We’ve put together our favourite women’s spring accessories to help you bounce into the spring feeling.
As winter gives way to summer, it’s time to bring out those shades or, better still, time to upgrade to one of this season’s latest sunglass styles. Foremost among these, surely, is British designer Alexander McQueen’s AW18 Jewelled Collection – a luxury box set of premium eyewear available solely at Puyi Optical in Hong Kong. From chic pilot to elegant square frames, all with sparkling Swarovski crystals, this wide range of shades is ideal for all face shapes and styles. Adding a touch of glamour are the antique gold or silver frames that gives the glasses a true vintage appeal. www.puyi.com
Mabros, the Central-located jewellery house, has been synonymous with exquisite timepieces and fine diamond jewellery ever since it opened its doors back in 1985, thanks mainly to the fine craftsmanship of its many skilled artisans who sculpt each item by hand over weeks or even months. Its latest Bird Brooch collection – a prime example of the haute joaillerie house’s blend of design and craftsmanship – brings together an array of precious stones, from diamonds and sapphires to rubies and tsavorites, to create a colourful canvas that surely adds just the right touch of luxury to any outfit. www.mabros.com
For his debut at the Italian haute couture label Bottega Veneta, newly-appointed creative director Daniel Lee has opted to entice handbag fans with two new leather-dominant designs. First up is the Maxi Cabat, which features the label’s trademark intrecciato handcraftsmanship – evident in the thin strips of ‘fettuce’ leather interwoven into a criss-cross pattern – and available in three unique styles. Then there’s The Pouch, an understated and versatile clutch that’s said to be perfect for a casual daytime jaunt or a more formal evening soiree. Whatever the occasion, these eye-catching accessories are sure to capture more than a passing gaze. www.bottegaveneta.com
