It’s already August (how did that happen so fast?), which means we need to start thinking about fall. Whilst basket bags are an absolute summer staple, their beaded counterparts are poised to become the 2018 autumnal must-have accessory. In a variety of shapes and colours, ranging from completely see-through to rainbow neons, these shiny bauble beauties (as seen in the work of designer Susan Alexandra) recall the jewellery-making kits of childhoods past. Alternately a structured pearl or wooden version can be quite sophisticated, especially when paired with classic pieces like a simple white dress or blazer.
