Organic Blend scarf

I'm excited about my latest design, the Organic Blend scarf.

Each scarf is one of a kind, handmade from an organic cotton/hemp jersey blend, organic cotton corduroy, and the finest repurposed sweaters and shirts. And they are unisex!

Now available online.

Last weekend I hosted a gathering at my home to introduce Green Wish to the Coachella Valley. Green Wish is a grassroots, non-profit charitable organization that is focused on helping local green organizations fund projects for their communities through small donations at local retailers. I met the founder, Raphael Sbarge, at the Unique L.A. show in Santa Monica this past summer and I really was impressed by the goals of the organization and hoped that I could get more involved. So I partnered with my mom, Gloria Kelly, who has years of experience in community service, to organize a Green Wish introductory meeting in the Coachella Valley.

Raphael along with his children and fellow Green Wish board member Jenna De Angeles took time out of their weekend to meet with us. We had a great group at the house and we all are inspired to move forward with a new chapter of Green Wish in the Coachella Valley.
