Stacked Bangles
Layering multiple bangles is poised to become a major movement. Adding a dynamic touch to designers like Emporio Armani and Zimmermann who will showcase these in their Spring/Summer 2025 collection.
Bold Beaded Jewellery
Vibrant beaded accessories are gaining popularity, offering a playful yet sophisticated aesthetic. Ralph Lauren and Saint Laurent have incorporated bold beaded pieces into their recent designs.
Chain Belts
Reviving a ’90s staple, chain belts are making a comeback as versatile accessories that can enhance both casual and formal ensembles. Chanel and Miu Miu have featured chain belts in their latest runway shows.
Modern Baroque Pearls
Baroque pearls are being reimagined in contemporary designs, offering an organic and elegant appeal. Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection includes baroque pearl necklaces.
Colourful Gemstones
Jewellery featuring bright gemstones in shades like aqua, cobalt, and garnet is set to be prominent, adding vibrant accents to various looks. Designers like Rafael Indiana and Lizzie Mandler are leading this trend.
Bag Charms
Personalizing handbags with decorative charms is another emerging trend, inspired by fashion icons and recent runway shows from Miu Miu and Balenciaga. Designers are creating charms that can also serve as key chains or necklaces, adding versatility to these accessories.
MiMi’s 2-Week In The Philippines
While I was sweating at the computer in Norwich, MiMi was messing around harvesting rice in Abra, Philippines!
China & Hong Kong Bead Buying
It’s hard work buying flat-out from 11am to 7pm everyday, but fun. Prices have only gone up a little from last year – China doesn’t have UK-style inflation, but pearls are still expensive. We met up with Joanne & Daron from Southampton Bead Shop – and our friends in Hong Kong, where we used to live for 25-years. I love all the seafood meals and roof-top BBQs!
