DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT SPECIAL: Nancy Bacich

Today's Designer Spotlight is a very special one. Nancy Bacich is a dear friend of Fragments, a fabulous jewelry designer and a whole lot of fun. I am so happy to have her back in our showroom with her edgy and unique creations - handbags, cuffs, layered mesh chain necklaces and of course, her staple item - the mesh wrap bracelet in a bevy of metals.

Right now our absolute favorite of the wrap bracelet collection is this fabulous two tone rose and gunmetal available exclusively on Fragments.com and in our store (116 Prince Street, New York City) through the month of October. Other than it being incredibly chic, feminine, edgy and insanely comfortable, we are so in love with this piece because it's our way of giving back to something very special. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month - something that we know touches the lives of women worldwide every day. That being said, Fragments has collaborated with Nancy Bacich and Women at Risk in the fight against breast cancer. Women at Risk is an organization that educates and supports women who are at high risk for breast cancer. It is our greatest pleasure to support this cause alongside Nancy Bacich with this wrap bracelet, from which 100% of the profits will be donated to Women at Risk. We welcome and appreciate your support so very much.

Now...back to the Designer Spotlight, featuring Nancy Bacich. Enjoy! And please don't forget to spread the word about our amazing collaboration.
