Best of Accessories
Accessories are not merely decorative extras; they are essential elements that bring personality and expression to an outfit or a space. They have the power to completely transform a look, create focal points, and define style. Accessories can tell stories, highlight individuality, and even influence mood. They offer endless opportunities for self-expression and customization, making them far more than just fashion items or decorations—they are a reflection of creativity and identity.
In an increasingly fashion-conscious society, accessories are not just essential details but central elements that seamlessly blend fashion and personality. At PERFORMANCE DAYS Accessories play an important role in the Trend Forum – therefore the Experts-Jury choose every season the best items in this special category. In recent years, significant progress has been made here in terms of sustainability – manufacturers are demonstrating that it is possible to integrate eco-friendly solutions to ensure circularity in this area as well.
Material Section
In the accessories sector, it is clear that it is also possible to work sustainably in terms of laces, zippers, buckles, clips, eyelets and ribbons. Natural rubber, elastane made from recycled polyester and water-based insoles set the tone.

Why material matters …
Brands and suppliers have been quick to switch to lower impact materials, from polyester to rPET notably. But this only shaves off a fraction of a product’s total footprint. The easy solution to making more sustainable goods is not the one that has the most impact. Is it time to reassess raw material choices and priorities?
