As we head into summer 2025, the handmade world is buzzing with color stories, texture and purposeful creativity. From slow fashion to gifting to home decor, this season’s biggest trends are rooted in comfort, functionality and beauty — all things we value at Beets & Stitches. 

Here’s a look at the top trends right now and how they show up in the latest creations in my shop.  

1. Playful Color Blocking in Accessories

🎨 Trend: Bold, joyful color blocking is back in a big way — particularly in bags and accessories. According to Pinterest Predicts 2025, statement accessories and clashing-but-coordinated hues are trending in fashion and home design.
