Marlaina Stone, LLC creates individually crafted artwear skillfully constructed from the hands of skilled artisans. The Marlaina Stone Collection, the Company's premier line is literally art you can wear. Each piece of artwear is comprised of complementary and contrasting elements--mixing ancient fossils with fresh water pearls. Each piece is named inspired by real people, who inspirited the team and the brand.As we experienced increased recognition with the couture brand, we realized that the price-point made our designs unattainable for so many of our fans. So we challenged our design team to forge a brand that delivered head-turning design for everyone. What our designers came up with was staggering. They created artwear that pulses with energy and exists in a state of complete conflict that many designers would be too afraid to attempt. Marlaina Stone's designed were featured in Town & Country Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Boho Magazine, Redbook, Styleline and Hour Magazine to name a few. Her pieces are sold in specialty boutiques and online at marlainastone.com
