Spring Summer 2026 was about as packed as fashion months come<\/a>. It follows that there are more than a few trends to take stock of, direct from the runway. But among the trends gaining traction, a favourite of the RUSSH<\/em> team’s isn’t just pretty \u2013 but practical, too.\u00a0 Across the runways in New York, London, Milan and Paris, designers reimagined the humble necklace as a place to store the things you actually need. Think wallets, pouches, glasses cases \u2014 all worn around the neck like jewellery with a purpose.<\/p>\n

We first noticed the trend take shape at Michael Kors<\/a>, where wallets in gold leather and snakeskin were tied onto matching cords with a double knot. Some were small and subtle, others oversized and eye-catching. Coach followed suit with mini pouches \u2014 simple shapes in soft leather, big enough for a set of keys or a credit card. Tory Burch blurred the line between jewellery and full-blown handbag, with beaded chains that gave way to tiny shell-shaped coin purses. And at TWP, the idea was even more functional, with oversized wallets and sunglasses slung from the neck, styled like jewellery but worn with intention.<\/p>\n\n
