Rixo Teams With Dragon Diffusion on Accessories Collaboration

Rixo is upping its accessories game.

This spring, the London-based, vintage-inspired fashion brand is debuting its first stand-alone accessories collaboration of perfect-for-summer — and festival season — belts and handbags with Dragon Diffusion.

“This marks a really exciting moment of growth for our accessories category. At Rixo, we believe accessories are what really make an outfit yours — they bring personality and individuality to a look. This collab is just the beginning of what we hope will be a much bigger story for Rixo accessories,” Orlagh McCloskey, cofounder and creative director, told WWD of the seven-piece, limited-edition collection.

She added that both brands’ shared love of vintage design, timeless style and heritage techniques that are reflected through the assortment of handcrafted, woven leather bags and belts. McCloskey said the styles in particular were already true staples within her wardrobe, which inspired the brands to partner together to create their own specialized, artisanal versions.

“These pieces aren’t trend-driven or overly branded — they’re effortlessly chic, understated but impactful. That’s something we really wanted to champion with this collection: the kind of accessories you can wear every day, that feel you, but are still elevated. Dragon Diffusion brought their unmatched craftsmanship and weaving expertise, and we brought the bold, vintage inspired Rixo spirit. The result is something really special — pieces that are versatile, textured, and have that effortless, thrown-together charm we always strive for,” McCloskey said.

Key styles of the Rixo x Dragon Design collection includie the travel-friendly Amoria handbag, available in green, tan and black colorways; the Lucine basket bag, which comes in classic tan and deep brown hues, and the ‘70s boho-inspired Roxella leather belt in black and tan.

The collection, priced $200 to $520, will be available for preorder starting May 2 on the brand’s e-commerce site, and additionally available for purchase starting May 12 at Rixo’s stores in London and New York City.
