al·ba
('al-bª). noun [usu. as object]
is a handknit cashmere wristlet, named after a white rose with a sweet summer scent. We designed it as a bridal wristlet for a good friend who needed something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue before her big walk down the aisle. The wristlet fits an ipod or blackberry, lipstick, and a few tissues for wiping away tears of joy.
