After losing his job as an attorney, Luigi Bianco decided to follow his dream and create a stylish and comfortable knitwear label. The Votary scarf collection seeks to reinterpret the classic look and blend it with the highest quality construction using utilitarian elements. Founded in New York City in February 2012,Votary’s initial desire is to revolutionize an often overlooked – but nonetheless defining – element of one’s personal style:  the scarf.  The line is at once premium but also democratic in its approach, and strives to produce pieces that are destined to be favorites for years to come.

Similar to the term, the Votary collection is meant for one who is a firm believer, supporter or advocate; an enthusiast; a devotee; or a faithful follower. Votary scarves, and complementing blankets, were created as a staple in the fashion accessory industry along with making an original statement translated through the materials, over-sized construction, reversible design, fully knitted production – and all proudly designed and manufactured in the United States.

·         All Votary pieces are proudly designed and manufactured in the USA

·         Non-scratchy hand – as soft as Merino Wool

·         Machine Washable

·         Hypoallergenic

·         Double paneled, over-sized construction for extra warmth and added structure for styling

·         Fully knit construction – no sewn edges to cut costs

·         Reversible design

Making a lasting first impression is always important and to that end Luigi has always thought what is at eye level and used for layering was super important – be it scarves, cardigans or jackets. So with that philosophy, he wanted his inaugural collection to inject well-constructed, smartly designed style into life with premium, yet accessible, oversized scarves. The money Votary raises is needed to cover the costs of our production in the tri-state area factory with whom they have partnered in hopes of promoting in-home jobs.  With customer support, we will get the knitting machines fired up and get these scarves and blankets into customers hands for a warm and stylish winter.
