V&Y Mart is a line of one-off eco-friendly accessories that are both chic and sustainable. In particular, its standout piece is a scarf/necklace crafted out of shredded t-shirts.
Founded by L.A. stylist Lauren Constantine, the boldly unique V&Y Mart accessories line offers a new way to express individuality -- and to stay warm. Although her t-shirt necklaces are putting Constantine on the map, I'm a big fan of her big bows.
