A CSUSM student and creator designed a line of beanies along with a clothing line under the

alias Stichhands.

The brand was established in late 2009 as a symbol of modern day counter-culture manifesting

its ideas into reality. Stichhands posted his original designs on the Internet and established

himself as a visionary.

Stichhands also has a conceptual line of clothing that emphasizes in photography and urban

street fashion. The brand hopes to expand to various states and eventually other countries.

Beanie weather is approaching and Stichhands has created a new line of beanies out with four

different color options—forest green, dark grey, cotton-candy pink and light blue. On the beanie,

the logo “Stichhands” is written in white font. This can be seen in the photos in which the

models, Denise Nguyen and Lani Dizon, are wearing beanies by Stichhands.

Beanies are the exemplary icy climate cap. To transform the beanie to a refined fashion

declaration, stick with a chic style and wear your beanie in a way that accentuates your aspiration

for elegance rather than plain usefulness.

On Instagram, Stichhands is doing a Stichhands giveaway and you and friend can enter for a

chance to win a beanie. Rules to enter: first, post a picture of you and friend doing something
