Retailers’ Top Accessory Picks from Fall 2016
Macy’s: Bar III’s oxford loafers
“The men’s wear shoe is one of our top must-haves this fall, as the style brings an urban tomboy chic attitude to any outfit and is very on-trend. They are an excellent alternative to heels, as they are equally stylish, polished and sophisticated, but, most importantly, offer comfort that lasts all day.”

“The Harvey Nichols customer looks for standout styles that add a playful twist to her look. Loewe’s animal cross-body handbags continue to be a sell-out, with customers looking to complete their collection with the new animals each season. This fall, shoppers are looking to buy into the punk trend, investing in J.W. Anderson’s Pierce bag and Stella McCartney’s mini Fabella star-studded bag, which is a great entry-level price point, too.”

“The elephant bag has sold out within days of arrival since its launch last season with no slowdown for fall. The unique design can easily turn into a clutch by removing the shoulder strap, and has been popular among clients wanting to inject some fun into a serious wardrobe.”

“Ziggy Stardust-inspired glam rock and opulent irreverence defines the season’s most exciting accessories. Bold gold, shiny metallics, velvet — especially the decorated and adorned that embellish everything — gives a woman’s wardrobe stage-worthy style for the coming fall 2016 season.”

“We are seeing traction with the return of the ballerina. From a retail point of view, it’s exciting to see them come back. Ornamented and animated, it’s fresh and directional. The gold and gingham got an immediate reaction as a transitional shoe from summer to fall, in the Hamptons or the city.”

“Anything with the Saint Laurent signature chain is flying out the door. This quilted version is a bestseller. Chloé’s combination of hardware, color and cross-body ease has made the Faye bag a bestseller. Totes have been bestsellers, especially the Chanel Around the Corner style that has a waiting list.”
