A shimmering beaded lobster bag from T.J. Maxx caused a big splash on TikTok several months ago. Decorated with crustaceans, this nautical-inspired accessory quickly became a staple in many It girls' closets. However, a true fashion lover will tell you that while the beaded bag trend has gained popularity recently, it actually has been around for years.
The quirky style can be traced back to Staud’s bedazzled Tommy bag, which first appeared in 2019. Fast forward to 2025, and many other brands have jumped on the beaded bag trend. Zara offers a multi-colored sequined purse guaranteed to lift any night-out look. Mango’s embroidered tote is edged with beaded fringe for added texture. And if you’re looking for a luxe designer bag, check out Loewe’s raffia crossbody made with delicate daisies.
