Ginette NY: All That Glitters…is Fabulous!

Tags: , , , , ,


As I mentioned in one of my last post:I live and die for accessories! A super high and strappy sandal causes my heart to skip several beats…a delicate charm necklace makes me swoon…and the perfect bag is enough for me to contemplate blowing my rent money and moving back in with my parents. Believe me, I’ve thought about it. Sad, I know.

With all that said, each week I’ll share with you one of my favorite accessory lines…some of which you have probably never heard of. Being a fashion editor has it’s perks and one of them is being introduced to up-and-coming designers and getting the scoop before the masses. Gotta love….and so will you!

To start, I’d like to introduce you to……. Ginette NY!

I first fell in love with the delicate gold necklaces from this line designed by Frederique Dessemond (originally from France, but now lives in Brooklyn NYC). These days I find myself piling on thin gold strands to make a cascading effect around my neck and the pieces from Ginette are the perfect addition. Frederique doesn’t stop at necklaces, her line extends to earrings, rings and bracelets. She is most renowned for her Victorian inspired monogrammed plate designs. They give an old-world feel with enough glitz to make you fresh and current! Many of the Ginette pieces can easily become items you pass down through the generations.

THE LOWDOWN

Price Range: $100-$600 (yellow, black or rose gold)—Pricey. But, the pieces are well made and beautiful

Where to Buy: Ginette NYC Boutique/172 West 4th Street/212-627-3763, Shopbop.com, and Piximarket.com

You should know…: that Shopbop.com always has great sales on Ginette! And, they just started carrying Ginette Etc, a line of bags from the company. Check here to see!
