about it

à la mode™ takes everyday objects and transforms them into fashionable art-you-can-wear accessories for the body and the home. à la mode™ was born out of a creative passion and background in interior design and has grown from limited edition accessories to an imaginatively diverse collection of urban handbags, belts, light switch plates, hairpins, wall art and hair accessories. Each item, regardless of the fashion medium, draws influence from modern architecture, pop culture and the runway. Every piece in the à la mode™ collection is carefully designed to ensure that function indeed meets fashion.

Bag it: Handbags come in a variety of rich upholstered fabrics, chic patterns and urban styles, with signature straps made from automobile seatbelts, striking the perfect balance between trendy and timeless. Durable fabrics, conveniently placed pockets, grommets, snaps, straps and folds are woven into each must-have bag.

Switch it: Handmade light switch plates turn any room up a notch in an array of hip themes and patterns – from a graphic “You are here” design to a pastel on-off “Playing” and “Sleeping” switch for baby’s room. Some plates make a political statement while others simply light up a room in style. Customized plates are particularly popular for kids’ rooms. All switch plates make great gifts that will be remembered with each use. à la mode™ switch plates are decoupaged by hand and designed to make the most of a utilitarian object. Kid tested and parent approved, they can make a statement or simply put a smile on your face.

Ware it: Wares by à la mode™ include bodyware, headware, and houseware. From wall art to cheeky pendants, there is something for everyone!
