Tori Praver bikinis go NEON in 2012
Tori Praver’s 2012 bikini collection is in and it features the season’s hottest neon hues!
There are plenty to choose from, but we adore the Nirvana Neon floral print as shown here in the Raven top and Malia bottom.
As always, her suits feature a great fit and incredible details like braided straps as shown here on the Shyla bottom in Fanta,
and more braiding here in the Shyla top and bottom which are both shown in super chic Neon Native pattern.
And if you love fringe, we offer the Dusty fringe bandeau top which looks amazing when paired with the Hoku bottom in Watermelon.
This collection is already being featured in many magazines including this month’s issue of Vogue. Tori Praver bikinis go fast at Ophelia so shop soon for your favorite!
Wayuu Mochila at Ophelia!
We have recently returned from Colombia and while we were there we made sure to bring home some of the new “it” bags for the season:
These are Wayuu mochilas. “Wayuu” refers to the to the indigenous tribe of Colombians who create the “mochilas”, or bags. Each mochila is handcrafted by a Wayuu tribeswoman and requires as much as 40 hours to complete. The colors and patterns are chosen by it’s crafter, imparting special significance and uniqueness to each bag. In addition, the monies generated by the tribeswomen are used to improve village living conditions and sustain local economies.
The word is out that we have Wayuu Mochilas in our Grayton store, so come get yours soon!!!

Shopping small + Hwy 30A = Big Returns on Nov 26!
As Thanksgiving approaches, we all eagerly anticipate the holiday daydreaming of what’s to come…..
Exquisite meals prepared by loving hands
Quality time spent with the ones we love
Enjoying cool, crisp weather and the natural beauty of the season
Racing through crushing crowds at hideous hours in order to purchase cheap products which will bear no impact to the local economy….
WHAAAAAA?
Wait a minute. That doesn’t sound too fun to us either. Or meaningful.
We can do better!!!!
We know lots of people are preparing for the shopping frenzies know as “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday.”
But here at Ophelia, we’d like to encourage you to dare to think differently and be a shopping trailblazer. We are asking our faithful followers to take the pledge to “Shop Small” on Saturday, November 26th.
Shop Small: It means shopping at independently-owned, community-based shops. Like Ophelia.
According to the U.S Labor Department:
For every $100 spent in local independent businesses, $68 dollars returns to the community via taxes, payroll and other expenditures(versus $43 if you shop with a national chain, or $ZERO when you shop large chains online.)
We challenge you to embrace this movement and support the local businesses in your area. You’re sure to find a thoughtful selection of goods and business owners that are thrilled to have your support. Which makes you feel good. Winning!
And for our local friends, we’d like to share with you a few local businesses that we’ll be supporting this holiday season(and long after it’s through!)
- Fitz & Emme
- Kiki Risa
- Nicole Paloma
- Little Red
- Willow
- Duckies Shop of Fun
- Sweet Bay Prints
- Oceana Blue
- Art of Simple
- Elliot Boutique
- DejaVu

Mohnton, Pennsylvania: America’s new Fashion Mecca…
Huh???
But the hottest ticket in American sportswear is presently being manufactured in conjunction with the 106 year old family-run Mohnton Knitting Mills. The mill has manufactured everything from hats to thermals and camoflauge since 1873 and has now picked up the stripe-happy design line of EDITH A. MILLER.
And more than a few people have noticed: since the collaboration began, the line has been featured in Vogue, Elle, W, Lucky, and the Style section of The New York Times.
And it doesn’t get more “Made in America” than this: the cotton is grown in the South, then shipped to Pennslyvania where it is knitted(in Shillington), dyed and washed(in Shoemakersville) and then the garments are sewn in the Mohnton factory.
We are so proud to carry this distinctive line and to support the rich heritage of American-made sportswear.
Edith Miller Navy/white stripe long maxi
Our collection includes tanks,tees and thermals in signature stripes in various colors but all share the same comfortable fit with a vintage look. Please come in to view the line and help us support American designers(and farmers, factory workers and mills!)
