The latest accessory isn't a pair of shoes that equals a week's rent or, for that matter, a handbag that could cover the cost of a family holiday. The A-list has fallen hard for something much more affordable - phone wristlets. Looking to emulate their style? You can buy them for as little as £30 - and they'll dial up the fun factor of any outfit.
Halfway between a strap and bracelet, these strings of colourful beads have been spotted in the hands of Gigi Hadid, Kaia Gerber, Kendall Jenner, Demi Lovato and Vanessa Hudgens, all of whom are paid-up members of the phone wristlet fan club. And theirs all come from one brand: String Ting. The independent business, based in South East London, has become the go-to for beaded wrist straps and, handmade from acrylic, glass and resin beads, there's something to suit all tastes.

Starting at £30, having an embellished strap attached to your phone not only makes it easy to carry around but will boost your mood every time you send a WhatsApp. Not only this, but there are cross-body versions available too - which is a surefire way to make a statement.
Jenner (and Hudgens) both have the brand's Green With Envy Crystal Wristlet, a sparkling strap made from premium-cut crystals, which they both tend to wear with plenty of other jewellery. If neither of those tickle your fancy, there are plenty of others to choose from.
Other brands to look out for include Coconut Lane, Casetify, Burga and Roxanne Assoulin, the latter of whose stackable bracelets are a hit with the maximalist fashion crowd. Not to mention our old favourite marketplace, Etsy. As well as brightening your outlook, the biggest pro is that (with a bit of luck) you'll never lose your phone again.
