Bilan produits accessoires The - Accessories - Marchés et savoir-faire
Accessories are trying to find their place in a market where the customer is very diverse, often torn between the desire to consume well and the pleasures of seduction. More than ever, there is a need for clarity, coherence and clear positioning.
Beautiful unaltered materials, which do not try to be something they are not, are reassuring.
Innocent, festive, fun and colourful pleasures create joy.
Functional accessories that have proved their worth in the sports world are welcomed with open arms by creators looking for comfort and modernity.

Highlights
Prints for all surfaces:
Inkjets perform miracles. High-precision designs are placed on undulating or embossed surfaces, on volumes, or on all sorts of media: crystals, stone, plastic, glass.
Gentle modernity
Elastic, warm, soft and firm, modern materials are appreciated for their haptic qualities. From labels to jewels, from braid to clasps, we are cast into a world of softness based on silicon, polyurethane, elastane and microfibre.

Folk hippy
This is the hedonistic, joyfully tousled and multicoloured touch of the season. A wind of nonchalant liberty, romantic and fanciful, where hirsute fringes, embroidered braids, charms and pompoms, mohair, feather, beads and enamels all combine.
Tends by product :
Buttons
The choice of buttons remains a very personal matter. Some prefer bejewelled buttons, others only want natural products in natural shades. And it is true that buttons using recycled materials are struggling to renew themselves. The preference is for inclusions under resin. As a general rule, imprecise colours are the stars: mother of pearl splashed with lacquer, marbled or washed-out colours, random inclusions, marl, shady or veined effects.

Embroidery and transfers
The success story of velvet embroidery continues: Wig Korea produces fur coat effects on animal patterns, while Eddy Ricami has patented his so-called “carpet” embroidery, supple and very dense.

For patches, the adventure is still going strong. Hearts, smileys, messages, faces or animals. In glitter, velvet embroidery, padded embroidery, sequins are everywhere and appeal to eternal adolescents.
As a general rule, whether cannetille embroideries, crest patches or panels, ready-to-bond decorations are experiencing growing success.

Functional accessories
High-visibility accessories are all over the fashion world. Sealon has developed silicon strips that better resist the migration of colours, with a range of neon and metallic hues. IRC invents golden reflective items that have everything to attract designers; the same goes for its ultra-luminous black.

For zips, fashion is once again focused on the teeth. Coloured, textures, enamelled, they are not necessarily the same colour as the puller nor the tape.

We note a return to more imposing shapes, and asymmetry continues to be explored.

Pure lines, geometry and regularity: buckles, brooches and bracelets play tribute to perfection, in shiny metal, smooth platings, tubes with regular curves and faultlessly spherical beads that have zero defects.
Crisden : the simplicity and
elegance of purity
Environmentally-friendly jewellery uses natural materials that have undergone as little transformation as possible. However, as the desire for colour continues unabated, we like accessories that are half and half, lacquered or enamelled on one side and natural on the other.

Labels and packaging
Without doubt, modern materials are the most popular: translucent, gelatinous, iridescent, soft and supple, silicon and polyurethane know how to embody modern luxury.

There is a tendency to move away from real leather, in favour of more “friendly” solutions (that are not necessarily natural!) Imitation metal, lighter and softer, are also very popular for quality markings. Colours are classic and ultra-refined between black and white, silver and gold, ecru, grey and beige.

Metallic or plastic accessories
Iridescent or transparent? Plastic unfurls its magic in moulded panels by Publiesse Technique, or inclusions and droplet effects from AT+T. Moiré, hologram effects and convex mirrors catch the eye once again.

Meanwhile, imitation tortoiseshell is proving to be a real trend.
Eyelets have gone upmarket and are more sophisticated: reversible, enamelled, sheathed in leather, coated and mounted. New shapes are being tried out, namely stars and triangles at Piemme Boutons. A variety of colours and materials are available from Sincro. Meanwhile, Sealon offers to simply edge the eyelets with a silicon transfer.

Decorations and textile accessories
The craze of the season is little trinkets to pin all over: pompoms, mini purses, charms, scoubidous, in the wake of the pins, patches and fun decorations from the previous season.

Influenced by sportswear, tapes appear in a knitted version, applied vertically, and are softer and more comfortable. Club stripes are popular and most of the time are enhanced by golden lamé thread.

Plaits, frogging, macramé and other trimmings are reinterpreted in technical materials, cords and sports laces.

Feathers, leather and fur
Materials of animal origin create controversy, particularly fur, and the demand for false fur is becoming significant. Some are also requesting alternatives to leather. Piovese Fashion has anticipated this with materials based on apples or cellulose, and recycled leathers. From a style perspective, the manufacturer is focusing on embossing, whether hot, cold, by laser or high frequency.

Meanwhile, feathers are still popular. Light and foamy for jewellery and accessories, or in contrast, flat, smooth and gleaming for bags and shoes.

Fur pompoms are, nevertheless, still just as irresistible.

There was a lot of success for bag handles. All shapes are permitted but we note an interest for geometric handles, in a baguette or circular style.
Chains play with the irregularity of textured links in a variety of forms from Made 4 Fashion.
Decorated panels for bags continue their trajectory: they are studded, embroidered, incised, bedecked with crystals, embroidered…
Belts appreciate the technical touch, with safety buckles, harness straps and ultrasound assembly modernising this timeless classic of masculine elegance.
