I have an obsession with scarves. I guess I take after my father who also loves scarves. Anytime I would get sick as a kid, my dad would tell me it's because I wasn't wearing a scarf and protecting my neck. From that point forward he would wear a scarf around the house, and so would I. As the colder weather descends, I'm starting to wear my scarves around the house. Now I won't just wear any old scarf. I wear fashionable scarves. I wear fashion-forward scarves. I wear retro-inspired scarves. I wear only the coolest.
This scarf from Pinka is one of the coolest. I was initially drawn to the pink lace flowers I saw on the image online. When I got the scarf in the mail, I loved it even more because of the subtle detail in the grey plaid. The same color pink is hidden within the threading. At first I thought the mix of plaid with flowers was forward-thinking. Now I see that there is actually some matching!
Then comes quality. The fabric is nice and thick, sure to embrace the neck and protect it from cold. The lace flowers are stitched very well, not allowing petals to crease over with wear. Overall it's a very high quality scarf!
Pinka of Pinka Boutique, is always sketching whenever she sees or thinks of a design. Then, she finds a fabric that work well with the design, the structure, as well as the usage. Normally for bags, she does one of a kind and custom size bags but for some, she cuts patterns out of thick papers for future usage.
Pinka love haute couture designers but she looks at real people who use the stuff she makes. She wants her products to be cute, useful, lasting, and simple. She is really big on recycling, reusing, and reducing. She reuses all cardboard boxes such as cereal, cookies, or pasta boxes to ship as well as recycle mail envelope. Those things are only used once and if that can be reused in anyway, she might save a tree or two in her life time.
Pinka is also a humanitarian, who hosts a craft bazaar on her front lawn once a year to fundraise for the local Humane Society. It's coming up on December 6th, so if you're in the Orlando area be sure to save the date!
