Fashion accessories are the finishing touches we add to our outfits. Like the cherry on top, they complete and enhance our look.
These additions to our outfit are very important for helping us stand out, express our style, and above all set us apart so we look like no one else - in other words, personalize our look.
Major brands such as Vuitton and Gabbana follow fashion trends and offer us luxury accessories adorned with rhinestones and sequins, showcased by movie stars, singers, and other reality TV celebrities such as the very famous Kim Kardashian.
You have most certainly heard someone say: look at her! She really has a wooden look, don't you think?
One thing is certain: by the end of this article, you will no longer be able to say that having a wooden look symbolizes a poorly dressed person - quite the opposite! 😉.
In our Bamboo Home Store boutique, we highlight a few collections. There you will find fashion accessories made of wood, and more specifically bamboo, the star of our site.
Here is a selection of essential and original accessories for women and men. They will add a bohemian, minimalist touch. Eco-conscious designs for a unique, timeless style!

Is the spring-summer season just around the corner? Are the days getting longer and the temperature rising?
Are you feeling the urge to go on holiday and already imagining yourself strolling along the French Riviera by its magnificent golden sandy beaches? Yes ? but what should you wear, ladies?
Here are a few tips from our lovely stylist Karen:
Choosing your clothes well is just as important as choosing the accessories that go with them. Because of the high temperatures, I particularly recommend 2 colours: white and pastel. They go very well together 👌.
Avoid dark colours, which retain heat. In addition, pastel shades will enhance your tan.
Choose loose-fitting clothes made from soft, lightweight materials such as cotton and linen. Avoid jeans.
As for shoes, lace-up gladiator sandals if you choose shorts or a short dress. This type of sandal is very popular with men; they are both glamorous and sexy.
When it comes to accessories: bamboo and rattan hoop earrings will be perfect paired with a straw hat, very on-trend as summer approaches.
Is the reflection of the sun on the Mediterranean Sea burning your eyes? You need a good pair of polarized sunglasses. Stylish and lightweight, bamboo sunglasses are in fashion, paired with a pink sandalwood watch. Now you're ready to head to the beach?
No, not quite! You're still missing one accessory that is essential for you women. You guessed it, I'm talking about the handbag.
I can only recommend this trendy, seasonal tote bag in natural bamboo. Sturdy and original, it is all the rage on French beaches from the Basque Coast to the tip of Monaco.
Now you're finally ready, with a style all your own and perfectly in season ✌
Men's fashion accessories
- Bow ties
- Wooden watches
- Bamboo sunglasses
While there are many fashion accessories for women, we men have certain basic accessories that can help us assert our personality.
Here are a few tips on the subject to help you dress well for all occasions:
Achieving a look that is both casual and smart with simple, timeless accessories is within everyone's reach. The latest fashion trends for men are leaning toward retro-vintage style. Indeed, today, men's style takes inspiration from the style and fashion of the beginning of the last century.
Beards and moustaches are in the spotlight. The rise of Baber shop-style barbershops has been spreading to every city in France for less than 5 years now.
So our advice will have a familiar feel! Think back to the clothing and style of the men posing in old black-and-white photographs.
Beige loafers will replace our usual pair of trainers. Unlike the style of the period, cropped trousers will be in order, provided you wear short socks, more commonly called ankle socks. A lightweight short-sleeved linen polo shirt, enhanced with braces, will give you a look that is unique, vintage, and modern all at once.
As a head covering, a good old beret tilted slightly to the side of your choice, and you'll be all set.
For accessories, nothing beats a wooden bow tie to replace our good old ties.
Note that our Liberty™ bow ties come with a pair of cufflinks, a tartan matching the chosen colour, a wooden flower corsage, a one-size elastic band, and a storage box.
Whether discreet or bold, every man should wear a watch. Here too, we recommend choosing wood, following the example of our Wewood™ watches
To finish, a pair of prescription glasses or sunglasses also made of wood will tie everything together and complete your style.
How can I redo my wardrobe?
Now that you have an overview of eco-responsible fashion accessories, you will probably become interested in clothing of the same kind and ask yourself: how can I build a wardrobe with organic clothing?
Let me recommend an article I wrote on the subject: Bamboo fibre and eco-friendly textiles.
Above all, rely on the 2 labels mentioned at the end of the article 😉.
Indeed, if you want to buy ready-to-wear clothing made from ORGANIC material, that is to your credit. But make sure you carefully check the product's origin.
