We’re finally getting to a place where handmade and artisan fashion is becoming more mainstream and that means more affordable. When looking at a price tag, it seems people rarely consider the materials, costs, and most importantly, work, that went into creating a piece, so yes, prices can seem unreasonably expensive. Everyone is looking for a rate that’s only realistic when compared to mass-produced, lower quality products. I’m excited to see makers and designers turning their passion into a product that others can choose over the alternative, and get a lot more out of.
This ethical fashion gift guide has is a jumping off point for anyone who has a fashion-forward, modern girl on the list, and it hits a lot of price points. I imagine the cozy scarf, moto jacket, or ballet flats for your sister or best friend, the cuff as a more personal gift for a jewelry lover, and the bags for friends, coworkers, or stocking stuffers. The headbands are so cozy and cute, you can get away with a one-for-me-one-for-you type of situation!
Renegade LA + the Echo Park Craft Fair are next weekend, so I’m hoping to find something special there.
How is your gifting going this year?
