Karin Wuhrman-Mital 2008

I first met Karin (pronounced Kar In) Wuhrman-Mital of Karin's Garden in 2003 at a prestigious New York fashion show.

I was stunned by her vibrant youth and Nordic beauty. She was supermodel gorgeous with flaxen blonde hair and spell-binding blue eyes. Karin was as charming as she was fetching.  Her smile lit up any room she walked into.

Who better to design some of the most ravishing hair accessories on the planet?

I had discovered Karin's eye-popping designs at the now-defunct Henri Bendel's. The famed New York Department Store had a dizzying collection of the best lines in the known universe.

A Lush Blossoming New York Garden

The Karin's Garden collection held a commanding spot in Bendel's famed accessory department. Karin's hair accessory collection made all the other designers' collections pale by comparison. The line was bursting with a luminescent array of verdant blooms.

They were precision-mounted on various hair findings, including sleek hair clips, pins, bobbies, sticks, combs, and pens.

Every one of Karin's designs was unique and original. I hadn't found any other accessory so lovingly and meticulously handcrafted. 

Breathtaking Floral Accoutrements

I was overjoyed when Hairboutique.com became one of Karin's Gardens' suppliers.  My staff and I proudly promoted Karin's Garden in our online store, weekly newsletters, and hair articles. 

Eventually, I arranged for Karin's breathtaking floral accoutrements to be featured in full-page features in Multi-Media Magazine's 101 Celebrity Hairstyles, Short Hairstyles, and Bridal Gallery Magazine.

Karin's Garden Was A Tough Act To Follow

During our wonderful dinner, I confessed to Karin how thrilled I'd be to see her expand her classic line. I told her I would love to see her designs on headbands and headwraps.

We also discussed edgier designs featuring feathers, faux fur, and crystals. She smiled and kindly told me she'd consider my feedback.

Karin blew my mind with the direction in which she took her renowned collection.  Her new designs left all other hair accessory collections in the dust.

When I found a catalog of her designs from the line's early days, I compared it to her updated collection.

It was impossible to believe how much the line had evolved.

New Design Directions

The brilliant designer unleashed her creative genius. 

Unlike other accessory designers, who secretly integrate pieces developed by competitive creators, Karin designs accessories from every imaginable angle.

First, she does extensive research to determine pending fashion trends.  If that isn't challenging enough, remember that accessory designers work one to two seasons in advance.

Once Karin commits to a new collection, she has to order (and finance) massive amounts of fabric, findings, and other accouterments. 

Completely Hand-Assembled In The USA

Although Karin creates many of her works of hair accessory art herself, she also works with piece workers.  Every single one of her designs is hand-assembled in Seattle. Karin is dedicated to making all her collection pieces in the USA.

When you select a Karin's Garden hair accessory, you receive a custom-designed item painstakingly created by Karin and her team.  The dedicated floral accessory artist never mass-produces any of her designs, nor does she import from overseas.

Accessories Are Only Made Upon Order Receipts

Customers adored the direction Karin took her line, which included a spectacular array of new options.

The hair accessories are so luxurious that you can't help but admire them. They are as timeless as they are elegant.

The designs are manufactured upon receipt of orders, which makes them even more special. 

Karin's collections are wildly popular. They instantly appeal to all females in every age group. 

Not only do Karin's designs sell out quickly, but they are often part of a limited edition collection. 

Once they're gone, they are never available again, making them very rare and desirable.

Karin Wuhrman-Mital Is A Treasure

The Karin's Garden Collection can be found at Karin's store.   It's exciting to know that Karin's spectacular accessory line is thriving and attracting new generations of admirers.

Even after all these years, I am still in touch with Karin.  She is still the same beautiful and lovely person I met in New York City over twenty years ago.  I think of her every time I wear some of my favorite Karin's Garden designs in my hair.  Her floral-encrusted jaw clips are some of my favorites.

I also wear her limited edition flapper feather headband (shown above). The designs are timeless treasures, just as Karin is.
