Accessorizing with Monograms

When I was much younger, living in Manhattan and working in the accessory industry, I remember coming across a greeting card phrase that has stuck with me ever since. The front read “The only thing that separates us from the animals” and on the inside “is the ability to accessorize”.  For a young girl riding the subway to Midtown while mimicking the Madonna look of lacy scarves, multiple pearl strands and dangling chunky earrings, this couldn’t have been more precise.

30 some odd years later I have grown to believe a select monogram can set my accessories ablaze or be the perfect accessory on its own.  Adding a monogram to anything is the ultimate before and after.  First it’s a simple tote bag, add a monogram and then it’s a personalized accessory - but don’t limit the possibilities to tote bags.  The options are endless!

As I always say, “If it doesn’t move monogram it!  If it does, monogram it before it gets away!”
