Supporting local artist and buying US made items has made a comeback and is a requirement to some. My outfit below is styled almost entirely with handmade items in America, and most are made from local artists here in Wisconsin.
This awesome handmade tunic sweater is made from the very talented Laura Walgenbach, owner of Pointelle Design in Madison WI. She specializes in hand-knit accessories like headbands, scarves and fingerless mittens. She also makes great warm weather items too, like lightweight scarves, fashionable headbands and new to the mix are cloth button earrings and braided fabric necklaces. Needless to say she is a talented busy bee!
Here is her ETSY shop
Showcased above is some of my crafty jewelry work along with an example of Laura's fashion headbands. I have been making jewelry for almost two years now and just in recent months I started selling. I work mainly with sterling silver and specialize in the cute little geo studs. You can find my jewelry at (shoo) in Milwaukee and Madison, also on my ETSY shop.
And of corse, you can't forget the shoes! These ultra sleek flats are made right in the US! Yes, I know thats hard to believe but the CYDWOQ brand is handmade right in California! You can find other cool styles from this brand at (shoo)
(shoo) is a locally (and family) owned shoe store. You can find both mine and Laura's work at the Madison location.
Thanks for reading!
Live everyday Fashionably
