To my surprise, costume, semi-precious, and fine jewellery has been selling well during the pandemic. That might be why there are ten pages of jewellery offerings at this year’s NAS. There are some gorgeous items. Of course, there are also some great bags.
Jewellery
There are no descriptions in this collection because the items speak for themselves. Click on the links to see the jewellery on the model for a better visual. Shout outs to brands like John Hardy, Frieda Rothman, Monica Vinader, Jenny Bird, and Kendra Scott. Colourful jewellery is on trend, so you’ll see that coming through. I’m liking the assortment of dainty and chunkier pieces so that there is something for everyone. There are excellent Apple watch straps too.
Personally, I’m not a big jewellery person, and stick to a few custom-made white pearl jewellery pieces that I wear daily. I did get a white silicone and rose gold Michelle watch strap for my rose gold Apple watch, and absolutely LOVE it. It looks dressy and chic, to my eye. The straps come with attachments for both sizes of Apple watch so look for the attachments in the box. This was my first NAS purchase. I had the strap sized in the store and I wore it right away. Go Team Wear.
Handbags and a Scarf
Here are my favourite bags from the sale, and a single Kate Spade scarf that works very well with the bag alongside it.
You can see the items alongside my descriptions on the collection page.
- Kate Spade New York all day gingham print large tote: A dressy and classic tote in a fun gingham. The grey looks a bit blue. The shoulder straps are narrow but don't seem to cut into the shoulder. The tote has a matching scarf in a larger gingham. Comes in soft pink.
- Kate Spade New York gingham oblong scarf: A luxe classic that comes in pink. Gorgeous fabric.
- Herschel Supply Co. City Mid Volume Canvas Backpack: Floral Backpack Fabness. Lightweight and festive. The front strap comes with an easy magnetic closure so there is no need to undo the buckle.
- COACH Pebbled Leather Crossbody Bag: Best small leather handbag at the NAS and comes in three colours if you like gold hardware. Good pocket organization. Impeccable quailty.
- Zella Lightweight Excursion Backpack: Very easy lightweight back pack for any casual setting.
- Aimee Kestenberg No BS Leather Backpack: A handy bag that you can clutch, hold by the handle, wear with a shoulder strap, and use as a back pack. For Team Forest Green. Unique colour.
- COACH Polished Pebble Leather Shoulder Bag: Best big bag at the NAS if you like blue and gold hardware. Lies flat against the body. Impeccable and polished. Comes in neutrals.
- AllSaints Eve Leather Crossbody Bag: Some of my clients loved the small and less structured vibe of this bag with silver hardware. Well made and darling. Comes in blush pink.
