory to bring joy for Spring!

rabbits and flowers

Rabbits or bunnies are real harbingers of Spring and Easter. This year, why not celebrate the season with some interesting accessories. Rabbits and hares are delightful and enigmatic creatures. It is no surprise that they have played numerous roles in countless stories, movies and nursery rhythms. From books such as Beatrix Potter’s 19th century classic, ‘Peter Rabbit’ , ‘The Velveteen rabbit’ and the white rabbit in ‘Alice in Wonderland’ to the irresistible Roger Rabbit in the movie, ‘Who framed Roger Rabbit’ or Thumper who stars in the beloved Disney film, ‘Bambi’, this animal has a distinguished history in literature and film. There is an equally diverse range of rabbit characters here at Joe Cool. The enamel pin brooch sets featured are straight out of a story book while ‘carrot bunny’ earrings make an unusual ‘mismatched’ pair. A tiny enamel stud earring in a choice of black, white, grey or pink is the most perfect encapsulation. In contrast, a large grey flocked rabbit with its embroidered detail and twinkly red eye makes a striking statement piece. Pink rabbit with scarf is yet another take in padded textile.

Rabbits of many different persuasions adorn our current most popular accessory – socks! ‘Rabbit warren’ is a lovely tree green sock with a sedate sitting white rabbit design, ‘sunshine bunnies’ is a more crazy design on bright yellow and ‘animal treats’ is a happy cartoon bunny with carrot pattern. There are rabbit socks with stripes or hearts and a cute ‘sheer’ bunny sock in pink.

More spring things, rabbits and hares included, can be found throughout the collections. Ducks are always an Easter favourite and new socks in mauve are peppered with these delightful water birds. ‘Quackers’ is the name of a delightful duck sock and Rubber duck is a charming watery scene.

Finally, kerchiefs…rabbits again!
