“Just three little girls, bored with the ordinary, making fantasy out of fabric scraps.” It sounds like the winsome opening to a Zooey Deschanel tune or a Sofia Coppola flick, but it’s actually how the designers behind the vintage-inspired hair accessories brand Teeny House Bunny describe themselves. The three little girls-turned-entrepreneurial women in question are Alexandra Wise, Dyana Nematallah, and Robin Reetz. They met during their senior year at Savannah College of Art and Design, and after dabbling in fashion-type jobs in New York, banded together to pursue their crafty aspirations. The trio began cutting, sewing, and pasting together pieces of fabric and lace and selling their delicate one-off wares on Etsy and Teeny House Bunny (a moniker formed by stringing together their nicknames) was born. The response was huge, but perhaps not as huge as when Paris Hilton picked up one of their pieces during a trunk show at Henri Bendel. Other now-we’ve-made-it moments followed, like when Emma Watson graced the cover of Teen Vogue in their punky purple feathered headband and when the queen of retail cool, Anthropologie, ordered 4,500 of their designs last holiday season. THB’s sophomore collection debuts on its new Web site today, and it doesn’t disappoint. Look for tie-dye chiffon hair twists in colors like absinthe green and speckled white and black that can be doubled up and worn as a glam headband (festival beauty alert), dollhouse teacup bobby pins, chiffon knotted scarves, and organza flower petal pins.
