Nautical-Themed Bangles

Miansai Creates a New Wave of Bungee Bracelets

— July 8, 2012 — Fashion
The "it" fashion accessory for men and women this season has to be wrist accessories, and these bungee bracelets stand apart from the crowd. The utilitarian bracelets are a part of the Miansai Spring/Summer 2013 collection.

Miansai draws upon the popular nautical theme by adding hardware shaped like anchors and hooks; this hardware is the most distinctive component of the line. The edgy fasteners mark this collection as different and refined in a pool of nautical accessories that are on shelves this season.

Michael Saiger, the founder and creative director of Miansai, grew up in New York and was educated in Miami. He gets his inspiration from the beaches of New England and the antiques of his mother's shop. These influences are clearly seen in the design of his bungee bracelets.
Trend Themes
1. Nautical Theme Accessories - Capturing the essence of maritime in fashion, brands can take inspiration from nautical themes and add different elements to their product lines.
2. Utilitarian Jewelry - Designing accessories that are practical and functional, yet trendy and stylish, can cater to a wide range of consumers.
3. Edgy Fasteners - Experimenting with unique fasteners can create a new category of accessories that attract consumers seeking something different and distinctive.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Accessories - Jewelry and accessory brands can incorporate nautical hardware and utilitarian designs to create a wave of trendy fashion items.
2. Antiques and Vintage Resale - Older pieces with a nautical theme can become popular and valuable in the fashion market, especially when repurposed into modern accessories.
3. Sporting Goods - Innovative fastener designs could be applied to sporting accessories, creating a unique category that combines style and practicality.
