We're Going on a Behr Hunt...

Slick patent leather bows paired with petite spikes, hand-twisted animal print satins, tassels on crystal, satin and silk chiffon, and a range of opulent hand knits are the prettiest additions to any outfit.

Made by hand in her studio and within a network of small workshops in Brooklyn and Manhattan it makes for a truly marvelous result.
