Where a new shirt or dress can set you apart from the crowd, that hand bag or heel is going to take you that much further. Techniques for upgrading accessories, from a textile point of view, are ever prevalent and coming to you soon. With the want and need to change things up, designers are looking for ways to surprise and specialize. No longer will you bare those simple, black pumps but rock that rubber soled wedge.
