Fashion loves an animal, but a dog is for life principle doesn’t hold firm here, this is fashion and as Oscar Wilde once said, ‘Fashion is made to be unfashionable’, quite literally.
One season we saw flamingos, the next we saw lamas, but now it’s the time of our cute furry little friend the bee, which I first noticed on Gucci trainers. Since then others have joined in with the fashion’s bee colony, Dolce & Gabbana has bees on suits and Bally has put bees on handbags.
We have been busy little bees ourselves at PERIDOT and stock a wide variety of products with a bee motif to include, cosmetic bags, purses, jugs, headbands, bookmarks, suncatchers and cushions in various different shapes and colours.
Type ‘Bee’ in our search engine on our website and 31 bee related products are currently visible, with more to follow soon.
We are not sure how long this trend will last before it buzzes off once again, but as of now we do love our bees.
To end with a fun fact, did you know the iconic Ritz hotel, London has installed three colonies of bees on top of the roof of the hotel.
We are wondering whether this would be a step too far for the local residents if we did the same in our retail shops.
