Yesterday I was invited to come to Antwerp and meet the lady behind my favorite bracelet brand,
Sal Y Limon. I felt so honored and excited! I did my 5 questions interview and we had some awesome
arm parties. Meet Raffaella Iten Metzger, that sounds just as pretty as the SYL bracelets look like.
Which designer would you want to work with?
Tom Ford, definitely.
What is your favorite bracelet of your own collection?
Actually it's very difficult, because every season I have new favorite bracelet. In a way my all
time favorites are from the very first collection because they were my first designs. On the other
way, every time I design everything with my pencil - me: really?! - Yeah! I do everything by hand
first - me: wow! - So when I design a bracelet I don't know what it would look like once it's
produced. My favorite bracelet is actually always a surprise to myself.
Which celebrity would be the best to represent Sal Y Limon?
I think it's very, very different to say because one of the key points of SYL is that I really think it fits
with very young people who are classy, chique, hippy like - me: so no Miley Cyrus? hihi - Well,
nothing against Miley Cyrus! - me: me neither by the way! - But if it was for me to say I guess it
would be someone a little bit older than her and a little bit more classy, perhaps. But I think even
Miley would do something very bright and colorful. - me: Because you have every color of
the rainbow in your collection, I think there's at least one bracelet for any girl or
woman - Absolutely!
What was it like to work with The Blonde Salad?
It was great. I met her two years ago and she is very down to earth. She just got famous at the time that
we started working together. So her manager said to me; you have like a connection with each other.
Because we started out at the same stage and didn't know where this journey would go. And for both of
us it went very well and it is a successful journey already. So every time I see her she is so kind and
she's doing such a great job. She could be arrogant but she's absolutely not.
Describe Sal Y Limon (SYL) in three words:
Ehm... Sexy, colorful and versatile.
