Silk Bunny Ears

Do you recall I posted last Friday hoping an Etsy artisan would create their own version of the Marc Jacobs/ Louis Vuitton silk bunny ears? It happened! The fabulous Mary Kaiser of Mary Kaiser Ltd. whose stunning handbags I have posted about here has made her first ever silk bunny ears which I snatched up immediately. Aren't they darling? Made from the prettiest rose silk taffeta. Mary uses the most wonderful fabrics and I'm sure it will be gorgeous. I heard from Mary today on her way to find more wonderful silks to create more bunny ear headbands. I will keep you posted, but keep an eye on her website here and Etsy store here, or email her directly. At $75.00, I am keeping my fingers crossed for a second one in black or turquoise.

Be a Carpetbagger

Since fashion and interior design are my two great passions, I was thrilled to find these gorgeous bags that combine the two! Mary Kaiser Ltd. is full of wondrous things, but these carpet bags, her signature, are my favorite. She uses fabrics like Scalamandre, Clarence House, and Lee Jofa in gros point, cut velvet, and tapestry and lines each with silk. Each bag is then trimmed in such things as vintage ribbon and braid, French jacquard, velvet flowers, and Italian brass and leather hardware. The beautiful ribbons are pinned on and can be taken off to wear on a dress or hat. These are $325 which I think is a great price for such a couture one of a kind handbag. Which one is your favorite? I adore the first bag in one of my favorite Scalamandre fabrics. I know my friend at Sanity Fair is going to go wild for the green coral bag.
