 Take a journey with Accessorize this Spring Summer, with a collection of trend inspired global themes. Launching with inspiration from the dainty country gardens of England, the collections then traverse through the
chic Amalfi Coast and the souks of Morocco, delve into the mystical Middle East, ride the Indian hippy trail and take on the quirkiness of Japanese subculture. Time to get stylishly jet set!
PRIMROSE
Pretty urban gardens bursting with blooms and sketchbook bugs inspire the Primrose collection. The botanical theme brings a flurry of arty butterflies, which leave behind their girly tones of previous seasons. They are complemented with novelty gardening charms including watering cans, wellington boots and flower pots. A ladylike frames bag is given a modern twist with printed blooms of flowers; pretty fabrics combine with utilitarian chain on statement necklaces and cocktail rings hold on to their oversized status and look fresh in summery corals.
PEONY
With a nod to Japanese subculture and the trend of ‘Mori Garu’ meaning ‘forest girl’, the Peony Collection is young and quirky with a vintage twist. Inspired by secret woodland parties in a fantasy world, the look is pretty and conversational. A classic straw boater is given a cutesy edge with a polka dot trim and kitsch brooches provide instant vintage charm. Ditsy prints remain key and look fresh on the latest rucksack shapes.
SAHARA
In a collection inspired by nomadic travellers, Sahara nods to Middle Eastern promise with an ethnic yet sophisticated edge. Grown-up gold and soft copper jewellery keeps the collection looking refined, whilst scarves featuring traditional North African and Arabic tile patterns deliver a rustic cultural vibe. A rich spiciness reaches out to more muted tones in the colour direction for this story. Metallics meet natural vegetable dyed colours and hints of pale corals are stirred into the travelling mix. Subtle feminine studding and key fringing is seen on day bags. Evening clutches go glam with puma shaped clasps and shell and star shaped box styles.
 BAZAAR
Inspired by the mystical souks of Marrakesh, Bazaar adopts the look of global travellers and combines it with chic European styling. Pick up silk ikat and paisley print scarves and dip dye jersey snood in marketplace style. Bargain over unique metal and fabric mixed bangles and eclectic patchwork bags. The feeling of finding something unique from a faraway land is captured here. The key colours boasted in Bazaar are inky purples, easy on the eye mauves and indigo shots. Accents of chocolate, olive and jade pleasantly complement hints of and oatmeal. Silver jewellery makes a welcome return in the form of exaggerated hooped chandelier earrings, a key coin drop neck chain and giant modern stud effect cuff. Colour is also vital, with semi-precious stones causing striking breaks to the pewter baseline. Aqua, indigo, garnet and amethyst stones look vivid and stimulating on oversized cocktail rings and gem drop earrings.
AMALFI
A retro romance takes place in Amalfi. A sense of poolside glamour from the 50s and 60s is mixed with 70s esque colours of tortoiseshell, amber and gold. Putting their stamp on this look are raffia bags, souvenir printed scarves and semi precious stone jewellery. Vintage summer styling is seen with tortoiseshell jewellery, catseye sunglasses and ladylike raffia bags.
JAIPUR
Be inspired by the 70s hippy trail and look to Jaipur for a relaxed festival style. Neutrals and washed-out sorbet shades are contrasted with pops of colour. Indian and Persian influences are seen in block printing, tye dying and mukesh and zardozi embellishment. The oversized Lotus Flower clutch incorporates intricate beading work against the modern envelope shape.
BEACH
