Flashback Friday! Photo hits from back in the day through last week. Basically a place for me to make space on my camera roll ;-)

At the Haight Ashbury Street Fair this year, a dad came in to my booth and was drawn to this jacket for his teenage daughter. He went to the ATM and came back and told me how much he appreciated it and purchased it. I was thinking, "what a righteous dad, man -- that girl is lucky to have him." At the end of the day I got home from one of the craziest show days ever and the dad had emailed me telling me that somehow he still had his cash -- my boyfriend and I each thought the other had taken the cash and the guy was so taken by the moment himself that it was overlooked by...

Back in the winter of 2010/2011 when I was living in Providence, I found myself with a bunch of random small balls of leftover yarn during a small blizzard.

Basically my favorite new hobby of 2017. Get at me if you want a custom portrait. 

Rocky of Wolffoot and Bearpaw saw the custom Malcolm X jacket I did for my friend Miles, and just had to have one of her own! So I made a version 2.0: I made this with a vintage Gap denim jacket sourced from a local secondhand shop, beautiful textiles from Earth Majesty and some other bits 'n' pieces -- including the band on Malcolm's crown from a vintage vest that Mountain Girl Clothing sent me. it takes a village to make a jacket, y'all! If YOU would like a custom jacket (or whatever) send me an email (hi@larkinandlarkin.com) or fill out this form! I can work with whatever your budget is and I would love to make your totemic clothing fantasies come true ✨👖✨...
