INSPIRED BY GALANOS, NORELL, HALSTON AND BLASS

 With a desire to bring Haute Couture to the home through stylish, one of a kind creations, I am thrilled to announce the launch of OCARINE, a distinctive collection of accent pillows made with vintage beaded samples. Victoria and Octavia pillows above.

Hortense pillow

In designing the collection, I have sourced the  most distinctive vintage embroidery and beading samples from Mary Ann Embroidery, a company active in Los Angeles from the 1940s through the 1960s, once used by fashion icons such as Galanos, Norell, Halston and Blass.

A mix of both classic and modern shapes and an assortment of the finest materials were selected to highlight and frame the elegant workmanship of the vintage samples.

Pauline and Paulette pillows

Clearly, these are not pillows to lounge on, I consider them jewelry for the home. Each pillow comes with it's own silk organza dust bag!
