Bravo Zula

WHAT: DANNIJO Zula trade beads

WHY: The educational explanation? These bright beads (formerly known as “trade” beads) have a rich history: they used to be made in Europe and used in African trades, popular because glassmaking was uncommon in 1800s Africa. The fashion-centric explanation? Because even when a white tee and cutoff shorts is all you can manage this summer, these beads will punch you up into seriously chic territory.

PRICE: $595 for three strands

AVAILABLE: www.dannijo.com
