Handbags and shoes: Essential accessories for your fall wardrobe


 Farewell to tongs, spartans and woven shopping bags, the fall announces the return of thigh boots, dizzy-making court shoes and other crocodile skin bags. Spotlight on season essentials.





Tila March: You’ve sure got the crocodile look!

It is now official, the Zelig of Tila March is coming out this winter in a luxury version, by that I mean, a crocodile skin, already cult, before its launch. A word of warning, this edition is limited and should be ordered without delay for the most die-hard, fashion-lovers.

Nina Ricci: 77 years old, the age of reason for accessories


With a new Artistic Director, Nina Ricci, after 77 years of existence, is coming out in the bit over-crowded accessories field, with a short line of handbags that are very "chic and Parisian."  On the menu are shopping bags, hobos, clutch bags and pochon bags for a collection that, obviously, puts under the spotlight the twist, the House emblem, a subtle echo of the legendary golden threading of the Air du temps bottle. As for skin, between plunged lamb, foal, alligator or bull calf leather, we should without a doubt find our happiness. Future it-bag? The response will come shortly...

Louis Vuitton: the small thigh boot that is going up and up...

The surprise guest of this winter, the thigh boot is making its big comeback holding out the prospect of an obviously tempting winter. Under the impetus of Marc Jacobs, Louis Vuitton has thus reserved a  Cuissarde Séduction in sheepskin for us which tirelessly sheathes the legs and plunges onlookers in an intoxicating troubled state... A blinding effect on onlookers is guaranteed!

My fair Lady Dior

Instrumentalized this season by the oscarisable Cotillard-Dahan duo in a vaguely Hitchcock-like short film, Lady Dior and its canned-like selvedge are pursuing their goal: to reach the legendarybags rank, 2.55 by Chanel in the lead. While the House is concentrating this year on its everlasting noble models in black, our heart is already flipping for Lady Dior in red leather, more pointedly alluring.

Santoni: Shoes

It is obvious that at Santoni, a passion for shoes is cultivated. Thirty years of experience, no less than 20 master shoes and a superb selection of fine leathers, treated with old processes and traditional craft methods in anhydride basins are of course here the guarantee for top quality. Add to this the unfathomed curve of a dizzy-making heel, the mix of leathers on a feminist plum-coloured court shoe, and you have no more arguments for any hesitation...

Price: 660 €


 


Gloves: Casual-chic in a Scandinavian way

After having greatly revolutionized the shirt industry with its famous "button collar", Gant, the chic and sportswear brand made in USA, moved to Sweden, imposing its casual design for the rest of Europe. Today it is a dense and comprehensive collection, from watches to leather goods that reach us straight from Scandinavia. Especially worth noting is the leather, stiff, multi-pocket bag, both rock and practical at the same time. In other words: indispensable.

Good feet, nice Tod's

And time again for a pair of Tod's this winter! For a more glamour version, better try the veal, grey-velvet Pointy low boots, perched on gum built-up heels. Ultra-feminine, plus extra comfort. Who could ask for more?

Price: 435 €
