Laurela Fashion Guide

It is true that chrocheted clothing has never been the type of wear that fashionistas would go crazy about. It has not been very popular for several reasons. First of all, it is almost impossible to create a really good quality chrocheted piece that would keep a nice shape while on. So, no matter how intricate the design is, it is a safer bet to use chrocheted lace as country table cloth rather than a a piece of clothing. Secondly, chrocheted clothing has always been associated with a laid back simple country style, which is quite the opposite of refined or sophisticated.

We love the new amazing collection in teal color dripping with beauty, refined elegance and polished sophisitcation. The collection pieces include a crocheted silk cardigan and sleeveless dress.
