Trinket By Kath is an Indonesian lifestyle & stationery brand cofounded by my high school friend, Jenny Sylvia & I, during the pandemic in 2020. Sharing the same passion for beautiful merch & stationeries, we decided to work together. I am in charge of the creative direction, while she focuses more on the logistic & marketing of the brand.
We've experimented with different mediums to transfer illustrations into merch these past two years, from papers to embroideries. One thing is for sure; we want to create not only beautiful products but also highly useful ones. We want to develop products that the customer truly needs.
For the branding, I created Trinket By Kath to be modern & minimalist but with a playful twist. Although colorful, it's not overly loud & could complement the illustrations nicely. The logo itself is a simplified form of a dandelion bud. The Dandelion has been a meaningful symbol to me; the Dandelion as a flower is an icon of resilience, adaptability & hard work. I also featured it in my branding for my college graduation in 2014, which you can see here. You can also say that the same spirit inspires Trinket By Kath.
We call our customers "Trinket folks" and we love creating special goodies for them. Here are one of our cash back voucher designs that acted as a collectable stickers. Little things like these are so fun to create!
We are going to produce more beautiful & useful products for our customers.
