Hermes Constance: We defy you to find a more timeless, wearable bag than the Hermes Constance. The ingenious sliding strap means it can be worn against the hip or on the shoulder and the clever clasp in the form of the eponymous, gold H hardware (for Hermes, of course) has cemented its place as a truly classic icon. 

Hermes Constance 18 Black Epsom Leather with Gold Hardware, Never Worn, £12,280.00

 

 

Chanel Boots: Only Chanel could take a combat boot and make it elegant, wearable and cool - all in one go. The padded detail with its signature Chanel logo is the epitome of quiet luxury and the soft, malleable leather is to die for.

 

Chanel Black Leather Combat Boots, size 39, £700.00

Original RRP (Approx) £1,400.00

 

 

 

Hermes Blanket: This woven wool and cashmere jacquard Avalon III blanket is the epitome of Hermes’ signature style and this particular colour combination of burgundy and beige couldn’t be more a/w 2024 if it tried.  Throw it over a sofa or fold it at the end of your bed for instant interior elevation. 

 

Hermes Écru and Rouge Cashmere and Merino Wool Avalon III Throw BlanketNever Used £963.60

Original RRP (Approx) £1,540.00

 

 

The Row Jacket: When it comes to quiet luxury, The Row has few competitors. However, this much-coveted label doesn’t come cheap, so a piece of pre-owned The Row in mint condition is a real find. This oversized, single-breasted, slouchy wool jacket in ‘storm blue’, has just the right balance of polish and relaxed masculine tailoring for that overall vibe of sophisticated insouciance.

The Row Blue Single Breasted Winslow Wool Blazer, £925.00

 Original RRP (Approx) £1,790.00

 

 

Nike Trainers: If you are a fan of colourful retro trainers, then these Nike Dunk Low Disrupt Multi-Color Women’s sneakers are as good as it gets. Pair with a perfectly tailored trouser suit and you’re good to go.

Multi Dunk Low Disrupt Sneakers, £210.00

 

 

Loro Piana Knit: It doesn’t really get much more luxurious than Loro Piana cashmere. Harvested (always responsibly) from the Capra Circus (cashmere goats) from Mongolia, its softness and natural thermal properties puts it in a league of its own. We particularly love their finer knits and this black crew neck is the ultimate luxury essential for any capsule wardrobe worth its salt.

Loro Piana Black Fine Knit Cashmere Long Sleeve Top £250.75 

Original RRP (Approx) £1,170.00

 

Jil Sander Trench: Everyone should own a trench coat - it is arguably the most hardworking piece in any capsule wardrobe. This double breasted, camel-hewed version from master-tailors, Jil Sander, is a true classic.

Jil Sander Beige Double Breasted Trench Coat, £400.00

Original RRP (Approx) £2,200.00

 

 

 

Celine Bag: Phoebe Philo’s Celine remains one of the most coveted, collectible labels. This red leather Cabas is the perfect colour for this season and the ultimate combination of luxurious leather handbag and roomy, insouciant tote. The horizontal versions are also the most practical shape from the whole Cabas collection. 


Red Leather Medium Horizontal Cabas, £548.57

Original RRP (Approx) £1,002.52

 

 

 

Cartier Watch: Characterised by its Roman numerals, sword-shaped hands and signature sapphire cabochon, the Ronde de Cartier more than deserves its place in the pantheon of timeless elegance. We particularly love this black oversized model in stainless steel.

 

Cartier Ronde Solo de Cartier XL Stainless Steel Watch, £1,908.00

Original RRP (Approx) £4,850.00

 

 

Hermes Belt: Arguably one of the most useful and chic accessories you could ever own, the Hermes Constance reversible belt (black on one side and tan on the other) featuring the label’s signature, gold hardware clasp, is understated but utterly transformative, bringing that perfect full stop of polish to any outfit. Oh, and it’s two belts for the price of one. What’s not to like?

Black Leather Constance Reversible Belt 85, £570
