Alushia Sanchia



Jewellery designer Alushia-Sanchia has the spirit of a wandering artisan running through her veins. Drawing inspiration from her nomadic upbringing, her parents were travelling gypsy jewellery-makers taking her from the UK to India, Japan, and an Aboriginal community in outback Australia . Along the way she discovered the magical beauty in the land, the power of spirit and the cultural diversity of every place she experienced. And she was hooked! Adapting these life-changing influences into her creative process, she came up with her gorgeous Native-American inspired jewellery line Alushia-Sanchia.


Alushia-Sanchia’s design aesthetic is largely influenced by her love of animal totems, tribes, gypsies, love, mother earth, music and the sun. Continually motivated by the power of love as a mother to son Jasper Fleetwood, she identifies with the strong protective and healing qualities of turquoise and black onyx stones that feature heavily in her collection. This has lead her to create jewellery which is not only beautiful, but continues the powerful tradition of jewellery as a talismanic object, something that protects us and reminds us of our connection with the mystical world in which we live.



Alushia-Sanchia is spiritual and passionate and these intrinsic qualities are reflected in her art “I truly believe it’s in my blood,  I see so many things in every day life as jewellery – I am a perfectionist and love to create with my hands. I am so inspired by the whole process from the idea the drawing the design the making and the final product – its like magic. Jewellery to me holds emotion and represents moments in life.”






Alushia Sanchia is available now at Bessie Head... See in store for the entire collection... xx

Pamela Love NYC



Howlite is a super-calming gemstone and many people use it to relieve stress of all kinds. It makes an excellent antidote to insomnia due to an overactive mind.

Focusing on a piece of howlite can assist in journeying outside the body and gaining insight from past lives. Placed on the third eye, it opens memories of previous times and lifetimes.



Single Skull Necklace
 in Black or White Howlite $95







8 Skull Multi Necklace $180



16 Skull Necklaces
in Black or White Howlite $225

10 YEARS...


 10 years is a long time in the Fashion industry.

Labels come and go, styles change, design houses rise and fall and so is the forever changing face of fashion...


                                                      Meet Marnie Byrnes...





AKA MB, Montgomery, Crazy Leopard Lady...the list is endless as most of you well know..

Women of Brisbane unite and thank this wonderful young women for bringing you the best of fashion for the last 10 years at Bessie Head!

Marnie came from Townsville and in her early days was a little bemused that women would part with so much of their hard earned cash for Fashion..
Soon enough she came to understand this passion for Fashion and embraced her true calling..

Marnie ( MB ) we love you and thank you for tirelessly working at Bessie Head and creating a haven for all our fashion wants,needs and desires over the years.. 

Happy 10 Years!



Do you know this face?



Yes it's Lisa!
AKA Turek, L.T, Turekmondo and some other names we can't mention...

Little Lisa came to Bessie Head not long after Marnie and in time, her love for fashion also blossomed. 

After learning the ropes from the best, Lisa then of course went to the dark side..

FALLOW

For those of you who have ventured up the stairs and behind the black door you will know that Lisa is also a dedicated leader in Brisbane fashion- selecting only the finest of wares from all over the globe for her customers and casting her discerning eye over all that we offer.


Marnie and Lisa thank you for your incredible passion, loyalty and constant dedication during the good times and the bad... 

If you would like to say 'thankyou' to these wonderful young women for your own personal experiences 
in store with them please do so on the store Facebooks!



Turek likes champagne by the way..and MB loves a red!
