Charms
Charm jewellery deserves a section all of its own and despite making a visual presence in the last few seasons, it is now huge for this summer. It’s all to do with our desire for individuality. Remember those childhood bracelets where each charm was lovingly collected over the years, well now companies are offering the whole package without the wait, but don’t let that stop you from adding your own charms and trinkets to a shop bought version.” Caryn Franklin

Ruby red jade and Onyx Charm Bracelet £69.95 www.clutchandclasp.co.uk

Vintage

“Pearls are another look you’ll see in many magazine shoots. In ‘deep fashion’ territories, they’ve been accessorising tweed suits right through to denim jeans with vintage market finds but the highstreet will have lots on styles on offer too. Pearls are formed when a particle of grit enters the shell of a mollusc and becomes coated with layers of iridescent nacre so they are each individually made. The most convincing dress jewellery copies will have an indiscernible or ‘barely-there’ look or uneven shape to them.” Caryn Franklin from the Clothes Show.

The latest bag of the season is the Limited Edition Burberry Warrior. This handbag has a price tag of £13, 000 and is made from either matte or glossy exotic skins, such as python or alligator. The handbag is of  a slouchy design and is about a foot long. Inside the bag, amongst it’s silk lining, is a gold plate on which the owner’s initials can be engraved. The bag is finished with vintage gold rivets and fastenings. 

Designer handbags are continually proving to be a top seller for fashion brands. This could appear to be due to the high street’s increasing ability to produce good quality copies of the latest catwalk collections, which at times are exceptionally difficult to differentiate from the real thing. Designer handbags are proving more difficult to copy to such a high standard,  due to the expense of leathers/fabrics and trimmings used. Such popularity is also attributing to the 55% increase in the average cost of a designer handbag since 2005. The average cost is now £850. (Daily Mail 10.01.08)
