The Designer
Louisa Catharine, began her love of designing at the age of five much to the consternation of her mother.
She raided her mother’s jewelry collection when left alone by her nanny. She promptly set about dismantling a number of pieces which she systematically “reconstructed”.
To this day her Mother treasures her daughter’s early attempts at Jewelry Design.
Coming from a business minded family, with two older brothers, she was always passionate about following in their footsteps and leaving a mark on the world as they have done too.
Her love of designing never ceased and while still at school she began her first company in partnership with an older friend. Their business was fashion based, with a number of clothing lines of which they outsourced eighty percent of the manufacture thus allowing Louisa Catharine to complete her schooling.
During their first year in business, her business partner brought back a number of exquisite pieces of silver and turquoise jewelry from his vacation to South America. Her passion for jewelry design was once again ignited.
Louisa Catharine went on to study jewelry design and manufacture, many amusing exploits followed, including a close encounter with acid when etching a three dimensional piece covered in hieroglyphic styled writing. Occasionally she’d go home with a slightly singed fringe, courtesy of the blow torch, however, all these antics led to a global business on which she now thrives.
On completion of her jewelry course, Louisa Catharine was inspired to study further and enrolled in fashion design/manufacture and choreography.
Whilst designing ballgowns for her clients, Louisa Catharine found a gap in the market for certain styles of jewelry which are simultaneously unique and versatile.
Her focus turned once more towards jewelry and as a result, Bagaceous™ was born.
Her designs have led her into entertainment after her first Red Carpet Order and since 2006 she has also been involved in the production side of the film industry.
