Michael Rider started his reign at Celine strong last July when he reintroduced the Phoebe Philo-era Phantom bag during Paris Couture Fashion Week. Immediately following the brand's Resort 2026 collection, stars like Julia Roberts and A$AP Rocky flocked to the New Luggage, marked by its "smiling" zipper update.
PROOF Wallet is a vertical, wrap-around design that keeps the metal front but softens everything else. The Founder model pairs an aerospace-grade aluminum plate with top-grain leather and a wide elastic strap, aiming for something that still feels slim but looks more like a compact card case than a tactical gadget. It is pitched as a minimalist wallet built for professionals, which mostly means it does not scream EDC the way most metal wallets do.
Whenever there's a spare minute, your first instinct is to reach for your phone and scroll. But what if you didn't? Experts confirm the benefits of this new take on old ways to pass time
Whether you're planning a quick road trip to the nearest beach or a much-needed couple's getaway, spending a few days away calls for a sturdy, stylish, and functional travel bag. We often turn to our favourite weekenders to hold everything we need for short trips and overnight stays.

There's something oddly satisfying about watching outdoor gear shed its bulk. We've seen tents collapse into impossibly small pouches and sleeping bags compress into cylinders the size of water bottles. Now, Camprit is applying that same minimalist philosophy to camp stoves with their TiStove, and the results are kind of brilliant. The concept is deceptively simple.

It's not a multi-thousand pound handbag from Hermes that best captures the new era of It bags, but a 149 tote from John Lewis. Launched this season, it's deeper (45cm) and taller (33cm) than your average handbag, and comes loaded with good intentions. It's able to hold your packed lunch, flask and book, as well at a push as your gym kit.
Looking more put-together doesn't always come down to big purchases or dramatic changes. More often, it's the small upgrades that quietly do the heavy lifting - a better beauty tool, an impactful accessory, or one product that makes everything else work harder. This list is full of affordable finds that look and feel a little bougie, even though they're surprisingly cheap. Each one earns its spot by making you look more polished, more pulled together, or just slightly more expensive than you actually are.
A couple of years and one small Singer sewing machine later, that first sail became practice material for tote bags that Amato-Salvatierra would go on to sell under the brand name Ocean Beach Yacht Club, or OBYC. Each bag is cut and sewn from repurposed sails in Amato-Salvatierra's garage studio, and no two are exactly alike. He's been making them for more than ten years.
