Full Bead Ahead

A bathroom, of all places, was the inspiration behind Muriel Brandolini’s new accessories collection. An interior designer by day, Brandolini was so pleased with a beaded wall treatment she devised for a client’s bathroom that she reworked the motif into handbags for her new accessories collection, which also features embroidered silk scarves. The lineup that hits Barneys New York in November was made in Vietnam, where Brandolini spent her early childhood. “Vietnam has greatly influenced my sense of color and taste,” she says. “Attention to detail [there] is shown even in the presentation of meals.”
