Béis Luggage: The Carry-On Roller and Everything That Rides on It

Béis Luggage: The Carry-On Roller and Everything That Rides on It

Béis luggage started in 2018 with Shay Mitchell's Weekender, first sketched on a cocktail napkin on a plane. I sort Béis luggage by trip, from the carry-on roller to check-in sizes, backpacks and weekenders.

The Strathberry Bag Is Scottish Restraint With A Metal Bar

The Strathberry Bag Is Scottish Restraint With A Metal Bar

Strathberry built its identity around a slim metal bar closure rather than a printed logo, carrying that signature across totes, crossbodies and the more decorative Mosaic line. A hardware-first identifier has aged better than the logo-driven decade that preceded it, which is part of why the house keeps showing up now. This edit moves from the Kite Midi tote down through the Nano and Mosaic sizes, comparing leather against suede for everyday use.

Pink Hokas Are Recovery Shoes That Refuse To Be Beige

Pink Hokas Are Recovery Shoes That Refuse To Be Beige

Pink HOKA running shoes turn maximal cushioning into a colour choice, from soft rose road pairs to brighter builds made for everyday miles. The pink is the fun part, but the foam still has to match the surface and the stride it is actually running on. This edit sorts the road shoes from the trail and stability builds so color never overrides fit.

Canada Goose Jacket: Parkas, Short Puffers and Light Shells

Canada Goose Jacket: Parkas, Short Puffers and Light Shells

Charles & Keith: The Singapore Shoe Shop That Learned to Listen

Charles & Keith began as a Singapore shoe shop and grew from its founders’ customer-led designs into a wardrobe of bags and shoes. I would start with the shoulder bags, then choose a heel, flat, or boot around the day ahead.

Isabel Marant Sneakers Started The Hidden Wedge Trainer Era

Isabel Marant Sneakers Started The Hidden Wedge Trainer Era

Isabel Marant's sneakers made the hidden wedge a street-style signature by hiding the height inside the shoe so it read as a flat trainer from the outside.

This edit compares the Bekett-inspired high tops against the Beth and Bryce flats before you decide how much height you actually want.
