Vivienne Westwood Earrings Put The Orb Front And Centre

Vivienne Westwood Earrings Put The Orb Front And Centre

The Vivienne Westwood Bag Wears Its Politics On The Clasp

The Vivienne Westwood Bag Wears Its Politics On The Clasp

A vivienne westwood bag is carrying an orb, and the orb is doing a lot of work. Frame totes, heart-shaped minis, structured handbags and small crossbodies. It is one of the very few accessory logos with an actual political argument behind it.

Kenneth Cole: The Shoe Truck That Made an Entrance

Kenneth Cole: The Shoe Truck That Made an Entrance

Kenneth Cole shoes, from the 1982 trailer-showroom origin to a fall-minded edit of boots, heels, flats, sneakers, bags and coats. I like how Cole's sharp product instincts and public-minded advertising share the same New York nerve.

Joseph Spring 2027: There's No Excess Baggage

Joseph Spring 2027: There's No Excess Baggage

Mario Arena found the language of Joseph in a book about a converted chocolate warehouse and built a lighter, easygoing spring collection around it. Trousers and bags appeared in more than half the looks, and nothing felt weighed down.

Fall Outfits with Hammitt Bags

Fall Outfits with Hammitt Bags

Edmond Goyard signed his canvas in 1892, and the Alpin Mini and Saint Leger backpacks still carry that mark. Check the corners first on any pre-owned piece, including the rarer Cisalpin and Janson shapes.

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.
