Neck and Neck

Fyvebydora Accessories

Your neck is jealous.

Jealous of your torso, which gets to wear fluffy Sonia Rykiel sweaters. Jealous of your feet, shod in Italian leather.

Before things get out of hand, adorn them with an accessory by Fyvebydora, a local line of cozy handmade pieces.

The scarves, wraps, ponchos, and capelets (made of cotton, cashmere, and microfiber) are just right for pulling together an ensemble. Your neck will feel playful with a monkey scarf in juniper and citron green. The light blue wrap with a black stripe is the perfect travel buddy. The red capelet with petal cuts will have you looking super groovy, and the pink cardigan is perfect over a dress on chilly nights.

Not that you need extra incentive, but designer Dora Bidrossian donates part of her profit to the American Heart Association, in honor of her husband.

Meaning the adorable things will warm your neck and your heart.

Available at Bettina, 3654 Sacramento Street, between Spruce and Locust Streets (415-563-8002). To see styles or to purchase online, go to fyvebydora.com.
