Are you a Road Warrior or more of a Mad Maxine? Angie of Norwegian Wood has a knack for creating unusual accessories for the coy all the way to the hard-core statement maker, all of which are guaranteed to instantly elevate your fashion cred - no wonder she's the go-to for fashion bloggers in the know!
Each design is a true original and hand-made by Angie in her Montreal studio using both new and vintage fabrics and trims. Her cage skirts, fringe necklaces and earrings and harness top in variations that range from zips and chains to stretch vintage lace are her signature designs - for now! She's always on the hunt for interesting trims and findings so who knows what she'll give us next?
Her latest design is the harness top with shoulders (seen above and below), in black with fringe - the 'Road Warrior', and a softer, retro lingerie look with smaller shoulders with beaded trim and vintage lace detail in shades of brown, ivory and coral. Angie offers up some great looks for the harnesses (yes, that's her modelling and what a great model she makes) but the possibilities with these are as endless as your imagination. (And the prices are incredible for such special, handmade pieces).
See the Norwegian Wood shop at Etsy for the full range of statement accessories.
Update: I just received my first Norwegian Wood purchase, a pair of indigo fringe earrings with a silver hoop and metal tassel (these are the shortest of the fringe styles). I just adore them, they look ever better in person - they are just so cool! I'd show you but I can't get a shot as good as Angie's, so here they are on the gorgeous creator herself:
Yeah Angie! Way to go! I love the new versions of the classic harness. Lookin' good girl.
