etsy shop - Larime Loom


...introducing the Larime Loom Etsy Shop and Lucia Squillari the Italian designer (with an American mom) behind the name. She blows me away with her selection of handmade dresses, designed and fabricated by herself!

Picture cobblestone streets, an afternoon in piedmonts and a cappuccino w biscotti...

Imagine touching a garment of linen, silk or wool made from that area... the soft folds of the fabric evoking such a romantic location every time you put it on...

Maybe it IS environmentally friendly to buy something handmade from overseas if it is almost as good as the travel experience itself!

And while you are there check out the handwoven shawls that are naturally dyed with onion skins, chrysanthemums, elderberries and other plants! This shop is definitely a splurge but well worth it. Any of these items will stand the test of time and become an instant classic!
