If you’re looking for a great gift idea for your bridesmaids, then check out “The Bina,” an ingenious new take on the standard pashmina. It’s a fantastic, versatile “shawl” that you can wear in more than a dozen ways! I recently met with the designer, Bina Brianca, who demonstrated how to wear her creation. Within seconds, she could wrap, snap, and style The Bina into a number of chic looks.
Of course, when left to my own devices, I forgot how to turn The Bina into a blouse. But fear not: With each purchase, you receive a booklet describing how to create each look. I love the way the soft jersey material drapes, and when the AC gets a big frigid in the office, it’s the perfect cover-up. Here’s a sampling of just a few looks:
You can also wear The Bina as a scarf, head wrap, long or short shrug, front wrap, back wrap, and turtleneck. Plus, it can be easily rolled up and tucked into a carry-on or tote. Not bad for a $42.50, one-size-fits-all fashion item! Go to binabrianca.com. And be sure to treat yourself, too. From plane to pool to cocktails, The Bina is the ideal honeymoon accessory.
