Alumni Sunday: Carmine Bracelet by Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer

That burst of blue on these Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer bracelets might be made of climbing rope—amazing, right?—but there’s something so intrinsically denim-y about them. The matte richness of the indigo hues really sings against the cast rope hardware. And with a white collared shirt and dark jeans, they make us think of vintage Gap ads and a young Lauren Hutton—definitely looks worth aspiring to. —erica

Bet you never thought something with ties to REI could be so elegant.

These Orly Genger by Jaclyn Mayer, made from climbing rope and shown on the Lela Rose spring runway, make me want to take a trip to REI to shop for supplies. Experience tells me I would leave disappointed, looking for comfort in a carrot cake Clif Bar.
