Chains and visible zip detailing have been a shoe and accessory trend for at least a couple of seasons now, but the newer, softer way it's being used strikes a real contrast with the more 'punky' styles we saw last winter. The zips in this coming seasons' collections are far more about creating an elegant and eye-catching look that works with smart evening wear.
To get the look for less. check out the current range from Accessorize, which includes this real leather chain edged bag in black for £48. A true luxe look is provided by DKNY's chain double flap crossbody bag in quilted neutral leather. We love the perforated crisscross design on the front!
