THESE 18 BEADED BEAUTIES ARE TOO GOOD TO MISS OUT ON THIS SUMMER

The beaded bag trend has been bubbling away for a couple of years now, but just in case you hadn’t noticed, they have well and truly hit the main stage this summer. Beaded bags are adorning the arms of the most stylish festival-goers, street style influencers, and best-dressed wedding guests alike. Whether glass, wooden, or rainbow-hued, beaded arm candy is a great way to add a subtle (or not-so-subtle) touch of razzle-dazzle to even the simplest of outfits. A beautifully beaded bag has the ability to add interest to your everyday get-ups, and then sashay seamlessly into the evening. Yes, these bad boys are far more versatile than you might first think. Plus they are pretty, oh so pretty. If you need any more convincing, the following 17 examples of beaded perfection speak for themselves. Don’t forget to raid your local charity, vintage, and online resale sites for undiscovered secondhand gems too.
