10 Things We Love
Celebrated pieces present themselves in fresh interpretations of classics, exquisite detail and intelligent designs.
1 THE FOREVER PIECE
Inspired by the hypnotising effect of the precious Paraiba tourmaline, Bvlgari serves up an exclusive bag that’s sure to be a family heirloom. Part of the Paraiba Collection, the iconic Serpenti Forever is reimagined in crocodile leather in shades of pastel pink and light blue. Its snakehead closure is unprecedented, featuring a crown of captivating gem-petals that dazzle and delight—a sight to behold indeed. And if that isn’t enough to entice you, the snakehead closure can also be detached and worn as a pendant.
2 THE GREEN ALTERNATIVE
Longchamp’s iconic Le Pliage® is given a sustainable makeover. Introducing Le Pliage® Green. Made with recycled nylon, the new line marks the beginning of the bag’s sustainable evolution—Longchamp aims to transition the entire Le Pliage® collection to this sustainable textile by 2022. From the canvas to the straps and the hardware, each individual component of the bag has been carefully reconsidered to minimise its environmental impact.
3 OF THE BEST … CONVERSATION STARTERS
Ace your outfit-of-the-day with these whimsical and eye-catching heels.
4 THE NEW CONTEMPORARY
Staged at the 16th century fairy-tale castle Château de Chenonceau, Virginie Viard’s Métiers d’art 2020/21 collection overflowed with gothic references from the famed castle. Imbued with romanticism and a modern renaissance spirit, this ethos was not lost on the accessories. The burgundy shopping bag offers a clever play on layering, texture and proportion; its richness heightened even further by the juxtaposition of gleaming gold against the textured backdrop of braided velvet.
5 THE FINISHING TOUCH
Look no further than Bvlgari’s B.zero1 Rock jewellery collection for an avant-garde and fearless finish to your outfit. The ultimate form of selfexpression, its elegant round edge is defined by black ceramic highlights and pavé diamonds.
THE WARDROBE ESSENTIAL
First seen in Loewe’s Autumn/Winter ’21 runway, the Goya bag is set to become a wardrobe staple. Its structured and elegant silhouette is a visual statement of simplicity at its finest, accented with a neat Anagram closure. Available in a variety of sizes and colours, the Goya is the ultimate expression of Loewe’s leather goods heritage and craftsmanship.
7 THE MODERN UPDATE
Leave it to Alessandro Michele to reinvent the classics. First introduced in the ’90s, the iconic Bamboo bag is reimagined once again. Dubbed the Gucci Diana, the current iteration features removable neon leather belts—a nod to the functional bands that maintained the shape of the bamboo handles in the ’90s—and is updated in striking colour palettes. For the classic lady, the black and brown are elegant options. For the daring fashionista, we recommend the poudre light blue and light rose. Style the bag as a tote or a crossbody to suit your look.
8 THE CHIC MONOGRAM
Nothing beats a timeless motif to dress up your casual outfit. Understated yet versatile, Tory Burch’s T monogram shoulder bag will elevate any look in your wardrobe.
If you are obsessed with pouch bags, this one is right up your alley. For Autumn/Winter ’21, Fendi debuts its latest cult-worthy It bag known as the Fendi First. Presented in various textures and materials—from buttery smooth leather to exotic skin; shearling and more—the bag features a tilted Fendi monogram and is available in three sizes.
