Besides masks, her online shop also features a wide selection of ornate accessories, such as handbags, caftans and capes.<\/p>\n<p>It was a friend who gave her the idea for the drinking modification,\u00a0according to Fast Company. In one week, she and her assistant produced 40 masks, each of which takes about an hour to complete. They use cotton combined with other embellished fabrics from her stockpile of colorful and bedazzled scraps, and charge $30 apiece.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-64202\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/straw-mask-83.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"662\" height=\"441\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/straw-mask-83.jpg 662w, https:\/\/www.thefastfashion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/straw-mask-83-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 662px) 100vw, 662px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15647394\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mask designer Ellen Macomber<span class=\"credit\">Ellen Macomber<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Within half an hour of launch, the whole lot had sold out.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cWe were thinking of doing a lip appliqu\u00e9, where it would flap open and close, but you\u2019d have to touch your face. I was like, \u2018Well that won\u2019t work because you have to touch your mask,\u201d Macomber told Fast Company. \u201cThat\u2019s when I was like, \u2018Dude, we just drill a little flap, an extra layer, and you angle the straw to get in. So the hole is never completely open.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She thinks the masks are going to be particularly useful to those who spend more time in public spaces.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything is better than nothing,\u201d she said. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to be handling different errands \u2026 this is just one option for one of the variety of errands you\u2019re needing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The cheeky designer made clear that she is not a health expert, nor should her masks be considered the best form of prevention. Still, she says her invention fulfills a critical gap in the market, claiming that people will continue to meet and drink together regardless of masks. At least this way they can do both.<\/p>\n\n<p>\u201cThis is the biggest s\u2009-\u2009-\u2009tshow I\u2019ve ever encountered in my life,\u201d says Macomber. \u201cSo I\u2019m just rolling with the punches, and trying to provide my clients with what they\u2019re asking for: a mask.
