about
noah falke
noah falke is a dream come true and a work in progress. owned and run by Oktober Falke Bak Jensen, a professional artist and jeweller based in Aarhus, Denmark, the brand is about exploration into subjects like nature, deep desires, forgotten stories, big feelings, beauty in the mundane and much more…
I hope to inspire people to break out of their shells and get a little spark of life in their outfits or their homes! i have made a promise to myself to live a colourful life with all it means, because i feel 10 times happier, when my surroundings are playful and fun
no pieces will be recreated. all of my jewellery is to be considered as individual pieces of art with a meaning and a story for each piece of art<33
the brand
sustainability
Sustainability has always been a must for me. Taking care of our planet and each other is a core value in everything I do, including my art!
90% of all my materials are either gifted, thrifted/secondhand or found in local nature. I rarely buy materials from new, only when I need specific colored seed beads or jumprings and clasps.
When you buy from my brand, you’re not only getting a unique piece that no one else has, you are also choosing a more sustainable alternative to fast fashion!
I also offer free repairs (not including free shipping), because I want to make sure, that your piece lasts a lifetime. My jewellery is not meant to follow trends, they are investments and pieces of art. I hope to make jewellery that you can wear the rest of your life<33
When packing your orders, I reuse paper scraps from my studio, giftwrapping paper collected through the years and boxes that are either reused ones from my own personal orders or boxes from Jakodan, which are made from re-used paper/cardboard, CO2 neutral, FSC-Certified, produced in Denmark and Europe, and plastic free.
All my canvases used for my paintings are reused or thrifted, the paint I use is thrifted/secondhand.
Fashion and art will never be 100% sustainable, but I do my best to minimize the negative environmental output from my business
Oktober Falke Bak Jensen, they/them pronouns, 24 years old, born and raised in Denmark.
I’ve always been creative and dreamt about being a full time artist. To me, artworks as a kind of therapy and break from the constant pressure of performing. As a child and teenager I mainly focused on painting and drawing, but I soon came to think it was impossible to live solely of my art, so when I graduated from highschool I applied to university.
I studied four semesters of classical philology and then transferred to English literature. One semester into my English studies I discovered jewellery making. Next thing I know, I’m deep into creating piece after piece and completely forgetting everything surrounding me and all my responsibilities.
It was clear to me (and my family and friends) that there was no turning back now! And so, we are up to speed. I still paint and draw, but my main focus has come to be my jewellery art pieces. I hope to be able to offer drawing and painting courses in the future, as teaching is one of my favourite activities
Besides crafting, I enjoy spending time with loved ones and going for walks. I love dogs, cats, bugs, whales, parrots (just animals in general), making memes, watching indie movies, drinking coffee, swimming in the ocean, listening to good music and reading odd literature.
One thing I discovered through this whole process of making my own brand is how well it fits with having multiple disabilities. Being autistic, having adhd and being mentally ill has always made me fear life after education, working several hours everyday with colleagues and deadlines and expectations etc. It scared me, but doing this… i’m not scared anymore, which is why I’m willing to risk it all for this way of life. Being a self owned business comes with a lot of responsibility, but it also allows me to live a life where my disabilities aren’t such a setback, a life where I don’t have to apologize for myself and where I can finally use the quirks of my disabilities for my advantage
