Accessory
Niche
Written by Yvette N. Coleman
In the world of fashion one can find many pieces
to experiment with in order to bring about one’s
unique personality and style.
We found a collection of handbags that will aid
any fashionista’s quest for the perfect
accessory. Introducing Accessory Niche,
a collection of classic yet modern styles of unique
handbags - - the brainchild of Shara N. Brown,
a native Houstonian. Brown developed the brand
at her home in 2003 and it has since grown into
a full-fledged brand for women’s accessories
including the Niche Essentials
collection of small leather goods and cosmetics
bags.
Brown designs with a keen eye and finds inspiration
from the runways and the different trends found
on the city streets. She incorporates details
of those trends with her personal flair to create
the perfect accessory. Brown adds, “The
Accessory Niche woman appreciates the expansion
of a classic silhouette with incredible functionality
and trendsetting appeal. She carries herself with
a bit of individuality and enjoys a product that
provides longevity.”
Brown’s design efforts landed her as a
finalist in the 2008 Independent Handbag
Designer Awards for her Nubuck Hobo in
the category for Best Handmade Handbag.
She has since branched out her success into creating
affordable luxury items for her customers. Brown
is living her dreams and continues to design and
produce each item with the same passion she had
on day one!
What do you think will be the biggest
trends for 2008?
Bright colors and bold prints continue to reign
as two of the biggest trends of 2008.
What trends are you seriously tired of?
I cannot honestly say that I am tired of any particular
trend. Each and every one, old and new, tends
to become a part of an individual’s style
allowing that individual to express who they really
are. Trends seem to carry neighboring trends into
each new season allowing the old one to still
somehow exist. Consider last year’s leopard
craze leading us right into this year’s
tribal.
Words of wisdom from Shara N. Brown of
Accessory Niche:
As the designer and manufacturer of Accessory
Niche handbags, I spend an enormous amount of
time in the studio. If you are a maker of your
own products, try to find areas where you can
cut down on production time. There’s a whole
world out there waiting to inspire you.
The latest collection from Accessory Niche, The Niche I Series, can be purchased online at accessoryniche.com and ranges from $230 - $415.
