Love This Scarf

XtinaStyles · Marc Jacobs

Very cute. I am eh about the stringy leather keys, which will def get caught in any clothing, coat toggles, hair, jewelry.

I also think its super overpriced. I see some really cute crochet scarves at flea markets or from street vendors for like $20. Did you check ebay or another etsy? I like the style minus the price and those dangles!

I didn't like the leather/key myself and asked her about making it without those. She agreed to do that if I wanted. I've just began my search!

The scarf isn't my style, but it's definitely cute. Regarding the price, and I say thing from a few different perspectives: it's one of a kind, made in America, and you'd be supporting a (probably struggling, at this point) artist! I try to do this as often as possible.

I think this one is pretty damn cool.

It's very nice, looks like something Anthropologie would have. I agree it's expensive but...if I had spent hours knitting and putting it together, I'd want to get paid for the materials and my time.

Very cute minus the random leather things. I'm a huge supporter of handmade so I wouldn't even flinch at the price. Most good sellers on Etsy price their items fairly.

ETA: I just realized the seller is "fringe". Although I've never purchased from her, her shop has been a longtime favorite of mine :)

I don't get the key on a leather rope thingy, but I love the scarf in the second pix
