A. KAR is a Los Angeles based fashion brand of luxurious and unique exquisitely handcrafted handbags and jewelry designed and created by Adrine Karapetyan. A. KAR by Adrine Karapetyan’s accessories, handbags, and jewelry double as sophisticated WEARABLE ART and are conversation starter pieces that can make anyone stand out in a crowd. The designer’s desire to always wear something different and never-before-seen pushed her to begin creating at a young age and eventually bloomed into her own couture fashion brand. Each one-of-a-kind A.KAR signature felted wool “LAVASH” scarf is an individual ART piece created from the magical process of patiently layering down gifts of nature, pure raw wool and silks, to create a unique shape with unpredictable fabric textures that sometimes even surprise the designer herself. The shape and holes of the scarf are reminiscent of a type of magical everlasting Armenian bread, LAVASH. A. KAR's best-selling "Lavash" scarf is a great gift idea. You can create any style by using the different holes and wrapping the scarf as you please, making it as magical as its namesake. Her signature A. KAR “GORG BAGS” are named after the Armenian word “gorg” meaning “carpet”, since the fabric of the trendy, best-selling bag is created with carpet making techniques. The pops of color and meticulously carved patterns reflect the designer’s fashion forward approach and eye for detail. A. KAR's iconic BEETLE BROOCHES are meticulously handcrafted with embroidered natural stones, Swarovski fancy stones, crystals, chatons, beads, and pearls. Every unique piece finds its unique owner and is perfect for any outfit choice. The ornate details and beautiful colors make this a conversation-starter piece and the three dimensional shapes of the bug create the impression of a swift landing on your shoulder. The embroidery is so complex, it makes you instantly want to take a closer look. The beauty of each piece lies in its exclusivity and the designer’s mission to be a TRENDSETTER with every piece she creates; the combinations of different techniques allow each bag to always be different and impossible to repeat.
