Accessories – New York - NYC

Angela “Scarfia” Brown is a 26 year old accessories designer who started Scarfia Designs in October 2011. Even though she has two degrees, a B.A. in Apparel Design and a M.A. in Student Affairs, her accessories creations began with basic supplies and no education in the field. The community’s love for Angela’s creations is what made her turn simple personal created earrings into a brand, building to carry all varieties in accessories. Angela’s designs have been featured in an International magazine, broadcasted on national TV for BET’S Rip the Runway and have earned her the title of RAW Artists Accessories Designer of the Year in NYC for 2012. Her recent diet change to vegetarian inspired her to launch the “Go NAKED” Vegan Handbag line and Community Awareness campaign in March 2013. “NAKED” is an acronym standing for Natural, Access, Kindship, Environmentally Friendly and Detach. This campaign is targeted to help encourage the urban community to be more aware of their personal health and influence them to make more natural choices when it comes to their diets. So far, Scarfia has hosted two events sponsored by UNREAL Candy and Yogurtland who\'s product is a natural alternative which members of the urban community should be exposed to.The Scarfia accessories line now includes handmade jewelry, vegan belts and vegan handbags. Scarfia can now be purchased online at www.scarfia.com. As well as the Style Shop at the Fashion Institute of Technology where 20% of all pruchases go directly to the students at FIT.
