Local Designers Making Stylish Face Masks
The CDC is now recommending that people wear non-surgical face masks when they're out in public to help stop the spread of coronavirus and local brands are answering the call by offering an array of stylish options. For best usage, the mask must fit properly and cover your entire nose and mouth. Here’s a look at a few of our local favorites that are available right now.
This stylish mask by Portland designer Sarah Donofrio of One Imaginary Girl features a fashion illustration printed on silk. The cotton liner is a unique print from Liberty London. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this mask will benefit Rose Haven PDX. The One Imaginary Girl collection also features other face mask styles.
Seattle brand Over & Over is using vintage kimono fabric to create adjustable face masks. The front of the mask has a curved seam that is interfaced to hold the shape. The shell fabric is 100% silk and proceeds benefit Food Lifeline.
The Oula Company face mask is 100% cotton and is hand sewn right here in Seattle using scrap fabric from previous collections. Handwash to clean using a mild detergent.
