Fall is finally here and we have plenty of options for what to wear, from brightly colored coats to sequin dresses, but how will you finish off the look? These are the accessory trends that are expected to mark this fall.
Carryall Bags
A carry-all bag will be an essential item in the upcoming months. Fendi, Valentino, Christian Dior, and others showed clean shopping totes and market bags on the runways and more affordable brands are following suit.
Lifted Loafers
Loafers, which were once considered preppy, are getting an edgier take this fall, with bulky, lug-sole platforms. The thicker platform makes loafers more fitted for winter and helps with extra height.
Indoor Outdoor Slippers
For the majority of the past years and a half, our inside shoes have been working overtime. Now, fluffy slippers and sandals are on their way to become coveted outside shoes.
Clogs
Some might argue that clogs never really went anywhere and they wouldn’t be entirely wrong. This season the coolest way to incorporate the ‘mom shoe’ into your outfit will be by pairing it with an elegant knitted matching set or dress.

]]>Ana Neto and Daniela Marques have been friends since 1998—a friendship that ultimately blossomed into a business partnership when they formed their leather goods brand Maria Maleta. Based in Portugal, the brand is known for its accessories and bags, made with high-quality raw materials sourced in Portugal.
With durability, design, and quality the basis of their practice, Neto and Marques’ ambition is to make long-lasting products. All materials are selected based on their resistance and durability, and the brand offers a lifetime warranty with all their leather products.
But ultimately, it’s the spirit of friendship that is most prominent in their handbags. “We believe that every person has two personal sides, therefore most of our products reflect that versatility as they can be used in many different ways,” they write on their website. “There is no stereotypes neither any rules, that is the freedom to be expressed in a timeless product.”
“Maria/Maleta bags are special because they are the consequence of a true friendship,” Marques added in an interview with Licorne Magazine. “Each bag has a little bit of us. The concept ‘One woman, one bag- two sides to choose’ is basically what Ana and I are; one bag with two personalities. Furthermore, these bags are made with a lot of dedication, love and only with good raw materials. These bags are for carrying a history through life. We want a bag for life and not simply a trendy bag.”
With timeless fashion (rather than trendy fashion) on their mind, the co-founders say they have to be careful with their quality standards and differentiated designs. “These two points are the key factors in achieving timeless fashion: differentiated design and quality,” notes Marques. “I think you can clearly see the differences in the production and the quality of the materials.”
The brand is also in dialogue with the past, continuing the rich handmade tradition which Portugal has come to be known for, especially when it comes to the leather goods industry. “In Portugal there is a lot of history in this kind of production,” says Neto. “So, our production is made in Portugal, in the north near Porto.”

]]>Some fashion brands are more than the sum of their parts. In order for a brand to grow strong, an image is to be aspired to, and one that can hopefully attract a community that can stand behind it. With some 1 million fans on Instagram alone, fashion brand Cult Gaia lives up to its name. “Every great brand is cult-like, uniting like-minded people in their aesthetic ideals,” remarked brand founder and designer Jasmin Larian in a piece published on Anupam Dabral’s website.
Dabral’s aesthetic ideals are indeed ones we can get on board with, her products both trendy and functional, with coveted accessories that have been snatched by celebrities and Instagram it-girls alike.
But if one is to treat Larian’s as, indeed, a cult—then its formation is equally intriguing. For Larian, the brand’s big break was marked by a single product: the Ark bag. Made of bamboo slats and shaped like a half moon, the bag took Instagram by storm and was soon seen swinging gracefully from the arms of A-listers like Chrissy Teigen, Jessica Alba, and Michelle Williams.
According to Larian, the idea behind the bag, which later translated to other iconic pieces, was to create an item that was Objet d’Art whilst still having utility. “In the market, it was always hard for me to find artful pieces that felt special and wearable, with an affordable price point,” said Larian. “I love the idea of keeping special pieces forever.”
Inspiration comes from nature, women, and their meeting point. “Women and nature are endlessly inspiring, so there is a lot in the name,” explained Larian. “The name Gaia comes from the goddess of Mother Earth and the daughter of chaos, the most creative force there is in my opinion,” she noted.
With an emphasis on organic design, the brand aims for the sort a perfect imperfection. “Pieces should be perfectly imperfect and need to be nuanced to be beautiful, like nature, no two things are ever the same,” reads their website. This summer, we know what we’ll be wearing…

]]>The more the merrier is the saying when it comes to piercings. The 2020 accessory trend is all about layering and staking hoops and stud earrings. With all the possibilities of places to pierce on your ear, you can really have fun customizing the look to make it truly yours. Here’s everything you need to know before you make your ear your next masterpiece.
Before you go ahead and get a piercing, consider the anatomy of your ear. A tragus or rook piercing may look super cool on some people, but it may not work for your ear shape. If you want to know if the piercing will work for you, experiment with stickers or cuffs before you get it pierced.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if you want multiple piercing on your ear, it will happen over time. Don’t expect to get a ton of piercings done at once; most places will do two or three holes at a time. Also, the number of places that does piercings has expanded, so you’re not limited to going to Claire’s. Over the past few years, shops that focus only on piercings have popped up throughout the country and you should expect to pay around $35 per piercing.

]]>Suddenly, streets of many world cities have become crowded with see-through bags and everyone’s daily necessities are exposed. The clear bag trend is spreading from New York to Paris and everywhere in between.
But following this trend is not as simple as it sounds. In order to do it right, you actually need to follow some rules instead of just pulling out your old see-through beach bag from the depths of your closet.
Unlike the net bag trend we had last summer, clear bags will actually keep all your possessions safe, though visible to everyone.
All of the major labels have their lines of transparent bags you’re gonna love this summer. Just pick your favorite: from Céline to Prada, there’s something for everyone. This is your chance to grab a trendy designer item at a fraction of a price of, let’s say, a leather handbag. In a world that’s fighting for honesty and transparency, wearing such an item will send a powerful message to the people around you.
