Designers 5 — A New Creative Hotspot in the Heart of Riga

We’re excited to share some news from our hometown — Riga has a bold new destination for lovers of contemporary design: Designers 5, a unique concept store that’s fast becoming a must-visit for anyone who appreciates craftsmanship, creativity, and individuality.

Located in the very heart of the city, Designers 5 brings together five of Latvia’s leading design voices under one roof:

Meet the Designers

Andris Lauders – Master of Form and Emotion

Andris is known for his expressive, sculptural jewellery that balances ancient symbolism with modern precision. With decades of experience and international acclaim, his pieces are wearable stories — deeply personal and unmistakably bold.

Valdis Brože – Minimalist with an Edge

Valdis explores the tension between elegance and raw texture. His jewellery designs are clean, structured, and architectural — yet always leave room for surprise. His work is celebrated for its refined restraint and tactile beauty.

Māris Šustiņš – Avant-Garde Visionary

Māris breaks boundaries in both material and concept. His bold, unconventional jewellery challenges expectations and sparks conversation. He merges craftsmanship with a rebellious spirit, redefining what jewellery can be.

Antra Hanna Elerta – Narratives in Metal

Antra’s jewellery invites you to look closer. Inspired by nature, history, and human connection, her pieces blend delicate detail with strong form. She crafts small-scale sculptures that carry a quiet, poetic weight.

Ērika Rudika – Soft Power in Accessories

Ērika brings timeless sensibility and urban elegance to handbag design. With thoughtful structure and tactile materials, her pieces are both functional and emotionally resonant. Each bag is made to mov

This collaboration of minds and aesthetics has resulted in a space that feels more like a creative studio than a traditional store — where each piece tells a story, and each visit offers something new.

What You’ll Find

Designers 5 is not your average boutique. It’s a curated concept store that features:

• Contemporary jewellery

• Locally designed clothing

• Handcrafted handbags

• Unique accessories

Every item is created by the store’s founding designers or guest artists — meaning what you see here, you won’t find anywhere else.

A Warm Opening — And What’s Coming Next

The store officially opened its doors in early May 2022, welcoming guests with a sun-soaked garden celebration. Good food, wine, music, and great company marked the beginning of this new chapter — and if you missed it, don’t worry.

Designers 5 has more in store:
garden parties, guest designers, movie nights, and other community-driven events throughout the year.

Why It Matters

At its core, Designers 5 is about more than retail — it’s about connection, local artistry, and putting Latvian design on the international map. This is a space where heritage meets modern expression, and where each designer brings something unique to the table.

If you're in Riga, make time to visit. If you're not — it's worth the trip.
