India, Nov. 23 -- Y our favourite go-to accessory just got an accessory of its own! Necklaces have become functional, with pendants replaced by elements such as glasses, coin pouches, and sunglasses covers. This boho-chic trend found its place across the runways of Spring/Summer 26 and Fall/Winter 25 shows in London, Milan and Paris with brands like Tory Burch, Victoria Beckham, Michael Kors, Coach and leading it. Michael Kors, for instance, debuted wallet necklaces in its looks, while Coach's necklaces were designed to resemble abstract stones. Tory Burch offered a chic beaded pouch pendant, and TWP pushed the idea into full utility mode with oversized wallet pendants and a glasses chain. The trend may have started in the West, but it has found its way into Indian wardrobes too. Homegrown brands are interpreting the idea in their own artistic ways; one standout being Neti Neti Studios, known for its use of driftwood, silver, and nature-inspired energy. Explaining how the concept took shape, designer and founder Sonika Bansal says, "While I was working with driftwood and silver, a few pieces naturally evolved into forms that could be worn in multiple ways. When a design intuitively felt like it could be a pendant, a brooch, or even a hair accessory, we allowed it to become that. It was more of a creative flow than a planned concept." They have a few unique multifunctional pieces as well, for example, a driftwood-and-silver brooch that also works as a pendant, and a design that works beautifully as both a hair accessory and a brooch. They even experimented with a driftwood-silver bag that doubles as a statement necklace. Another label exploring the trend is Iwona LUDYGA DESIGN, offering a necklace with a tiny pouch paired with a smooth white stone, equal parts practical and stylish....
