Fall Knits are a Hit for Twinkle

Summary: Twinkle’s fall collection is all about leisure and freedom, as seen through a spectrum of different colors, layering and disheveled girliness. The addition of chunky handknit scarves and berets enhances the layering effect. While chunky knits are known as Twinkle’s signature, her sweater dresses and handknit accessories are functional, quality pieces. The mixture of muted colors put together in one look adds a bit of playful spunk.

To complement the collections, Twinkle has costume jewelry label, Twinkle Accessories, as well as a fine jewelry line, Twinkle Jewels.
