Fashion Accessory Store Categories
Accessory store categories, page 1 of 3
Apparel Search separates the primary fashion accessory categories into individual store sections, and this is the first of the three category pages that index them. The categories on this page run from bag stores, belt stores and bridal accessory stores through bra cases, cape stores, cloak stores, cufflink stores and cummerbund stores to earmuff stores, each category page carrying its own retailers, definitions and buying guidance. Page 2 continues with evening wraps, fans, foulards, gloves, hair bows, jewelry and mittens, and page 3 finishes the alphabet with pageant sashes, pareos, pocket squares, ponchos, purses, shawls, scarves, stoles, sunglasses, ties, umbrellas, vests, wallets and watches. The main fashion accessory store pages, which list stores across all categories together, are the companion way in: browse by category when the accessory is known, browse the store pages when it is not. The category links appear high on this page, directly below this introduction, because an index page exists to be used, not read top to bottom.

Apparel Search has separated a few of the primary fashion accessory categories into individual sections for your convenience. In addition to using the categories listed below, we suggest you also browse the primary fashion accessory store pages for additional resources.
Thank you for using the Apparel Search website.
Using the Category Index
Start with the accessory, then narrow. Each category page distinguishes the kinds of retailer that sell the item, specialists, department stores, boutiques and online sellers, and most category pages link the accessory's definition in the fashion terms section for shoppers who want the terminology settled before they buy. Categories with heavy overlap, shawls, scarves and stoles, or bags, handbags and purses, cross-link each other so a reader can move sideways without returning to this index.
Stores appear in the categories for everything they genuinely sell, so a leather goods store may be listed under bags, wallets and leather accessories at once. That is deliberate: the index mirrors how the stores themselves describe their ranges.
Common Questions
How are the accessory store categories organized?
Alphabetically by accessory, across three pages. This first page covers bags through earmuffs. The second covers evening wraps through neckerchiefs, and the third covers pageant sashes through watches. Each category link leads to that accessory's own store page in this directory, with its retailers and its buying notes. The full fashion accessory store list, organized by store rather than by accessory, runs on the fashion accessories pages, which are linked from every category page.
What is the difference between a category page and a store page?
Direction of browsing. A category page like this one indexes types of accessory and sends the reader to the page for each type. A store page lists individual retailers with their descriptions, addresses and specialties, organized around a single accessory or across the whole accessory range. A shopper who knows the accessory starts here; a shopper who wants to browse retailers starts on the fashion accessory store pages. Both routes end at the same listings.
Which accessories have their own store categories?
The full accessory alphabet: bags, belts, bridal accessories, bra cases, capes, cloaks, cufflinks, cummerbunds, earmuffs, evening wraps, fans, foulards, gardening gloves, gloves, hair bows, handbags, hats, jewelry, leather accessories, mittens, neckerchiefs, pageant sashes, pareos, pocket squares, ponchos, purses, reflective armbands, shawls, scarves, stoles, sunglasses, suspenders, ties, tiaras, umbrellas, vests, wallets and watches. If an accessory is carried on the body or with clothing, it is likely to have a category and a page of its own in this directory.
