SoCal’s western vibe influence in fashion and accessories.

Having lived in LA now for 7 years, I have seen sunsets with colors I couldn’t have imagined, desert landscapes that seem otherworldly and have fallen under the spell of the SoCal vibe. I appreciate the craftsmanship of an authentic native designed piece (like the richly colored Faherty cardigan, third photo down) but you can also find the southwest influence in many designers’ collections as evidenced by the lovely items below:
