Yes, we saw you do a double take… We’ve been getting that all summer long thanks to Mignonne Gavigan, one of our favorite accessories designer. Mignonne “Maggie” the mastermind behind the label first started her signature beaded chiffon scarf necklace, the Le Charlot in 2009. The idea was born when she draped a ripped piece of an embellished vintage gown around her neck and realized the beauty it could have as an everyday accessories piece. You can honestly wear it with a plain tank and it makes such an effortless, yet bold statement. (Be prepared to pick-up jaws- no joke!)

With her career as a designer, she studied at Parsons Paris and Parsons New York leading to great opportunities where she designed handbags for Khirma Eliazov, and shoes for Rachel Roy and Loeffler Randall. Maggie’s experience has given her the luxury to travel around the world looking for inspiration and materials that has now played a vital role as a designer for MG New York.

Her accessories are perfect to dress up for any occasion or put a little glitz and glamour to a plain white tee. It’s a must-have staple for our wardrobe. Can’t wait to see her upcoming collection, as it just keeps getting better.
