About
Rooted in Beauty. Crafted by Hand.
Karin's Garden was born in 1989 from a simple, enduring belief: that the natural world — its blooms, its textures, its quiet elegance — belongs in the details of everyday life. For more than 35 years, founder Karin Mital has been translating that belief into handcrafted silk and luxury floral accessories worn by women who appreciate the art of getting dressed.
The Founding Story
Karin started designing accessories long before "artisan" became a marketing word. Working with fine silk flowers and botanical materials, she built each piece with jeweler's attention — the kind of care that shows in the weight of a brooch, the drape of a hair pin, the way a corsage holds its shape across an entire evening. What began as a personal passion became a brand with staying power, stocked at iconic destinations like Bergdorf Goodman and featured across the most prestigious publications in fashion.
35+ Years of Craft & Heritage

What Makes Each Piece Special
Every Karin's Garden accessory is handcrafted using premium silk florals and luxury materials selected for their texture, longevity, and likeness to the natural garden. No two pieces feel quite the same — that's intentional. Machine-made uniformity has its place; a Karin's Garden piece is not that place. These are accessories with a presence, the kind that invite a question or a compliment, the kind you keep.
The range spans hair accessories, flower pins, brooches, and wearable florals designed to move between occasions — from bridal and formal to everyday luxury.
