TREND ALERT: Pom Poms & Tassels
With the festival season almost upon us, you can expect to see a whole load of wild and funky trends about. Particularly 'pom poms' and 'tassels' which are featured everywhere at the moment. With many of our own products featuring these jazzy additions, we couldn't help but assemble a style file for you all!
Originating from the French word 'pompon', dating back as far as the 18th century, Hungarian soilders inspired other regiments to embellish the top of their 'shako' hats with metal, feathers and pom poms - the funky little accessory has been around a long time. The same can be said for tassels which is often associated with hideous home decor such as pillows and curtains, however, like the pom pom they have become their own snazzy embellisment. Tassels do not have to be a bad thing!
Spring 2016 saw the runways full of pom poms/tassels and have continued to feature through to Spring/Summer 2017 from luxury designers such as Kate Spade, Alexander McQueen, Stella Jean and more. With such big names showcasing this fun trend it's no wonder the high street has followed, from pom pom sandals to tassel earrings.
There's just something about the quirky trend which makes us think of sandy beaches, sunshine and lazing around in a hammock all day and with Summer here we can't wait to be a part of the crazy pom pom/tassel craze! As an independent brand, Snazzy have their artisans hand-stitching unique versions of the pom pom and creating tassels which have been a lasting, signature look for the brand. Check out our pom pom and tassel pieces at Snazzy.
