Hello there, shoppers! Accessories, accessories, accessories … love, love, love. Cusp, Cusp, Cusp … love, love, love. And yet another reason to feel amorous this AM is thanks to a new line of accessories available at Cusp that very successfully combines fashion with eco-friendliness.
Fashionistas, if you thought the only thing mangoes had to do with fashion was bearing a hot-right-now hue, then you were wrong. Meet Mango Tree Fitted Bangles.
The bracelets are made from Grade A mango trees after they’ve already been cut down due to no longer yielding fruit, and available in four different sizes (hence, the fitted description), 50 different colors and three different fun styles (slim, samba and bold).
Plus, they are fairly inexpensive. Slim and samba styles are $16 for solids, $18 for marbelized styles; and bold options are $20 for solids, $22 for marbelized.
And you know you were planning a visit to Cusp anyway for their Last Cuts sale.
Happy shopping!
