In every house exists the forbidden drawer. Out of sight, out of mind and full of "junk". But this year, that junk is a buried treasure that found its way down the runway this fall of 2025. So grab your tools, reclaim those items and create something all new.
Fall 2025 runway included more than upcycled, everyday items like paperclips, keys, safety pins and more. You could find fringe, layers, pearls, cameos and so much more, but we're going to focus on a select few for this curated theme --- Gilded Bohemian. This Vintaj x Lima Beads collab features chunky chain, pearls (of course), fringe earrings, romantic elements with a juxtaposition of strong elements like our reclaimed items and layers, layers, layers to create this eclectic, unique theme. Dive in with us in this article to find ways to apply these trends to your unique design style. Keep things fresh and new without departing from what makes YOUR designs YOU.
Fringe never goes out of style—especially when it’s infused with texture and movement. This design ties supple leather with lengths of chain, allowing faceted citrine beads to shimmer between each link. Whether wrapped around your wrist or worn as a statement necklace, it’s the perfect balance of rustic charm and golden glamour.
Elements that mimic found treasures turn into something extraordinary. Vintage buttons, tiny locks, and leaf charms mingle with luminous pearls and golden citrine in this eclectic necklace. Each element tells its own story, combining to create a wearable collage of nostalgia and elegance.
A nod to the “forbidden drawer” aesthetic, this look reclaims forgotten keys and old coins, letting them drip gracefully from layers of chain. Accents of pearl, citrine, and blue-green tourmaline bring refined contrast to the rugged relics, creating a style that feels both storied and sophisticated.
Delicate yet daring, these earrings transform classic filigree with cascading chain fringe. The result is a perfectly balanced pair—feminine, textural, and endlessly wearable. Try mixing metals or varying chain lengths for even more movement and personality.
Long, golden chain fringe makes a dramatic statement, swaying gracefully with every turn. Suspended from luminous blue-green tourmaline beads, these earrings embody the Gilded Bohemian spirit—opulent yet earthy, luxurious yet free-spirited.
Wrap yourself in layers of texture. Smooth leather intertwines with rosary-style blue-green tourmaline segments, finished with a reclaimed key charm for a hint of intrigue. It’s a piece that feels both grounded and gilded—perfect for stacking or wearing solo.
