If Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku army were still around today, we’re sure they would covet Niels Peeraer’s latest collection. Featuring a perfect mix of gothic Lolita meets fashion culture, the Belgian designer crafts beautifully designed leather accessories that appeal to even those with the most minimal of style. 

With the mantra "There is no limit to cuteness,” it’s no wonder the brand has a cult following. The Niels Peeraer girl is a master in mixing and matching these luxe bags and cuffs with everything from lacy, black gowns and knee-high socks to platform sneakers. It's an elevated take on schoolgirl-chic. And despite the cutesy appeal, Peeraer’s sculptural visors and necklaces almost resemble pieces of art.

Furthermore, the designer has a serious background in leather working. For his 2011 Master’s collection at The Royal Fashion Academy in Antwerp, he collaborated with Delavaux, the oldest leather house in the world, founded in Belgium in 1820. From there, he started what we now know as his own label, worldwide.

Peeraer’s pieces show the recurring theme of contrast between feminine and masculine identity. The stiff, rough leather work looks striking when shaped into winding, blooming bows. With all that girlishness, there’s an uncomfortable sense of innocence buried in these luxury pieces—and we love that.
