It's in the details...that something that will set you apart. I believe that accessories are essential to this end; they take you to the place that reveals your style, your beauty, your sense of independence. That place where life flows within.

Nagare is accessories. Jewelry to adorn with earrings that drip "beautiful", necklaces that behold the eyes, and bracelets that you'll want to stack up your arms. And then there is the Knit Wear; a celebration of color and texture, reflecting journeys to the unknown...wraps to envelope and embrace, handbags with lots of room for lipstick and rouge, and then of course scarves, hats, and finger-less gloves that ever so subtly accentuate your individual style and add a little attitude. 

Nagare is a Japanese word defined literally as flowing water but often interpreted poetically as in this case with the meaning "to flow with life"...Described as water falling from the heavens into the earth,spreading to the rivers and oceans then rising up again, to the stars and heavens, reborn...continually flowing with life. I find my jewelry and accessories take on a life of their own and when creating my pieces they trickle, rush, and flow into organic shapes, earthly treasures displaying the warmth and colors from nature oftensparkle like the stars, each one-of-a-kind.

One-of-a-kind is just that, and the collections in the Nagare Boutique cannot be duplicated. Each accessory is unique and offered here as well as live in my shop at Crafted in the Port of Los Angeles. Therefore, if you find something you like... do not wait too long to decide. And please know, I confess that I'm working on keeping my site current but there are many more pieces available in my brick and mortar shop. Contact me and I can send you info and photos of my newest pieces.

 Enjoy!
