After giving tips to the dapper gentlemen about this season’s top five accessories, we turn our attention to the fairer sex. It’s time for the ladies to sit up and pay attention, because we reveal the five must-have accessories for women this fall.

Moomin Marvellous

 

The Moomins X Strathberry collection is the latest offering to come courtesy of Strathberry, the Scottish luxury luggage label. Produced in association with the Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson, every item in the range features one of the Moomins, the ever-popular fairy tale characters Jansson created back in 1945. The most famous of these – Moomintrol – can be found traipsing across the collection’s East/West and Mini Crescent bags, with a series of mini-Moomins emblazoned across the more compact leather purses and pouches.

Uncommon Scents

Carat Eau de Parfum, the latest fragrance from those fine folk at Cartier, is said to charmingly encapsulate the finest and freshest floral notes from a selection of nature’s most evocative nose-pleasers, including hints of violet, iris, hyacinth, ylang-ylang, daffodil, honeysuckle and tulip. Clearly designed to not only satisfy just one sense, the scent comes packaged in the kind of cut-glass finery more usually associated with the company’s high-end jewellery. A true visual and olfactory treat, it’s a must for the dressing tables of all the most modish.

Pyramid Selling

While pyramids will always first bring to mind the long-dead pharaohs of long-lost Egyptian dynasties, nuzzling into second place, in terms of three-dimensional triangle association, is surely Hermès, the Paris-headquartered high-end, high fashion brand. Not only were these pointy promontories a recurring motif in the marque’s truly memorable Fall/Winter 2018 collection, they are now the defining element of its newly-released and elegantly eye-catching Médor Rock collection of watches, with each model coming with a distinctly pyramidesque dial-mounted gem. 

Amore in Store

 

With love always in the air among the most stylish and best-heeled, Bulgari, that most laudable of Italian luxury brands, is clearly looking to revive flickering flames of affection and to add a little added allure to any spontaneous outpourings of amore with its collection of limited-edition passion-themed handbags and heartfelt haute jewellery designs. So, if you want to declare your love with a Divas’ Dream pink gold necklace, Bulgari might well prove the middleman you’ve been looking for.

Gorgeous Grisogono

In a unique celebration of its 25-year history of eye-catching creativity, De Grisogono, the renowned Swiss luxury jeweller, has unveiled a commemorative collection of 25 stunning examples of bespoke, bejeweled innovation. Ably capturing a quarter-century of unpredictable affluence, the collection is awash with unexpected contrasts and finely-crafted counterpoints, not to mention astonishing stones, startling structures, artful aesthetics and, of course, the brand’s characteristic flair for the exceptional.
