Beaded Bags Are In!!!

I walked into the shops for one thing and came out convinced of another: beaded bags are officially having a moment.

Everywhere I turned there was another one. Flamingos, fish, flowers, fruit, postcards from Ibiza, abstract art, dramatic fringe and enough sequins to rival a disco ball. Some were whimsical, some were wonderfully weird, but all of them had one thing in common - personality.

Rather than simply show you the bags, I grouped them into the trends that caught my eye: Fringe Benefits, Flower Power, Travel Bae, Foodie, Animal Instincts, Spiky Things, and Abstract Art.

For a season dominated by quiet luxury, these bags feel like a rebellion. They're colourful, playful and unapologetically fun.
