I’ve been obsessively searching for hand-made hoodies on Etsy, and instead, I stumbled upon delicate, crocheted necklaces by graphic designer, Danielle Thompson. You can check out her Etsy shop here.

Oh, and it’s not an Etsy find, but I think I’m in love with this perfect Umsteigen hoodie.

Umsteigen also has some nice sweater dresses, too.

Umsteigen is Susanne Schubert, a talented, 29-year-old hailing from Montreal and now working in NY. All of her whimsical designs are limited-edition and individually hand screen printed. You can browse her shop here.

How much do I love Paraphernalia? Here’s a sneak peak at Ms. Vanda’s Wonderland series. And look, she used the classic John Tenniel illustrations! I can’t wait until she releases the white rabbit necklace.
