Little Beaded Bag

Little Beaded Bag

Beaded, sequined, crystal and fringe bags that make a small summer outfit feel finished. I sorted them from the easy shoulder bags to the real statement clutches.

A little beaded bag is the finishing move I want when a simple outfit needs texture and sparkle. There are plenty of distinct options here, from Rabanne's gold sequin shoulder bag and Jacquemus's wood-bead Le Bisou to Jimmy Choo's red crystal clutch and Dries Van Noten's sequin-and-bead satin clutch, with a Marni beaded bucket and a SIMONMILLER beaded drop clutch joining them.

Beaded bags beyond the basics

Staud, Alémais and Loewe bring more beaded minis, pouches and clutches into the edit, and Alémais adds its Ace and Limelight barrel bags alongside Veronica Beard's small beaded slouch. Saint Laurent, Zimmermann, Roger Vivier and Judith Leiber go for statement pieces further down, and the Staud and Cult Gaia clutches are the easier ones to wear. Hold each one up against what you actually carry, because beading looks smallest on the page and biggest on the shoulder. If you want to keep browsing, I also put together Clutch, Pouch, Mini Bag.
