Scarves
A woman's outfit is incomplete without the finishing touch of accessories. The versatility and ease of a scarf have helped to retain its place as a must-have fashion accessory for women. Lightweight for summer whilst still adding warmth for winter, scarves are an all-year-round staple for any woman's wardrobe.
There are many ways to incorporate a scarf into your look, including: wrapping it around your neck, draping it over your shoulders, as a headscarf to cover your hair, hanging loosely from the neck, or tying it around the straps of your handbag. It is a simple way to accessorise an outfit and can give a fresh new edge to an existing wardrobe with little to no effort required.
Whether it's running errands around town, playing outside with the kids, heading out to dinner, commuting, or just working at the office, women everywhere will reach for this accessory to dress up or to dress down their look.
Scarves can be used to introduce new colours or texture to an outfit, and work with all kinds of clothing jeans, trousers, dresses, sweaters, tunics the list goes on. The flowing fabrics are a valuable addition to any woman's wardrobe and are a timeless accessory to have on hand.
Because of the versatility afforded by just one piece of cloth, scarves have become a must-have wardrobe piece for travellers. They will only take up a small amount of space in a suitcase, but offer so much flexibility for both formal and casual dress styles. They will give any outfit a sophisticated edge and are also good to have on hand in the evenings for when the temperature drops.
Fur Vests
Fur vests are the perfect way to stay warm on cold and windy days. They allow for simple winter styling that helps retain warmth, without feeling too bulky and without the need for a full winter coat.
Our current range of wholesale fur vests include designs made from lamb's wool and woven rabbit fur, in a variety of colours including white, cream, grey, and black. The vests form a stunning silhouette when worn, and are suitable for both formal and casual dressing in the cooler months.
LaVida recommends wearing these items with a long sleeve shirt, denim, and boots, for a warm winter's outfit with a touch of luxury. However, a fur vest can be worn with just about anything, and still appear ultra cozy and chic.
Beach Wraps & Kaftans
Every woman needs a beach wrap or kaftan for the summer months. The perfect swimwear accessory, these wraps are a must-have for the beach bag and are an essential item for any summer getaway or vacation.
Beach wraps and kaftans are made from lightweight, breathable material that will leave you feeling cool and at ease. Wear them over your swimmers as a cover-up, to help feel comfortable when out of the water, and to protect your skin from UV rays. In a pinch, you could also use them as a towel!
When travelling to parts of South East Asia and other sacred sites, it's a good idea to keep a beach wrap in your travel bag to pull over your shoulders before entering any modest temples. This will help ensure you don't miss anything on your holiday due as a result of not having appropriate coverage.
