At the height of the slouchy-leather-bag trend in the summer of 2024, Coach released a bag that would coincide with the brand’s new modern era: The Brooklyn Shoulder Bag. I knew it would be an It bag when supermodel Bella Hadid was spotted wearing it multiple times. Well, it went viral after that, as predicted….
If last summer was the season of the mesh flat—delicately sheer, ballet-inspired, and Instagram’s unlikely darling—this summer, fashion’s fixation with transparency has moved beyond the pale. Enter the mesh market tote. Once relegated to errand days or grandma-core aesthetics for the farmers market, this breezy bag is being revived this summer. At the center of…
Summer holiday season is finally in full swing—and if my WhatsApp chats are anything to go by, the only thing more discussed than airport strikes is what everyone’s packing. Whether it’s a low-key Italian island or a long-haul hop to somewhere with guaranteed heat, July and August are peak escape months. And naturally, the collective…
A few months ago, I was invited to view DeMellier’s autumn/winter collection.

As a handbag-obsessed editor, I pay careful attention to the accessories updates that come with a new season. And already, summer 2025 has a new standout bag. There is no denying that the classic raffia basket bag is an icon of the summer months, but as we know, fashion likes to reinvent the classics. Already…
The first memory I have of the Loewe Puzzle bag will stay with me forever. I was a fresh university graduate who, at the tender age of 20, had begun her first-ever, full-time, “big girl” job at one of Sydney’s most prestigious PR firms. The Spanish luxury brand, which was then helmed by fashion designer…
I know what you’re thinking—it’s only July, so why are we talking or even thinking about fall fashion? I understand. However, for me (and I suspect many of you), fall is hands-down the best season to dress for. So every year, right around now, I start to dial back my summer purchases and turn my…
Shopping secondhand is my favorite activity, mostly because I love the thrill of the chase. I’m often perusing reseller sites such as Depop, The RealReal, and eBay to see what’s “new” to shop. When a piece has been owned before, it feels like there’s a story within it. I love the idea of giving a…
