Screening Process

Ashley Jeanne Scarves Debut

There are expectations that come with a name like Betty Sue: You best be pretty, proper, and put together.

Ashley Jeanne Granata stands up to her double name. Trained in textile design, she honed her hand-dye and -stitch techniques in her eponymous debut collection of scarves.

The accessories are hand-screened in her New York studio and come in three different designs: Photo Orchids, Wallpaper Plates, and Cartouche Floral. They’re the perfect mix of preppy (stripes), girly (flowers), edgy (graphics), and whimsical (neon), making them suitable for hipsters and spinsters alike (depending on how you tie them).

Proving these babies can do double duty.
