The Devil wears Marc Jacobs
The green movement has slowly been snowballing, into something so big, no one ever expected it! Especially here in San Francisco: we carry our own canvas grocery bags, shop for organic produce at the local farmers market, drive electric cars, or better yet take public transportation. It's only natural for us to take the next step into affordable Eco-friendly fashion!
Lisa Bittan has been doing her part, along with her partner in India, where they make beautiful scarves for Ya Living. The Ayurvedic fabric used for the scarf is 100% organic, and all hand-loomed, then dipped in organic herbs designed to enhance wellness and treat certain medical conditions. I was lucky enough to snatch up at gorgeous blue/gray scarf, helping with potential insomnia, and digestion problems!
The scarves are not only healing, but so attractive! They are ultra versatile, and chic. You can just pile on the material round and round your neck and make this statement accessory your own. This hot new design has barely been around for a year, but has definitely made an impact on the fashion community. Fred Segal and several boutiques in Southern California, and on the East Coast have already picked up the line and made several re-orders!
The scarves come in an array of colors, and now more designs are available. Just last week Lisa debuted a new silk/batik line made from the same herbal colors. I love the black and white, with the tie-dye print at the top, and the ikat print on the bottom! I wonder what that helps with? Maybe it's for shopaholics--because I might just need that one too!
The gift box that these precious scarves come in, are no exception when it comes to the global movement. the boxes are either sewn by hand from the material of a tree native to India, or hand painted with traditional Indian art. This is one trend that is sure to become a classic!
are these ok for guys to wear?
