To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Baguette this year, Fendi teamed up with luminaries — from Sarah Jessica Parker to Marc Jacobs — to create collaborative editions of the rectangular bag. One of the most interesting partnerships, however, has been with Japanese luggage brand Porter. Using its signature durable nylon and updating the Baguette so it can be worn around the waist or slung across the body, Porter has put a fresh and utilitarian spin on a classic.

Whether used to hold a bunch of keys or to jazz up a bag, keychains are fun and useful additions to an accessory collection. We like this Prada robot keychain, which combines toolish- looking metal components with a body of Saffiano leather and an enamelled triangle logo.

We all know the Meisterstück as Montblanc’s signature pen, but that writing instrument also serves as the inspiration for the brand’s other product categories. On this Meisterstück Selection document case, for example, the influence is seen in the nib- shaped detailing on handles and zip pulls.

Housed in packaging designed by shoe and jewellery maestro Pierre Hardy, Hermès beauty products are objects of beauty in themselves. For Fall/Winter 2022, the house proposes a strong palette of its nail and lip colours. Nail polishes come in a silver or iridescent violet (better to match your new iPhone with), while lipsticks come in three fiery reds with a matte finish.

Nail polish, $74; lipstick, $118

A rugged classic that first became a streetwear staple in the ‘90s, the Timberland 6-Inch Boot gets its latest update courtesy of green fashion brand Pangaia. Available in Pangaia’s signature pink and green, as well as Timberland’s Wheat brown, the models have a cleaner look with their monochromatic styling as well as flaps that conceal the eyelets. Of course, their green credentials are in place; they are partly made from responsibly grown rubber, abaca plant fibre and organic cotton.

To mark its 70th anniversary this year, Moncler teamed up with seven designers on seven collaborative models of its Maya short down jacket. The recently launched final drop was created by multi-hyphenate and pop-culture force Pharrell Williams and — surprise, surprise — it comprises neither down nor nylon. The black jacket is instead made of a rubber-like polymeric material dotted all over with embossed branding.

Finally, a form of inflation that will put a smile on your face. Loewe’s latest accessories get all puffed up, from balloons that look like they are being squashed under the heel of a shoe to these oversized acetate sunglasses in yellow (pictured), red, black or grey. Best as a gift for those with similarly outsized personalities.
