The Dior Book tote has been around for six years, but it now cheekily references actual book covers in a clever move by creative director Jonathan Anderson. This iteration sports an embroidery of a first edition cover of Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood, with intricate detailing that recreated a cracked glass effect. The large format is perfect for toting around work essentials or even a stack of your favourite paperbacks.
Now this is a statement belt. Featuring multiple adornments shaped and branded with signature CELINE motifs, it makes you want to cinch everything you wear with it, from trench coats to blazers to oversized shirts. Who needs multiple accessories when one does the job with maximum visual impact?
There are only three varieties in Aesop’s line of scented candles. This Aganice-scented candle is the floral-forward one of the trio that’s done with an Aesop twist—mixed with cardamom for a spicy inflection. This particular iteration is done in a limited run with the ceramic vessel painted by Singaporean ceramic artist Jeanette Wee.
Ray-Ban’s Wayfarers are as iconic as they come. This new take is one of the brand’s boldest while keeping things refined. The Wayfarer’s bridge sticks out slightly with an additional layer of acetate in black—a stark contrast against the frame’s clear body. It’s not completely in-your-face but adds an edge to any outfit.
Just a hint of electric blue is enough to give TUMI’s carry-on that extra bold edge. Part of its Alpha series, the carry-on embodies TUMI’s function-first ethos with nifty design considerations such as a front access zip, and a dedicated AirTag slot. And really, the blue gives it so much more style cachet.
We could all do with some help looking our best and Hermès is up to the challenge. Its latest foundation aims to be the answer to finding the balance between high- performance make-up and effective skincare. It’s a luminous matte finish that subtly blurs imperfections and makes your skin look more radiant—all while helping to keep your skin moisturised and regain its elasticity. It’s like your actual skin but better.
Soft, supple and comfortable, Gucci’s latest Stretch sneakers live up to their name. Crafted from soft, stretchy leather that lends them a well-worn feel, the sneakers are heightened with a hand-treated worn-out appearance—freeing you from having to be too precious with material things.
For a Maison that does really well-made footwear, Berluti knows a thing or two about being on the go. This mini interpretation of its iconic Un Jour design is a slim crossbody crafted from Venezia leather that’s then given the Maison’s distinct patina treatment. The result is a bag perfect for living life in the fast lane and where only the essentials matter.
The push for small watches continues with this new version of the Panthère de Cartier. The medium-sized model is draped with diamonds—142 to be exact—along the bracelet with its case set with another 44 brilliant-cut diamonds, and then topped with one on the crown. In other words, it’s fully bling-ed up but at its size, it’s just the right amount for bold style expression.
Small but mighty, these Tiffany HardWear rings are each dusted with diamonds for extra shine. Wear one on its own if you please, or level up by stacking all three together—on one finger or spread across the same hand—to show that you not only know the rules about mixing metals, but also dare to break them.
