Textured accessories – get the expensive look (this bag is embossed leather – no dinosaurs were harmed!)
There is no questions that textured accessories have a gorgeous expensive look. There is just something about those bags and shoes with an embossed leather or even the look of a skin (real or faux) that gives them that next level feeling. Textured accessories are richer, exotic and completely captivating (at least if you are an accessory addict such as myself). They give off that vibe that makes you want to reach out and touch them… Perhaps they take us back to our youthful love of pat the bunny and the various kids books where we learned to understand touch and feel. The incredible thing is that these textured accessories don’t have to be expensive – certainly when dealing with real skins (from fur to snake) prices sky rocket but there is so much technology that you can get that reach out and touch me look from embossed leather and even the faux leather fabrications that are now available. Bare in mind – fabrics such as python are actually illegal in certain places (such as California) so its incredible that designers such as Stella McCartney (who only uses vegan materials) has delivered that stunning texture in animal friendly fabrics… Check out some of my favorite textured accessories that take the bags and shoes we love to another level – and you won’t want to take your eye or hands off them!
