Up and coming accessory brand, Hai has collaborated with Whistles to release a new collection for the warmer seasons. The collection features handbags, scrunchies, and slip dresses. 13 styles are available in vibrant colors like lime green and hot pink.
"These are clothes for day and night, but there’s a celebratory, party feeling to them too," Hai's founder and creative director, Tessa Vermeulen, says.
Bestsellers from Hai make a return, including the ‘Vera Bag’ and the ‘Puff Gina Bag,’ both crafted with unique design aspects like checkerboard prints and drawstring closures. Hai is most commonly known for its handbags and other accessories made from silk, and this collection is excellent for adding those kinds of staples to your closet.
