Label Text:Pink accessories have played an important part in women’s fashion. Historically, hats were an essential element of fashion, indicating class status as well as personal taste. Today, pink shoes or handbags are likely to be more significant. To see through rose-colored glasses is a common metaphor, and this style always has its fans.
