Spratters & Jayne's Winter Collection
New York], November 18, 2011 - A
great scarf is essential to keep warm in the winter and if you want a
cozy, hand crochet scarf, Spratters & Jayne's Winter collection
should take your attention. S&J creator and desigmer Rachael Warner.

Spratters & Jayne, lovingly named after a pair of pet turtles, happened when she started hand crocheting the scarves she wanted to wear but couldn't find in stores. After gifting them to friends and family, and getting stopped constantly on the street by strangers wanting to buy them off her person, the brand was born. Since S&J's beginnings, she has traveled to Peru to ensure fine-quality workmanship with a very talented group of artisans who hand crochets her designs one-by-one. Every piece has a great attention to detail and focus on luscious, cozy, head turning style. Her philosophy: A great scarf is essential to keeping one warm in the colder months. Anyone can have the most interesting clothes underneath their coat, but its what's on top that has the most impact. Rachael studied Art at Vassar College, and received her MA in Photography from the University of the Arts UK, London College of Communication in 2005. Until crocheting encompassed her life, she worked in television and the music industry doing photography, her other love. |
