If you’re wearing a flamingo hair clip and have «Out of Office» printed on your cap, you’re on the right track. Especially in the summertime, these accessories really crank up the fun factor.
You’ve probably heard of that ominous «je ne sais quoi». AI defines it as «...it’s used to describe a certain indescribable quality – something special or appealing that you can’t quite put your finger on.»
Need some examples to help you understand? How about one, two, or even fifteen of them? No problem, these brands have captured that certain something. Here you go:
By Staer
Like so many things that are highly visually appealing, By Staer is a Danish brand. From jewellery to foulards to bags, it makes pretty much everything an accessory-craving heart could desire. Even hair claws available in the shape of starfish, curved shells, pink flamingos or tame sharks. The only annoyance? If you wear the clips in your hair as intended, you’ll struggle to enjoy their lovely look.
Wouf
The Spanish creative duo behind Wouf have the right bag for anything that needs to be packed or carried. Thanks to their range, you can get your laptop from A to B in style, find the right waist bag or mobile phone bag for an upcoming festival and a colourful and crazy spacious bag for all your beach accessories. Most Wouf bags are made of terry cloth, mesh or recycled cotton, so they’re also low maintenance and easy to wash.
Bongusta
Did someone say terry cloth? This happens to be right up the street of Danish brand Bongusta. Not only do they apply their expertise to the production of towels and bathrobes, but also to the design of bags in every imaginable shape and colour. Life hack: repurpose your cosy beach bag as a comfy pillow after you’ve gone for a swim.
Burga
The label Burga hails from Lithuania and is committed to making smartphones and all their accessories more beautiful (usually with pretty patterns). Mobile cases, headphone cases, power banks – nothing they do is ordinary. If you want to go all in, you could even look for a beach towel or a water bottle with the same pattern as your Burga phone cover.
Plakativ
Plakativ mainly makes posters. But not only. In addition to prints on posters, they also offer well-curated prints on T-shirts and caps. All designed by Zurich creatives, by the way. Luckily, you can get important messages such as «Out of Office» or «Dogs are my favourite people» out into the world without much effort.
