Jewelry is more than just an accessory for a Toronto based Burmese designer Karen Pyu, who is the creative force behind the brand Mondselle. Karen has made a name for herself with creations that beautifully combine her Burmese heritage with the urban western perspectives. Her jewels have already won the attention of Myanmar and Hollywood celebrities, including MYA and Aung San Suu Kyi, a noble prize winning politician of Myanmar. Just a year after completing her design degree at OCAD University in Toronto Karen launched her brand in 2015, which quickly rose to popularity in both Myanmar and Canada because of her unique representation of Myanmar’s cultural elements in a modern design.
