Bookmark This! World Book Day 2022

This year will mark the 25th anniversary of World Book Day, the organisation is dedicated to assisting children from disadvantaged backgrounds who do not have access to books at home. In this digital age, it is more crucial than ever for young people to develop a passion for reading. The value of literature and the core skills it reinforces are immeasurable . In the spirit of the organisation and it’s cause we are spotlighting our bookmarks and fairy-tale inspired accessories.

Our kimono print bookmarks are fashioned from intricately detailed floral fabric that is detailed in gold motifs evocative of the east. The six colour variants all have their own unique design. Similarly, our tasseled bookmarks in a different yet equally chic kimono print have the added flair of a tassel, bookworms rejoice!

Our exquisite hand-painted bookmarks come in several distinct styles depicting various scenes of nature, ranging from waterfalls to koi fish to cherry blossoms and lotuses. All of our handpainted bookmarks are made from wood.

Take a look at our fairy-tale accessories inspired by some of our favourite stories. Alice in Wonderland themed goodies are a Joe Cool classic! Our playfully quaint acrylic pendant chain will capture your heart whilst our teacup and teapot earring duo and ace of spades ring are showstoppers! Our Tinkerbell earrings are dainty delights especially paired with a pair of adorable socks featuring Peter Pan and Tinkerbell. To top it all off a golden pair of castle earrings…the thing of dreams!

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!
