COVID Face Masks: Safety with Style

Last updated on August 21, 2020

It looks like COVID face masks are going to be with us for a while. So far, they have been merely functional. While our current wardrobes for running errands may have devolved to baggy t-shirts and elastic-waist pants, we can still add a spark of beauty, whimsy, or simply great style with the COVID face masks we wear.

You know you feel good when you wear something you love. Get one, or some, of the creative COVID face masks offered for sale online by Peabody Essex Museum’s gift shop and Studio Hyacinth.

Peabody Essex Museum

The Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem has debuted a line of face masks based on some of the artwork in their collection. The PEM is one of New England’s finest (and often overlooked museums). They are also offering COVID face masks designed by local artists Carla Fernandez and Maria Conejo.

Studio Hyacinth

Studio Hyacinth is the creative space of skilled local seamstress Nobuko Yoshihara. She makes beautiful custom garments, as well as doing clever alterations and repairs.

Nobuko is now making a full line of COVID face masks in sizes from toddler to large adult. She uses charming and witty fabrics to make masks in many colors and patterns. Nobuko works with Marimekko fabrics and beautiful Japanese kimono silks. She also offers cartoon character, action hero, and local sports team logo masks. New fabrics are arriving all the time.

As with everything good these days, patience is necessary. These COVID face masks are handmade and very popular. Be assured any wait will be worth it.

Consider ordering a few as gifts for family and friends.

You will look great and feel great in these beauties. AND, you will be supporting local businesses and cultural institutions. A real Win: Win.

Please Note: I do not have any financial connection with either The Peabody Essex Museum or Studio Hyacinth. I just like what they are doing with face masks. I want to help people find a spark during the “new normal”.

Looking for a spark of fresh energy or beauty in your home or office? Contact me. We’ll discuss how to tailor a consultation to meet your needs.

Be well; be safe.
