SCARAB


    image courtesy ©Sophie Buhai

 


Rooted in ancient symbolism and shaped through a contemporary lens, this pair of sculptural earrings reflects Sophie Buhai’s devotion to form, material, and meaning. Crafted in sterling silver, each piece carries a polished onyx drop whose profound black surface holds depth, gravity, and a composed allure. 

Drawing from the scarab’s enduring associations with renewal and continuity, the design unfolds in an elongated silhouette that moves with intention. As they fall from the ear, the form traces a measured rhythm, transforming gesture into presence and ornament into expression. It is here that the Scarab Drop Earrings in Onyx reveal their character: balanced, symbolic, and unmistakably sculptural. 

LILY OF THE VALLEY BROOCH

Sterling silver transforms into botanical poetry through the atelier's articulated craftsmanship. Eight centimetres of precious metal become a living talisman, capturing the delicate geometry of muguet, that bell-shaped flower which Christian Dior kept always within a reliquary at his breast, cherishing its spring-born promise of fortune. 

Jonathan Anderson's inaugural couture vision for the House resurrects this verdant language, channelling generations of creative inheritance into wearable art. The brooch emerges from his Spring-Summer 2026 collection as part of the Dior Couture Charms series, where playful sophistication meets the atelier's most hallowed codes. Each petal, each stem articulates through hinged construction, animated by the wearer's movement, a kinetic sculpture that recalls how Monsieur Dior himself distributed fresh sprigs to his petites mains every first of May, ensuring luck blessed the fingers that brought dreams into silk and taffeta. 

THE WORK COAT IN KAKISHIBU CLOTH

Time settles into fabric here, absorbed through fibre and dye until cloth becomes memory. Cotton intertwined with hemp forms an Oxford weave of substance and breath, carrying a tactile density that feels considered and composed. The surface bears the depth of kakishibu dye, drawn from fermented persimmon tannins, imparting a tone that evolves gently with light, movement, and wear, gathering character as seasons pass. 
 
Cut in a relaxed silhouette that embraces the body with ease, the coat moves with serenity and measure. Its oxford cloth, washed repeatedly to enhance softness and volume, holds a colour imbued with organic depth, echoing soil, air, and craftsmanship. Broad patch pockets and reinforced closures lend the piece an intuitive utility, where each detail, from layered external storage to thoughtfully placed internal compartments,  resonates with the quiet rigour of design. 

 

SCARF BAG

soft enough to forgive, 
structured enough to remember 
not carried, but kept 
the shape of ease 
where form becomes feeling



A Lemaire design that begins with a fold and ends in a habit. Crafted in shiny nappa leather, the Scarf Bag negotiates the tension between gesture and structure: supple where it must yield, defined where it must hold. 
Offered in two sizes, small and regular, the bag contains a main compartment with a zipped closure and a small inside pocket for essentials. The twisted shoulder strap allows multiple carries, on the shoulder or as a sling, and the piece is engineered to rest with the body’s rhythm rather than interrupt it. 

PHAEDRA

In the luminous interplay of metal and flame resides the Phaedra candle holder, a sculptural reverie by artist Bregje Sliepenbeek, hand-forged in Amsterdam. In Size L, its dimensions unfold with commanding presence: sweeping curves of hammered aluminium reflect the candle’s dance, casting shifting light across surfaces. It invites grandeur, a centrepiece that holds space as much as flame. In Size S, the same design is distilled, petals of metal pressed close, intimate, perfect for smaller settings where subtlety matters as much as form. 

Each piece is cut, shaped and polished from fine aluminium: delicate in weight, strong in personality. The metal’s mirror-like surface amplifies every flicker; beeswax candles supplied with the piece enrich every glow with softness and natural warmth. The Size S candle holder measures approximately 18 × 15 cm, making it an ideal artwork for a sideboard, writing desk, or windowsill. The Size L version magnifies that effect, becoming a gathering point, a silhouette set against shadows. 

AUBÖCK MAGNIFYING GLASS NECKLACE

Crafted from 100% natural horn, the Auböck Magnifying Glass Necklace embodies Austrian handcraft in dialogue with Lemaire’s refined restraint. Each piece is unique: horn, with its flowing veins and tonal shifts, refuses uniformity and carries its own living character. 
A circular lens, suspended from a supple lambskin cord, sharpens the gaze and magnifies detail – both literally and metaphorically. Adjustable knots enable the wearer to adjust the length, shaping proximity, and perspective. 

MOTHER OF PEARL

On the palm, light shivers: a mother-of-pearl vide-poches appears as a small jewel for everyday. Measuring roughly 16 by 17 centimetres, this plate-like vessel carries the sea’s memory, its surface iridescent as dawn breaking on water. Delicately smooth and feather-light, it strikes a balance between function and a rare sense of elegance. 
Named for its purpose, holding the cast-offs of pocket and handbag, it becomes a stage for the overlooked: a ring, a coin, a stray key, perhaps a folded note. 

RAMO

Like a forest caught in mid-breath, the Ramo Earrings by Carolina de Barros unfurl with quiet poetry, each vine-like curve a whisper of woodland midnight and soft moonlight. Delicate pearls cling along their sinuous paths, like dew-kissed blossoms suspended in repose. These aren’t just adornments; they are miniature moment-capturing silhouettes, sculpted in recycled silver, and there are also in an 18ct gold-plated version, made entirely by hand in her London atelier. 

A GESTURE IN DUCHESSE

A clean cut, precisely weighted. 
This sleeveless top in structured black duchesse by Carven balances volume and line. Light padding gives quiet architecture to the silhouette. A square neckline frames the collarbone; the back opens into a deep fold, interrupted by a suspended thread of mock pearls. 

CANNOLO TOTE

French will know it as a classic pain de Mie or a loaf of bread (here is the recipe), which this mini box bag resembles. It is made of Italian spazzolato leather, a polished cow leather traditionally used for men´s shoes due to its durability,  features exaggeratedly long-line straps and is fastened by magnetic flaps.

TRANSITIONAL KNITS

Transitional knits should be one of those garments that seamlessly transition from one size into another, in this case, from spring and summer ones into fall. But it is a point when the line between seasons is not only blurred, they don´t exist. Even during these days, or even now when I am writing, it´s pretty summery, warm and humid too, that kind that leads to easy sweat, while two days ago it was rainy and quite autumnal already. So I am asking myself, are we talking about transitions? Do those once well-known periods still exist, or are they turning into a myth? As everything changes constantly, like the weather, so do our habits, including dressing. We can easily use a soft wool short-sleeve polo on sunny or non, less humid days or sweaters with mighty details to note, including tie-front details silhouettes, while on a more muggy one, there are a lot of beautiful options, like a sleeveless one adorned with buttons or even a cardigan, linen-light and airy. Everything is worn on its own, as a part of a layering piece or even as a functional accessory, like a waist cincher instead of the belt or as a soft Schall or shoulder warmer, pivoting on the weather and temperature.

SWIM SHORTS

When I visualize a relaxing day at the beach, a refreshing dip in the swimming pool, a luxurious resort getaway (even though it is not my type of setting), or a session at the gym, this is the item that always springs first to my mind. If selected thoughtfully, taking into account the ideal balance between design, fit, and material, it's undeniable that swimming shorts can also double as a comfortable and casual daily summer staple and even achieve a chic look when paired with the right pieces, such as a well-fitted shirt or t-shirt, and boat shoes or sandals.
