The Sway Creates Incredibly Stylish Clothing for the Edgy Girl

— December 4, 2012 — Fashion

The jackets are designed in a biker style with zipper detailing and studded accents that give them an edgy vibe.

The bags are incredibly styled, each one with a completely different look but all of them staying withing the rocker girl mentality.

With such great style, The Sway is here to stay.
