Piaget Jewelry
Piaget brings watchmaking precision and high jewelry drama into the same conversation. Georges-Édouard Piaget founded the maison in 1874 in the Swiss Jura, and the house later became known for ultra-thin movements alongside gem-set watches and jewelry. The current pieces still make that technical history feel polished rather than nostalgic.
Pomellato Jewelry: Color, Scale and Milanese Swagger
Pomellato treats fine jewelry like a wardrobe, with color, scale, and a little Milanese swagger built into every piece. Founded in Milan by Pino Rabolini in 1967, the house introduced the idea of prêt-à-porter jewelry and made colored stones feel modern rather than ceremonial. The Nudo and Iconica families still carry that direct, tactile point of view.
Lucy Delius Jewelry
Lucy Delius makes fine jewelry that treats the past as a source of attitude rather than a museum display. Launched in 2022 after years in the jewelry industry, the London label draws on Victorian silhouettes, pocket-watch chains and the designer’s family love of collected pieces. Gold, diamonds, rubies, emeralds and pearls give the references enough weight to feel personal from the first wear.
Repossi Jewelry
Repossi treats fine jewelry as a piece of modern architecture worn on the body. Founded in Turin in 1957 by Costantino Repossi, the family house later moved into a more radical language under Gaia Repossi, whose work draws on art, architecture, and the idea of diamonds floating on skin. The result is precise, graphic, and made to be noticed up close.
Roxanne First Jewelry
Roxanne First makes fine jewelry feel personal, playful, and easy to wear before it becomes formal. South Africa-born, London-based founder Roxanne First launched her namesake studio in 2018 after a decade in luxury marketing and a growing side practice designing engagement rings for friends. Diamonds, colored stones, and charming shapes give the collection its direct emotional pull.
RUE de VERNEUIL Bags
RUE de VERNEUIL treats the everyday tote as a small piece of Parisian architecture. Founded in 2014 by Vincent Ribat, a former interior designer, the label draws on the American tool bag and the quiet order of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Its appeal is practical rather than performative, with sturdy textiles, leather trim and shapes that make room for actual life.
Ruslan Baginskiy
Ruslan Baginskiy builds a wardrobe around the part most people remember last: the headwear. Founded in Lviv in 2015 after the designer worked as a stylist, the label grew from couture pieces made for photo shoots into a Kyiv-based accessories house. Straw, embroidery and a slightly theatrical sense of proportion make these hats feel rooted in craft without becoming museum pieces.
Susan Caplan Vintage Jewelry
Susan Caplan Vintage brings Chanel signatures, faux pearls, and gold-plated jewellery together in a polished edit with a sense of design history.
Thom Browne
Thom Browne built a new uniform from the old ingredients of American tailoring. He began in New York’s West Village in 2001 with five made-to-measure suits, then made shrunken proportions, cropped trousers and red-white-blue grosgrain part of a very recognizable vocabulary. The clothes are disciplined, but the humor is always close to the surface.
Smythson: Frank Smythson's London Paper and Leather Goods
Frank Smythson opened the first Smythson boutique in London in 1887, and the brand still makes everyday paper and leather goods. I look at the diaries and small leather objects worth keeping.
TOHUM
Jewelry that feels found rather than manufactured, even when the finish is polished. Verda Alaton founded the Istanbul label after years of studying anthropology, collecting tribal art and traveling through Asia and Africa, turning shells, stones and metal into expressive talismans. The pieces are bold in shape but still close to the body, which is where their natural materials make the most sense.
Sonia Petroff Jewelry
Sonia Petroff’s accessories turn the belt and jewel into small works of theater. The original designer built a career across Rome, Valentino, Nina Ricci and Balmain, and today Maria Leoni-Sceti draws from an archive of more than 800 pieces to keep that exuberant language in motion. Enamel, resin, leather and gold-tone metal bring a distinctly playful kind of glamour.
Valesque Bags: Slim Handles, Satin and Velvet Shoulder Bags
Valesque bags are built around slim handles and concealed hardware instead of visible logos, in satin, velvet and nylon. The Berlin label was founded in 2023 by Valeska Dütsch and Sophie Berianidze, and I go through its shoulder bags and totes.
Fortune Croissant Bag: The Lemaire Bag Shaped Like Its Name
The Lemaire Fortune Croissant bag is a curved, hardware-light shoulder bag in leather or wool felt, with just a strap and a zip. I go through how the two materials behave, the mini and medium sizes, and the version I would own.
YSL Earrings Put The Monogram At Ear Level
YSL earrings repeat one graphic, the Cassandre monogram, across studs, hoops, drops and threaders. I look at how scale and movement change the same mark at ear level.
The Top Handle Bag Wants a Place in the Day
A concise look at the top handle bag as a focal point, balanced by coats and shoes that keep the wider wardrobe in view.
Restyle Old Clothes With Vintage Accessories
Vintage accessories restyle old clothes: clip-on earrings, silk scarves and belts are the cheapest way to make an outfit feel new. I show how I use each one on clothes I already own.
Bold Earrings for Fall, and How to Wear Them
Big earrings are back in rotation, and the small huggie is taking a break. These groups cover sculptural gold, dramatic drops, pearls and stones, and statement hoops, with the clothes that let them stand out. Keep the neckline simple and the earrings do the rest.
The Fall 2026 Trend Forecast, Four Ways In
Four ideas keep coming up in the fall 2026 forecast: Art Deco glamour, an updated take on ladylike dressing, body-skimming shapes and pieces with a sense of humour. This edit gives each idea its own outfit, built from pieces that work on their own as well as together. Start with the one that sounds most like you and leave the rest.
Art Deco Jewelry Is Having a Revival
Art Deco jewelry is back, with onyx, jade, mother of pearl, spirals and fan shapes turning up across new collections. This edit covers the pieces themselves, from carved stone necklaces to geometric gold, and the dresses and bags to wear with them. Most of it works just as well with a sweater as with a gown.
Tiny Bags, Pouches and Slim Wallets for Fall
Small bags are having a moment again, and not just for evenings. These picks cover tiny top handles, pouches and clutches, small shoulder bags and crossbodies, all sized for a phone, a card case and a lipstick. Each one can go from daytime errands to dinner without looking out of place.
Suede Handbags for Fall, Four Shapes
Suede is the fall bag fabric, soft to the touch and richer in colour than smooth leather. These picks cover four shapes: slouchy totes, structured top handles, evening clutches and shoulder bags. Chocolate brown and sandy beige are the colours to look for, though there are brighter options too.
Work Totes and Top Handles for the Office
A good work bag has to hold a laptop, a lunch and a change of shoes, and still look polished in a meeting. These picks cover structured totes, ladylike top handles, canvas and nylon options and large totes built for a full day. Each one is sized for a real workday.
Croc Bags in Style 2026: Fall's Five Bag Shapes
Croc bags are in style for fall 2026, one of five clear shapes with big carryalls, east-west styles, slouchy top handles and evening clutches. I give each shape its own section, from croc-effect leather to clutches.
