barton&bell's 'tu media naranja' is a Mexican love story...
'tu media naranja' chronicles the journey of finding your 'half orange' - that other half, your perfect match...
Inspired by the colourful designs of the game Loteria; El Corazon (the heart), La Rosa (the rose), El Sol (the sun) and La Luna (the moon) have been selected to tell a tale of love and romance.
In a bold bright colour palette reminiscent of the playful theatre and colourful traditions of Mexico the collection weaves together luxe leathers, silver, brass and semi-precious stones encapsulating imagery of Mexico and it's unique culture and arts.

'El Sol & La Luna'
The sun (masculine) and the moon (feminine) are seen as a love story. Where the sun will bear down on any given subject the moon softly enfolds our attention. She is considered a luminary but produced no light of her own accord. She is reliant upon the sun's light to make her 'glow'.
