Under the pseudonym, Lewis Carroll, English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson wrote a fantasy novel in 1865. The novel was entitled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland or commonly known as Alice in Wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland tells the story of a girl, named Alice. Alice fell into a rabbit hole where she was taken into a fantasy world where anthropomorphic creatures live. This place is popularity known as Wonderland. That’s why the story got its name, Alice in Wonderland.

Since 1865, Alice in Wonderland has been loved by both kids and adults. Even until now, millions are still crazy about Alice. In fact, famous director Tim Burton, directed Alice in Wonderland, which became his highest grossing film ever. The movie spent three weeks as #1 movie in the United States and Canada. Internationally, it’s currently the highest grossing film of all time. It currently ranks as the fifth largest grossing film of all time and it it also only the sixth film ever to cross the $1 billion mark in worldwide grosses.

But Alice in Wonderland, did not remain in Dodgon’s novel nor in Burton’s film. Alice in Wonderland goes beyond novel and film because Alice is now on bags, tees, accessories and more. Here are four brands that start have joined in the Alice in Wonderland mania:

(a) Loungefly

Loungefly is owned by Trevor Schultz and he employs a staff of approximately 10 to 19. Being a small team of people, they love their work. They work hard to design and sell unique tee shirts and accessories. Loungefly products are trendy and affordable, so you can easily purchase anything you like.

Loungefly‘s skull prints are just too cute and adorable, making it more popular than ever. Aside from these popular skull prints, you can also choose from a variety of licensed accessories that include Disney, Hello Kitty, Skelanimals, and Tootsie. They offer various products such as: tote bags, lunch boxes, earrings, key cap, necklace, wallet, tees, socks, gifts and novelty and more. Aside from the above-mentioned licensed accessories, Loungefly has also joined in the Alice in Wonderland craze. They have Alice in Wonderland themed tote bags, key caps, lunch boxes, earring pack, key caps, wallet and necklace.

Loungefly started in a small warehouse in 1998 and is based on Southern California. It has become a leading  and modern accessory company and will continue to become even better and bigger. There’s no stopping for Schultz and his team!

(b) Disney Couture Jewelry

As Alice Kingsley play the role of Alice in the 2010 movie, Alice in Wonderland, she looks gorgeous with her Disney Couture sparrow necklace.

For twenty-five years, Tom Binns, designed, manufactured and distributed jewelries. Through his creativity and talent, he has created a number of couture collections which are a combination of his inspirations from the early twentieth century Dada movement, anarchy,  and elegance.

His handcrafted vintage collections are sold at prices ranging from $1,000-50,000. Tom Binns’ pieces range from precious and non-precious materials, such as sea glass and reconstituted costume jewelery.

Tom Binns has also brought an addition to his jewelry collection, such as his exclusive Alice in wonderland Collection for Disney Couture Jewelry. As Disney reinvents the classic tale of Alice in Wonderland, Tom Binns collaborated with Disney and has brought a fashion-forward collection for his fans. All the more, its something that Alice in Wonderland fans should not miss, especially that its made by a Council of Fashion Designers of America winner, Tom Binns!

Incorporating elements such as photo inlay, lace accents and Swarovski crystals, Tom Binns’ Alice in Wonderland collection are influenced by the tale’s principal characters like Alice, the Mad Hatter, the Red Queen, the White Queen and the White Rabbit. To make the Alice in Wonderland collection a huge success, Tom Binns spent time to research about the story. “I read the book and some articles on the psychology of the story,” Binns explained, “and what Alice means as a character to adults and what she means as a character to children. It is totally different as a child’s imagination is something us adults used to have, but have forgotten.” “The story is full of very iconic images,” he went on, “so it wasn’t difficult to find symbols that represent the stories – like the Mad Hatter’s top hat and the watch, as time is a big reference point for the story. In fact, every scene in the book has something iconic that would represent it from start to finish.”

If you haven’t heard about Tom Binns’ elegant designs, here’s an interesting fact, First Lady Michelle Obama wears his designs. Alice Kingsley, who played the character of Alice (in the movie, Alice in Wonderland) wore Disney Alice In Wonderland Sparrow Necklace in the movie.
