PUCKER UP
Chloé seizes the day with the spring/summer 2021 debut of The Kiss bag. Inspired by the ever-popular jewelry line from this legendary design house, The Kiss bag strikes just the right note of bohemian chic. Expertly combining the suppleness of buttery leather with precise lines, smooth, modern hardware playfully forms the curves of a feminine pout. Available in an array of earth tones, The Small Kiss and Hobo Kiss handbags are destined to be this season’s showstoppers.

MODERN MASTERPIECE
The rich history of the Massachusetts coastline has attracted artists and creatives for generations, including legendary artistic director of Hermès Henri d’Origny. In 1991 he introduced the original Cape Cod “rectangle within a rectangle” wristwatch that has since become a household classic. Hermès continues its celebration of coastal New England with a brand-new take on its beloved Nantucket TPM watch. Drawing from another house staple, the Chaîne d’Ancre, the latest Nantucket TPM is accented with diamonds and a mother-of-pearl dial and interwoven with elegance.

CHECK MATE
With Burberry fever still at a pitch, the house’s new signature Pocket bag takes a front seat to the check phenomenon. Like most of Creative Director Riccardo Tisci’s creations, the tote takes cues from Burberry’s archives, but with the addition of the singular Tisci touch. Elegant topstitching, handpainted details, a new pocket and leather taping combine with the brand’s equestrian heritage and Italian craft smanship to bring an updated look to a timeless classic.
