Paris Fashion Week’s runways were a showcase of glamorous fashion, but most importantly, unique and fashion-forward accessories. After New York, London and Milan, the fashion industry was bound to set sail to the French capital. But what everyone has failed to mention was that the clothes are not the only wow factor in a fashion show. Granted, they’re a huge part of the equation, but some people find the accessories much more prevalent.

And when the industry’s most renowned experts gather around to watch the most eclectic trends, accessories automatically make it to the top of the “memorable” list. From Chanel’s nature-inspired handbags, to Dior’s trip down memory lane and Elie Saab’s grungy-chic accoutrements, the French runways had a lot to offer.
