Hip Handmade with Modish: Scarves

Awesome style blog Modish has started a new series that really piques our interest: Hip Handmade. This series utilizes the idea of comparison shopping between the "big box" version of hip clothing and accessories and the handmade, Etsy-style version of said products. As Jena from Modish explains,

"Those big box stores are calling your name with cheap deals on hip clothes and accessories, home goodies that you just can't live without, beckoning you to become part of the latest fashion trends of the moment...it can be hard for the indie design world to keep up!  But, they do keep up- it's just sometimes a little more difficult to find the hip handmade goods that rival the big box stores' goods in style, but far surpass them in quality, creativity and uniqueness!"

This post does a whole comparison on the lightweight summer scarves you've seen adorning ladies' necks. 


All the handmade options came from Etsy! Check out Modish for more Hip Handmade comparison shopping.

The handmade versions are so very much more appealing! Modish is so with it.

This article really shows the superiority of handmade scarves. What's more, you won't see yourself coming and going in something made by hand. Many of these Etsy products are one of a kind.
