Meet Designer Sumie Tachibana!

I found fashion designer Sumie Tachibana's store on etsy.com a few years ago and her work continues to remain memorable and inspiring. Her keen sense of style and her willingness to break all of the rules make her one of my favorite young designers.

Like the scarf I bought, all of her work incorporates a mixture of textures and patterns while coming from a neutral palette of black, greys, white and cream. Sumie incorporates unique hardware into her when where needed and takes great care in delivering her works of art in handmade packaging. Her work has been featured in New York magazine's Shop Talk column and her work can be found in several stores in and around the NYC area.

Keep up with her latest designs on her website here.
