The jewellery brand TI SENTO – Milano launches its new Autumn Winter collection with an encouraging message for all: the future is in (y)our hands!

The new TI SENTO collection finds inspiration in the charming world of the 70’s. An opulent world of art deco revival redesigned for present-day magic. At the heart of the brand’s retro style are malachite green, black onyx and turtle green stones. And, of course, vintage gold plating!

In the context of uncertain times, the brand gives a positive message for the future. Arrows are new iconic TI SENTO pieces symbolising strength and direction. Designed as whole arrows or stylised arrow feathers, the designs play with geometries and contrasts of colour. The star designs are another big protagonist of the collection. In the words of Art Director Lilian Van Zuylen: “They are reminders to keep our eyes up at the stars and our feet grounded on earth”.

The collection features three main themes: Malachite lights, Vintage Magic and Wonders of past and future. Each theme represents a particular style and carries a special message.

Additionally, the New Collection features a Red Carpet limited set! The protagonists here are the signature snake showpieces which are gold-plated with emerald green stones and finished with shimmering white zirconia. Extremely iconic and luxurious statement pieces.

Our summary of the TI SENTO Autumn Winter 2020 collection? A pure balance of design, high quality and sense of beauty.

The brand will launch its New Collection on September 1st, this year in Virtual Reality! A bold approach taken in the face of covid-19 related restrictions in order to communicate directly with their retailers and distributors around the world.

Amsterdam, 16 August 2020

Today, TI SENTO – Milano, the European jewellery brand, has launched its digital flagship store in China on Alibaba’s B2C e-commerce platform Tmall Global.

Founded in 2003, TI SENTO - Milano, called 蒂姗特 in Chinese, is a European affordable luxury jewellery brand headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Since its change in strategy TI SENTO has developed rapidly the past three years and currently has over 3000 selling points in more than 30 countries around the world. The combination of digital channels and department stores as well as online and offline integration, makes TI SENTO gradually become synonymous with a new generation of high-end silver jewellery worldwide.

“We have spent a good year to understand the Chinese market but above all the Chinese consumer. Chinese women are independent, confident, beautiful and fashionable. Jewellery has become an important part of their daily wear. The size and importance of the Chinese market should not be underestimated. We know it requires focus, understanding, patience and experience. The foundation we have set over the past 17 years and the change in our global strategy will allow us to really focus on this. I am convinced that we can combine local opportunities with global goals to take the brand to the next level.” Says CEO Arjan van Zuylen

A recent article on Jing Daily titled The Rise of China’s Girl Boss — Luxury’s Newest Target details that “Despite a deep-seated patriarchal culture, China is one of the world’s top countries regarding executive gender equality. It now has the world’s highest proportion of women working in senior management positions, the second-largest percentage of female CEOs, and a full half of the world’s self-made female billionaires. Living in a traditionally male-dominated country at an entrepreneurial zeitgeist, these women want designs that accentuate both professional poise and femininity.”

Therefore, “A design for women by women seems like the perfect way to satiate the Sheconomy’s new appetites.”

“TI SENTO - Milano is a brand designed for women by women. I can’t wait to see Chinese women wear our jewellery. TI SENTO is looking forward to meet the needs and expectations of Chinese women to provide them with more diverse jewellery choices. We are very excited to cooperate with Tmall Global, so that our Chinese friends can easily and quickly own TI SENTO jewellery." Continues Design and Art director Lilian van Zuylen

TI SENTO foray into the Chinese market started more than a year ago, supported by Five Degrees, a Dutch-Chinese boutique consultancy that helps Western companies enter and navigate the Chinese market. “After a period of hard work in uncertain market conditions, where we have helped build the foundation of TI SENTO's China operations, team and partner network, we are confident that they are ready to capture the hearts and minds of women across China”, says Bei Wang, Chairman of Five Degrees, a female business leader herself.

About : TI SENTO – Milano. Goldsmiths who love silver | since 2003.

The Atelier of TI SENTO – Milano was born when the centuries turned. Their goldsmiths were the first to bring gold standards to silver jewellery; the first to give silver the respect and attention it deserved. Walking into the TI SENTO atelier is like finding the treasure at the end of a rainbow. Silver and stones are scattered over the worktables as their goldsmiths bring their own designs to life.

The TI SENTO - Milano Atelier is a space full of contradictions. It’s a mix of bustling energy and intense focus. The goldsmiths are not working with gold but with silver. They break the rules and follow their hearts, creating sophistication with a twist

TI SENTO x DANIE BLES
The TI SENTO - Milano x DANIE BLES collection is defined by vintage influences, a mix of gold plating, and cheerful summery colours.
