independent jewelry and clothing designer, Angie, from Norwegian Wood, creates original necklaces, earrings, leggings, and skirts made out of things like fringe, wood, and leather (and more to come in future collections!).

here are Angie’s thoughts on buying clothes from an independent designer over a mass-market store:

I think it’s really hard for people to buy their entire wardrobe from independent designers (due to cost, availability, etc.), so people shouldn’t think of it as an “all or nothing” thing. Instead, perhaps start to slowly add special pieces to your wardrobe, pieces you know you’ll love for years to come, not necessarily “practical” basics, although they could be if that’s your style. I think that if one takes this approach, then one day you will wake up and find you have an entire wardrobe of beautiful well-made clothing, instead of cycling through “must have” pieces every year. In the end, it’s the smart way to build a stylish wardrobe.  Think of it as creating a lifetime collection!
