Arm Parties with Carley Ochs
When Carley Ochs, founder of Bourbon and Boweties, lived in Shanghai two years ago, she returned with jade and fashioned her own souvenirs. As she wrapped a bangle around a red Solo cup, a brand was born. Of the name, she explained, “We used to make bowties so I wanted something that was represented by the South.” The designer, who was in town Tuesday for a trunk show at the Ca D'Zan Lounge in the Ritz-Carlton Sarasota, hand-selects stones from around the world, yet all of the now-famous ‘arm parties’ are created close to home. “It’s important to me that it's insourced from the U.S. when outsourcing is so prevalent. It’s made by proud Southern hands.” Find Bourbon and Boweties at local retailers: Molly’s! A Chic and Unique Boutique, 1874 Stickney Point Road, Sarasota, 941-921-1221. Treat Boutique, 530 S.
