Alessandra Rich Sequins and Crystal: Tweed, Knits, Buttons

Alessandra Rich uses sequins the way other houses use a print: woven into tweed, knitted into mohair and wool, embroidered over lace, and sold as a cardigan, a jacket, a skirt, a mini and a gown. Crystal is the hardware, on buttons, buckles and hotfix. Luxury Handbags has 40 Alessandra Rich sequin pieces from $680 to $8,780, and this guide sorts them by how the sequin is applied, which decides how the piece wears and how it is cared for.

Key facts

  • Count and price: 40 sequin pieces, $680 to $8,780, median $2,310.
  • Three techniques: sequins caught in a tweed weave; sequins knitted into mohair and wool; sequins embroidered over lace. Crystal hotfix on lace and lurex knits; crystal and gold-tone buttons on tweed.
  • Cheapest: a sequin cardigan and sequin tops from $680.
  • Most expensive: the sequin-embroidered lace evening dress.
  • Care: dry clean only, turned inside out in a garment bag; never iron a sequin.

Sequin tweed

Sequins woven into the boucle so the cloth keeps its body: jackets in black, grey and white, a coat, a bomber, skirts (mini, midi, long, pleated), trousers, a bralette and dresses. The evening version of the house tweed and the largest sequin group. The tweed guide pairs the jackets and skirts.

Sequin knits

A sequin cardigan, a wool sequin knit cardigan, mohair sequin cable knits, a lurex jumper with metal hotfix, a sequin knit crop top, a sequin knit midi dress and shorts. The sequin cardigan over a black slip is the cheapest evening outfit the house makes. The knitwear guide.

Sequin-embroidered lace

The top of the range: sequins embroidered over Chantilly and stretch lace in a red high-neck evening dress, a lavender slip with a ruffle, a lace mini skirt and the sequin-embroidered lace gown. The lace guide.

Crystal buttons, buckles and hotfix

The house’s hardware. Crystal and gold-tone buttons on the tweed jackets and the polka-dot plackets (jewelled buttons on the wool crepe midis), crystal buckles on the silk jacquard minis, crystal hotfix on the stretch lace tops and skirts and the lurex knits. The Princess of Wales’s 2022 Jubilee dress had its crystal shoulder and buckle replaced with plain fabric, which tells you how much of the house’s decoration is crystal.

Styling sequins

One sequin piece per outfit. A sequin cardigan over a plain black dress; a sequin tweed jacket over a black trouser; a sequin skirt with a plain knit. The house’s red satin mule under any of them. No sequin with a print.
