Tyne O’Connell is the Queen Bee incarnate!” The Daily Telegraph

 

“Draped in pink and sipping saki in her fashionable London Warehouse,the impossibly glamourous O’Connell!” Elle UK

 

Tyne O’Connell inhabits the worlds she writes about: exotic, unconventional, off-piste in every way.

 

Working with artists and artisans like a latter day Medici, Tyne designs her own range of artwork, clothes, jewelry and crocodile accessories under her label Apis Regina; a range which is exclusive to her and which no one else can purchase.

Bespoke defined:

Bespoke must never be confused with the ghastly terms, "custom-made" or "made-to-measure." The word bespoke derives from bespeak, meaning 'to ask for' - as in, ask and you shall receive. The word originated on Saville Row, London and referred to the bolt of cloth chosen and put aside to be cut, assembled and built around the very being of the gentleman or lady; the garment becoming part of them, not merely something they were able to gad about in.
