In-Store Designer Spotlight: Tashka by Beatrice


Referring to the Hungarian term for handbag, Tashka by Beatrice was endearingly named for the tote that designer Beatrice Matiash carried her accessories in when first launching in 2000.

From polished to playful, the Tashka by Beatrice collection has been designed to explore the facets of femininity through color, texture and ornamentation. Semiprecious stones ranging from muted pastels to primaries in vibrant or deep tones are all arranged in unexpected combinations. Tashka by Beatrice is further distinguished by a selection of styles that incorporate wire-wrapped components forming knobby clusters, with up to 300 per necklace.

Through the years, Beatrice has been and continues to be motivated by unconventional sources of inspiration. “I am in part a collector,” she said. “Everywhere I go, I feel drawn to the color combination on anything from a flyer to a tea set, and I collect all these things that influence my jewelry designs.”

Beatrice earned her B.A. from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York and formerly worked at DKNY.
