There are three styles of [clutches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croissant-clutch) all made in conjunction with [Swarovski](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski) which sold out in a hot minute when they appeared online. The new Marchesa purses retail for between $2,275-$3,475, so the quick sellout might be an indication of the return of a healthy economy -- either that or it's a further indication that women really like sparkly things. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 42% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sparkly Exclusivity:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop affordable crystal-studded accessories for a wider market. - **Red Carpet Collaboration:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Partner with high-end fashion brands to create unique accessories for celebrities and events. - **Luxury Resurgence:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create premium accessories that cater to the increasing demand for luxury products. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion Accessories:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Introduce innovative designs and materials to enhance the appeal of fashion accessories. - **Event Planning:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Offer customized accessories as part of event planning services to enhance the overall experience. - **Luxury Retail:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporate technology and personalized services to elevate the luxury retail experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Intricately Jeweled Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/larallan-mary-bag.md) - [Haute Holiday Purse Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emerald-dolce-box-bag.md) - [Crystallized Bottle Bag Charms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peroni.md) - [Luxury Bridal Designer Partnerships](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/luxury-designer-marchesa.md) - [Limited-Edition Crystal Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuart-weitzman-x-swarovski.md) - [Glamorous Party-Ready Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/statement-bags.md) - [Crystal-Studded Grocery Totes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swarovski-and-erewhon.md) - [Luxury Sparkling Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tote-bag-and-juice.md) - [Party-Ready Collectible Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/buzzbagz.md)
