Ethical Fashion Exclusive: Vella Mode & Ailin
Idyllic setting, clothing and photo by Ailin.
There are those kitchy sea glass necklaces you find at bad beachside kiosks, and then there’s Atlanta-based Vella Mode, an upcycling jewelry house that this spring mixes sea glass with reclaimed, vintage materials and transforms it into something completely swoon-worthy—at a totally affordable price. Love!
