A Feather in Your Cap

Laura Kranitz Hair Accessories

Birds of a feather do flock together. Problem is you can’t tell them apart.

Fly out of formation with a Laura Kranitz feathery headpiece.

Made by hand, the pieces are an extravagant nod to ’40s glamour with a splash of humor to keep things fresh. New and vintage findings like rhinestones, turquoise, sequins, silks, and lace mix with plumes to create whimsical combs, headbands, and hair clips. And each hat is uniquely named just to remind you that this really is art you’re wearing on your head.

Having trouble deciding between a bold and brazen flappery style; the subtle, coy Navajo number; or all the pretties in between?

Just wing it.

Available at Show Pony, 1543 Echo Park Avenue, between Morton Avenue and West Sunset Boulevard, Echo Park (213-482-7676). To see styles, go to laurakranitz.com.
