The Timeless Elegance of Black and White

Black and white is a sartorial tradition that transcends time, seamlessly adapting to every era. Its versatility is unmatched, manifesting in an array of patterns, from the simplicity of stripes and checks to the playful whimsy of polka dots, the classic sophistication of houndstooth, the geometric precision of gingham, and the rich heritage of tartan. Each design offers a unique narrative, making black and white the ultimate canvas for fashion creativity.

The stark contrast of black against white exudes an elegance that is both refined and spirited, providing a visual feast that captivates and delights. These patterns serve as a source of endless inspiration for the creation of diverse fashion pieces, each imbued with its own distinct charm and style. Whether it’s clothing, accessories, or footwear, the black and white motif remains a beloved choice for designers and fashion enthusiasts alike, proving that some contrasts are truly timeless.

At Branda, we curate an exquisite selection of fashion accessories to elevate your style. Our collection includes elegant square scarves, trendy bucket hats, versatile totes in an array of sizes, chic clutches, essential toiletry cases, and stylish passport holders.

A lot of beanies and a big scarf

Stacked beanies by knitBranda

Although we didn’t give any notice these days we have been working. We have been preparing a new collection of beanies, with cables, knitted with an irregular yarn which gives them a rough texture. We have made them in different colors and when they will be ready, will come with a little surprise.

Beanies

Almost ready now are the teal, khaki, gray, tweed gray and purple and burgundy.

In progress

The blues, navy and cobalt blue are in progress. The cobalt blue is waiting to be sew and the navy is almost knitted.

Wool

We plan to knit a brown and ochre beanies. We hope so!
