Chupi
Chupi Sweetman designs timeless fine jewellery to celebrate life’s most precious moments of love, hope and everything in between. Working in recycled solid gold, precious stones and consciously sourced diamonds, her award-winning pieces are intended to mark every chapter in life’s perfectly imperfect journey.
Beautifully designed, consciously made
As much a beautiful design object as functional packaging, the suite is made almost exclusively with natural, biodegradable and sustainable materials, from paper and card to silk and organic cotton. Working with renowned packaging designer Vincent Villagér, the goal was to design packaging that could live on as keepsakes and equally be easily recycled.

Charlotte & Tess
Sarah-Jayne, a mother of three and former style columnist for Local Women magazine, has always had an innate passion for fashion and style. With years of experience working in the fashion industry, she took a bold step in August 2020, launching Charlotte & Tess—a multi-brand online boutique named after her daughters—while on maternity leave from her career as a business studies teacher.
Her vision was clear: to curate a collection of high-end, effortlessly stylish pieces that make women feel confident, chic, and empowered. From timeless wardrobe staples to trend-led statement pieces, Charlotte & Tess quickly became a go-to destination for fashion-conscious women.
Building on the success of her boutique, Sarah-Jayne expanded her vision in November 2024, launching her own label: Atelier by Charlotte & Tess. The brand embodies her signature aesthetic—feminine, classic, and timeless designs that seamlessly fit into the modern woman's wardrobe.
Understanding the demands of a busy lifestyle, Sarah-Jayne has curated a collection that is effortless to wear, easy to style, and always elegant. Atelier by Charlotte & Tess is a fusion of simplicity and standout design, crafted from luxurious fabrics with a focus on quality, fit, and versatility. Each piece blends delicate femininity with structured power tailoring, ensuring women feel both sophisticated and empowered.
From beautifully tailored blazers to flowing dresses, each Atelier piece is designed to be a wardrobe investment, worn and loved for years to come.
