Lauren Manoogian makes the kind of pieces you can’t help but fall in love with. Her line of delicate knits and statement jewelry, launched in 2010 and all made with organic materials, have a kind of mastery to them that makes wearing them feel special — even on an ordinary Tuesday. She finds inspiration in the process, from sourcing textiles in West Africa to the antiquated looms used to make each piece.
