Cuff Love
You used to collect Hasbro like it was going out of style.
Fifty My Little Ponies and nine Easy-Bakes later, the objects of your obsession were (no surprise) totally passé.
Some adolescent addictions last longer. Like Bluebird boutique owner Stephanie Scarpulla’s vintage lace wristlets, a collection made from the stockpile she began amassing at age 12.
Each hand-sewn original resembles a shirt cuff adorned with strips of velvet and dainty buttons. The looks are strikingly au courant: a bracelet of 1960s baby pink lace jazzes up an LBD; an Edwardian ruffle gives business suits a girlish touch.
Okay, so it may seem nutters to wear a cuff without a sleeve. But wearing one solo (or layering with bangles) draws all eyes to a slinky bare arm.
It could be the start of an off-the-cuff craze.
Available at Bluebird, 214 Pierce Street, at Haight Street (415-206-1107).
