OK, so it’s not for the home, but it is design and it is gorgeous and we are kind of in love with feathers, so it has to be shared!

Check out the range of handmade feathered hair clips in the Frankie Says range - based on old world charm with new world glamour, Frankie Says scouts for vintage embellishments and beautiful buttons, charms, chain and jewels to make each feathered clip completely unique.

Yes, you can wear them to the races or fancy ball or when the mood calls for something OTT and fabulous. But really, who needs an excuse to add some new flavour to an outfit … think of the fabulous Carrie Bradshaw and pop one in your hair for a stroll down any street! Frankie Says is stocked at In Annie’s Pocket, shop 5/7 Lawson Street (Pier Arcade) in Byron Bay, where you will discover a treasure trove of handmade clothing and fashion by local and Australian designers.

The full Frankie Says range of feathers, head dresses and handmade jewellery/accessories is part of a regular stall at every Byron Bay markets. Contact designer Natalie Jean by email at frankiesaysdesign@gmail.com.

Custom orders are welcome and popular. She also has an online store that is a work in progress and is in the process of being updated with all new, fresh designs - www.frankiesays.etsy.com.
