Esty shop of the month: HotPinkandSequins
This month, we’re drooling over hot pink and sequins. Which is of no surprise. Except we’re talking about a killer Etsy shop.
HotPinkandSequins.etsy.com is an online shop where “ugly clothes are given a second chance.” Boulder artist and designer, Erin DeLargy, is the mastermind behind this one-of-a-kind shop, which features all recycled, repurposed fabric — from thread to lace to yarn found at thrift stores.
Out of yuck, DeLargy creates funky bags, clothes, accessories and dolls. And if you’re curious, she says she’d be happy to tell you about the items’ “past lives.” We love her chunky Cherries Jubilee Decadence necklace, made from upcycled leather, bead sand mosaic mirrors ($52).
And as it gets chillier, we are eying her dark brown and white striped legwarmers (only $14) and the Summer’s Lament upcycled wrist warmers ($22).

Then there are DeLargy’s quirky little dolls, such as Miss LaLa, a five-legged striped space creature made out of recycled fabric and stuffed with fabric bits. Just like HotPinkandSequins, this doll is unique, colorful and made us smile.
