Wooden Couture

Seeking a more unexpected style, consumers turn to lumber-made fashion

3. Artistic Accessories - Designers are exploring new ways to turn functional accessories like bow ties and wallets into wearable art, appealing to consumers looking for unique, eye-catching pieces. This trend presents an opportunity for designers to push boundaries and create functional art pieces.
