I saw this headline on a style blog write up. EF stands for Eileen Fisher the designer and they offer this shibori wrap for $138 plus shipping. I dare say that much more inspired shibori scarves can be found without traveling to Japan for the same price. I’m just saying, if I [...]

I’m going to participate but in a slightly different way………
