Beaded bags are having a moment on social media, and if you still haven’t fallen in love with them – now’s the time! Pérolas & Amor, the handbag brand from Brazil, is putting their own twist on this fashion craze and creating unique bags that will make you feel like you’re seeing pixels in real life.
Based in Rio de Janeiro, Pérolas & Amor sells exclusive bead bags and accessories, and the name of this brand perfectly captures its spirit since it can be translated as Pearls & Love. They use all sorts of different beads to bring their bags to life, and they became a huge sensation on social media thanks to their signature designs made from retro plastic beads.
Their nostalgic look gives Pérolas & Amor’s bags a unique vibe, making it seem like they’ve been made of countless pixels. A lot of attention goes into the making of each bag, and it takes hundreds of plastic beads to bring them to life.
In addition to their pixelated look, there’s another thing that Pérolas & Amor’s bags have in common. Many of them are inspired by popular culture and pay homage to the popular cartoons we all know and love, from Hello Kitty and SpongeBob SquarePants to Minions and Lilo & Stitch.
