The Pink Lapel is hand-crafted accessories by married couple April and James Burks.
For Valentine s, they re launching a Galentine s Day campaign, with a Philly twist. The small business is teaming up with another local maker called Devereaux Printing and creating Valentine s Day cards using Philly slang. One reads, You re my favorite jawn. You can also send a custom message, along with a gift and a few extra goodies, confetti and limited-edition Valentine s Day stickers.
The former Best of Philly winners run the operation out of their home studio.
April is in charge of the sewing, partner James assists in operations. It all started in 2014, when April made her husband a bow-tie for a special event. One of her biggest sellers is her tie-less Velvet Turban, the perfect zoom accessory.
