The Row Bags and Shoes

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen founded The Row in New York in 2006, after Ashley spent a year trying to design an ideal, no-logo white T-shirt and the pair built it into a seven-piece debut collection that Barneys bought in full. They named it after Savile Row and, for its first three years, gave no interviews about it at all, betting the clothes could carry the label without their names on it.

Ole Lynggaard Earrings: 18-Karat Gold Pieces Shaped by Nature

Ole Lynggaard earrings come in 18-karat gold, from Snakes with turquoise to Boho with quartz and tourmaline. The Copenhagen house began in a small Hellerup workshop in 1963, and I look at how nature shapes each piece.

Ileana Makri Jewelry

Ileana Makri launched her eponymous jewelry line in 1998 after studying design at the Gemological Institute of America and returning to the gemstone language she had loved since childhood. Her Athens-based work is made with local artisans and balances fine materials with a sense of movement, from cord and beads to diamonds, enamel and colored stones. The collection reads like modern talismans rather than a parade of formal jewelry.

Le Monde Béryl Shoes

Le Monde Béryl makes shoes for the long way around, with ballet flats, Mary Janes, mules and boots that treat comfort as a design problem rather than a compromise. Founded in 2016 by Lily Atherton Hanbury and Katya Shyfrin, the London label began with the Venetian gondolier slipper as its point of departure. Each pair is hand-finished in Italy, with the kind of detail that reads better in motion than in a product shot.

Prada Shoes

Mario Prada and his brother Martino opened a leather goods shop called Fratelli Prada in Milan's Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in 1913, selling imported English trunks and travel accessories to the city's elite. His granddaughter Miuccia Prada took over in 1978 and, working with Patrizio Bertelli, turned a nylon backpack into the idea that a utilitarian material could sit at the center of a luxury house.

Marla Aaron Jewelry

Marla Aaron left a 25-year advertising career at 40 to recast a climbing carabiner into precious metal, launching her New York lock jewelry line in 2012. Notes on the necklaces, pendants and bracelets built around that working lock, and how to wear a mechanism instead of just a motif.

Maryam Nassir Zadeh Shoes

Maryam Nassir Zadeh opened her Lower East Side store in 2008 and launched her in-house clothing and shoe collection in 2012. Her background in textiles and styling shows up in pieces that make a complete look without looking overworked. The line’s downtown ease is less about minimalism than knowing exactly where to stop.

Acne Studios Jeans

Acne Studios brings Stockholm cool into a wardrobe of denim, oversized texture and slyly offbeat accessories. Founded in 1996 as part of a creative collective, the house grew from Jonny Johansson's red-stitched jeans into a full fashion practice. The clothes still reward a little friction, especially when clean Scandinavian lines meet an unexpected proportion or print.

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.

Barton Perreira Eyewear

Barton Perreira was started in 2007 by Bill Barton and Patty Perreira, whose earlier careers included building Oliver Peoples. Their first collection contained 42 eyewear models and the brand is known for frames made by hand in Japan. The appeal is in engineering, proportion and the small decisions that make a frame feel settled on the face.

Nikki Beach Hats: The Styles Worth Packing

Nikki Beach began as a family garden cafe on Miami Beach and grew into a world of beach clubs, resorts and boutiques. I am drawn to that story, so this edit is about the hats, swim and bags that go with a long afternoon outside.

AMANU Shoes

Amanu makes sandals, bags and belts around a simple idea: everyday accessories should carry the trace of the hands that made them. Founded by stylist Anita Patrickson in 2018, the label works with African artisans and grew from made-to-measure sandals into a wider collection of leather and woven pieces. The mood is tactile, resourceful and quietly connected to place.

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.

Buccellati Jewelry

Buccellati’s story begins with Mario Buccellati, who opened his first enterprise in Milan in 1919 after apprenticing with local goldsmiths. His work interpreted Italian techniques through finely textured gold and an unusually sculptural sense of nature. Rings, cuffs, necklaces and earrings in this selection carry that workshop language forward.

NEOUS Shoes: Sharp Heels and Textured Bags From London

NEOUS shoes and bags are made for people who like a little architecture in their wardrobe, from a London label founded in 2017. I go through the textured shoulder bags and the sharp shoes Vanissa Antonious designs.

Marie Lichtenberg Jewelry

Marie Lichtenberg launched her jewelry line in 2019 after twelve years as a fashion editor at French Elle. Her first lockets drew on a chain her mother gave her at fourteen, and forty pieces sold through Instagram in forty-eight hours. The collection still treats sentiment, craft and a little irreverence as design material.

Necklaces Under $300

Necklaces under $300 are where I would start if the goal is to make a simple outfit look considered without turning the jewellery into a performance. The useful rule is to choose one line, one pendant or one bit of texture, then let the rest of the outfit stay quiet. A chain shou

Martha Calvo Jewelry

Miami designer Martha Calvo created her jewelry line in 2006, building on a childhood habit of making necklaces and a love of mixing charms. She self-funded the business and its playful pieces found an audience through personal styling rather than formal restraint. The appeal is in the deliberate clash of color, symbols and shine.

Messika Jewelry

Discover Messika diamond jewelry through clean settings and fluid forms, with Parisian pieces designed for daily wear as well as evening.

Necklaces Under $250

Necklaces under two hundred and fifty dollars are the sweet spot for building a layered collection without making every purchase feel like a decision for life. I start with the neckline and work upward: one chain, one pendant, then a piece with a different length or texture if th

Mizuki Jewelry

Mizuki Goltz founded her New York jewelry brand with her husband in 1996 after studying sculpture at the School of Visual Arts. A handmade beaded necklace sold for twenty dollars became an early nudge toward a career built around modern pearls and fluid gold lines. The work balances Japanese and American sensibilities without turning either into a costume.

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.

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.
