Accolades

Augusta Twenty has garnered lots of press over the years - People Style Watch, OK! Magazine, Women's Health, Lucky, and Elle - just to name a few.  Somehow this week feels extra special with features in the September issues of both In Style and Southern Living.  We might just break out the champagne.

Look We Love

Macrame:

An art of textile fabrication using a series of knots, macrame dates back to the 13th century and was widely used in Victorian times as well as the neo-hippie era of the 1970's.  We at A20 have recently discovered our love of modernized macrame.

A belted maxi dress like this offering by Sanctuary gives macrame a tropical vibe, striking the perfect note for summertime or resort travels.  

This handmade owl necklace by local Greenville, SC designer Native Rainbow balances sweetness and edge with its pastel leather.  

Just a hint on the shoulders of this Ella Moss top adds depth and texture to an otherwise simple ensemble.  

Layered over feminine nudes, like on this pencil skirt by Free People, macrame takes on a feminine lace appearance that is perfect for a day at the marketing firm or an evening out with girlfriends.

Artist in Residence

Meet A20's artist in residence, Lizzie Romanstine.  Over the past few years, many of our customers have become loyal fans of her line, Native Rainbow.  Originally hailing from South Carolina, Lizzie felt the pull of west coast sunshine and moved to pursue a degree in fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles.  She made her residence in California for the next decade where she found herself inspired by the desert landscape, artwork by Georgia O'Keefe, riding her horse and her Native American heritage.  In late 2011, she decided to move cross-country to be closer to family and open an animal sanctuary.  You can now find her most days setting up shop at A20 working on everything from handmade jewelry to vibrant scarf dresses.
