At Hotbox, "Favourites include Fiona Louie's recently expanded line, Filou, which now offers bow-shaped cut-out pendants that appeal to the girlie girl in us all, as well as 24 karat gold-plated versions of the Asian-inspired lovebirds she made famous nearly three years ago."

Japanese Magazine Filou's Lovebirds Teardrop Necklace
at Shop Cocoon

At Room 6, "special things for nice people such as whimsical necklaces by local (designer) Filou" is Best Buy in Vancouver Magazine

"No Ordinary Ornaments.  Delicate bamboo, crane, cherry blossom and pagoda imagery decorates the sterling silver pendants by Vancouver-based Filou designs.  They reflect the Japanese travels of jewellery artist Fiona Louie, whose studies in everything from ikebana to traditional tea ceremonies are evident in her exacting aesthetic.  She sells her striking hand-crafted pieces at stores like Barefoot Contessa."

"Filou Designs is the sterling silver line by local artist Fiona Louie, who draws inspiration from her time spent living in Japan and travelling throughout Asia."

"Lovebirds Teardrop Necklace" at Shop Cocoon in LOULOU Magazine

"Filou Designs.  Although she works in the "smallest studio ever"--Studio 7 and a half at Beaumont Studios in Vancouver--Fiona Louie's 40 square feet are plenty of room for loads of creation.  Louie, a UBC Fine Arts graduate, is well-known in Vancouver and Toronto for her Kyoto Garden sterling silver collection--which is crowned by the eastern Narrative Necklace, an intricate piece of art and storytelling through fashion."

"Filou Designs, who supply sterling silver jewelry to Vancouver's hottest boutiques and design shows."

"Filou Designs Jewelry is built on the dreams of Vancouver artist, Fiona Luie, who uses her travels and imagination as her muse.  Best known for sterling silver cut-outs and nature-inspired medallions, original sketches are transformed into wearable works of art."
ION magazine
