Small Handbags for Women: Beaded, Sculpted and Unexpected Shapes

The smallest bags are the ones getting the most attention. Beaded, sculpted and unexpected shapes are replacing the sensible tote for an evening out. This edit is a collection of small bags that work as the statement of the outfit.

SHEVOKE Sunglasses: Frames Worth Trying

SHEVOKE is the Sydney sunglasses label Lisa Hyde started in 2014, with one eye on the 1990s and the other on how a frame actually sits on a face. I like it for glasses that feel familiar without looking borrowed.

Sensi Studio Bags: Handwoven Ecuadorian Straw and Sisal

SENSI STUDIO's Ecuadorian straw and sisal bags bring handwoven resort texture to practical totes and clutches, finished with leather trim for city days.

Janessa Leone Bags

Janessa Leone bought a vintage men's dress hat in Paris, later found the original milliner's surname stitched inside was also Leone, and turned that discovery into her own Los Angeles hat line in 2013. Notes on which hat shapes hold up to daily wear and where the bags and belts fit into that idea.

Completedworks Jewelry

Completedworks turns jewelry and domestic objects into small studies in tension. Anna Jewsbury’s London studio works with sculptural forms, recycled materials and a taste for the strange beauty of things that look almost familiar. The earrings are the entry point, but the vases and glassware keep the story from ending at the jewelry box.

Otra Sunglasses: A Guide to Its Best Frames

Otra is the Byron Bay sunglasses label from the couple who sold Quay Australia and could not stay away from frames. I like it because every shape feels decided on, not borrowed from the trend of the week.

Marla Aaron Jewelry

Marla Aaron left a 25-year advertising career at 40 to recast a climbing carabiner into precious metal, launching her New York lock jewelry line in 2012. Notes on the necklaces, pendants and bracelets built around that working lock, and how to wear a mechanism instead of just a motif.

Nikki Beach Hats: The Styles Worth Packing

Nikki Beach began as a family garden cafe on Miami Beach and grew into a world of beach clubs, resorts and boutiques. I am drawn to that story, so this edit is about the hats, swim and bags that go with a long afternoon outside.

AMANU Shoes

Amanu makes sandals, bags and belts around a simple idea: everyday accessories should carry the trace of the hands that made them. Founded by stylist Anita Patrickson in 2018, the label works with African artisans and grew from made-to-measure sandals into a wider collection of leather and woven pieces. The mood is tactile, resourceful and quietly connected to place.

Marie Lichtenberg Jewelry

Marie Lichtenberg launched her jewelry line in 2019 after twelve years as a fashion editor at French Elle. Her first lockets drew on a chain her mother gave her at fourteen, and forty pieces sold through Instagram in forty-eight hours. The collection still treats sentiment, craft and a little irreverence as design material.

Martha Calvo Jewelry

Miami designer Martha Calvo created her jewelry line in 2006, building on a childhood habit of making necklaces and a love of mixing charms. She self-funded the business and its playful pieces found an audience through personal styling rather than formal restraint. The appeal is in the deliberate clash of color, symbols and shine.

Messika Jewelry

Discover Messika diamond jewelry through clean settings and fluid forms, with Parisian pieces designed for daily wear as well as evening.

Mizuki Jewelry

Mizuki Goltz founded her New York jewelry brand with her husband in 1996 after studying sculpture at the School of Visual Arts. A handmade beaded necklace sold for twenty dollars became an early nudge toward a career built around modern pearls and fluid gold lines. The work balances Japanese and American sensibilities without turning either into a costume.

Coach Bags and Shoes

Coach was founded in New York in 1941 by six artisans working in a Manhattan loft, and it grew under Lillian and Miles Cahn, who drew on the way baseball glove leather softens with wear. Bonnie Cashin became its first lead designer in 1962 and brought in turn-locks and outside pockets, and Stuart Vevers has been Creative Director since 2013. This edit gathers Tabby, Chelsea and Rogue shoulder bags, Sculpted C loafers, Margot slingbacks, clogs, C jewelry and a few pieces of outerwear.

Beading, fringe and real evening weight

Exclusive Menswear: Retailer Capsules, Jackets, Knits and Trousers

Retailer exclusives are back in the conversation, from Colette's old Paris shop to the capsules menswear sites now commission. This edit pulls together jackets, knits, trousers, shoes and small extras from labels with a strong point of view. Read on for the pieces and the makers behind them.

Missoni Home: Zigzag Towels, Robes, Cushions and Throws

Missoni Home takes the family's zigzag knitwear pattern and applies it to towels, robes, cushions and throws. It shows up now because pattern has moved from clothing into the rest of the house, and a strong textile reads as personality rather than decoration. This edit separates the bathroom pieces from the pieces built for a living room.

Markgong Tops: The Best Pieces Right Now

Mark Gong is a New York namesake label built around the GONG GIRL, a woman who is curious, independent and not interested in dressing to please. I like clothes with a sense of humor that still take up space.

Luv Lou Sunglasses: The Best Frames Right Now

Luv Lou is the Sydney sunglasses label sisters Hayley and Jayde Hall started in 2018 from a shared stash of vintage frames. I like how it treats sunglasses as part of the outfit, and this edit is where I would begin.

IRO Jackets: A Parisian Edge for Everyday

IRO is the Paris label of leather, tweed and denim with a little rock and roll still in its pockets. I have been looking at it closely, and this edit is how I would start wearing it.

INKED by Dani Temporary Tattoos: Where to Start

INKED by Dani makes temporary tattoos from Dani Egna's hand-drawn designs, and it started with eyeliner at a college party. I love a tiny, reversible way to try a motif, and this is where I would begin.

Anklets for Women: How to Buy One That Reads as Jewelry

Anklets have a reputation problem and a fit problem, and the second one is fixable. How to buy one that reads as jewellery.

Fall New Arrivals: Rue Sophie, DÔEN and Pamela Munson

New arrivals from eight small labels

Sustainable Mens Clothing: Brands With a Clear Story

Buying better stopped being a slogan and became a measurable habit, with repair counts and material targets now published by names like Patagonia. This edit gathers menswear with a clear story, from John Smedley's 1784 mill to AGOLDE's low-impact denim and organic cotton jackets. Read on for the pieces I would keep for a decade.
