Retro beaded bags are back!

DIG deep into your wardrobe and, with any luck, you’ll find a beaded bag from the Eighties. So deliciously retro, beaded bags are in vogue again. The quirky accessory was bought back into the limelight by British designer Hannah Weiland and her brand Shrimps. Loved by model Alexa Chung and actress Sienna Miller, the Shrimps bag (left, £450, shrimps.co.uk) has inspired High Street brands such as Zara and Topshop — at more affordable prices! Try a brightly coloured design (£26, topshop.com) to keep it simple, or an audacious checked pattern (£39.99, zara.com).
