PONO for the Holiday
If you are looking to refresh your everyday look with beautiful accessories, visit the new site PONO Annex for earth-bound pieces, including bracelets, earrings and necklaces. The modern items are crafted from natural woods, shell and natural horn, and are perfect for your seasonal wardrobe or for gift ideas. Prices for the nature-inspired line range from $12 to $160. One of the great features of the site is that there are new accessories added every week!
PONO was founded by designer Joan Goodman, who is also the President of Bobbi Trim Ltd., a button manufacturer and distributor for designers, including Marc Jacobs, Vera Wang and Thakoon. Several years ago, Goodman wanted to expand the company, and PONO was conceived as a creative representation of the years she spent in Hawaii. The name for the accessories brand was given after her best friend in Hawaii, whose name symbolized “goodness and belief in perfect order.” She was inspired by nature’s beauty to create organic-like sculptural designs, while maintaining a close connection to nature. Today, each item is crafted in Italian factories using natural resins, with constant care to the environment.
For the holiday season, there are many items to choose from at PONO Annex. The unique pieces are marked down to approximately 75% off of retail, such as the lovely pearl and chain necklace, priced at only $48. You’ll want to treat yourself to a couple of items for being a earth-conscious fashionista!
