A tribute to craft

The beaded bag is offering a more summery alternative to the all-over occasion rhinestone interpretation of this winter season. The beaded bag alludes to craftsmanship and incorporates a strong DIY, hand-made appeal. The familiar and charming aesthetic of the piece is resonating with consumers who are focusing on local arts, keepsake products and mindful purchases. While wooden beads enhance this look, classic pearls add a more sophisticated and luxe interpretation of the look. Searches for beadwork have solidly grown by +50% and indicate that fashion-forward consumers are showing growing interests within in the product. Without hard understructures, soft beaded bags with decorative handles or cross body straps feel vacation-ready and provide useful yet stylish qualities for summery city escapes and beach days.
