Designer Kate Barton has partnered with luxury phone case brand Bandolier on a limited-edition capsule that translates elements from her Spring/Summer 2026 collection into everyday accessories.
Originally debuted on Barton’s runway, the collaboration features three styles inspired by top looks from the collection: Goldie, which references her viral Goldfish Bag; Charlie, inspired by the bubble-stud detailing of the Tessa Mini Bubble Dress, and Kaia, a removable wallet adapted from one of Barton’s sculptural brooches.
“I’ve always been interested in taking familiar objects and making people look at them differently,” Barton, who was a 2024 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund finalist, said. “The phone case felt like a natural extension of the collection because it’s something people carry every day.”
The Kate Barton x Bandolier capsule launches August 4 and will be available exclusively through Bandolierstyle.com and KateBarton.com.
