A beaded bag will instantly transport your outfit into the new season (and next year).
Artisanal, hand-crafted details are emerging as a new signifier of quality and luxury.
The antithesis of mass fast-fashion, designers have been elevating intricate beading, feathers and crochet in collections and you can expect the trend to only pick up steam for summer.
We love that it’s not a trend you necessarily have to pay mega bucks for – the local markets have some incredible finds.
The easiest way to embrace the fashion trend is with a beaded handbag. Seen across fashion runways and on influential style figures, a wave of new styles extend from small beaded pouches and evening purses to holiday totes and everyday carry-alls.
Where to start? The current and upcoming collections by Australian label Alemais are full of colourful texture, including playful beaded and crochet accessories just right for the incoming sun.
