The beloved Sam handbag makes a punchy comeback in celebration of Kate Spade’s 25th anniversary. With a number of different materials (like quilted leather, printed canvas, and wicker), this Kate Spade classic is reintroduced with over twenty variations. While each of the new designs is modern and unique, the same classic, utilitarian design ensures that Sam will make the perfect companion for the warm weather ahead.
Made with bold, bitter botanicals like saffron, columba, and angostura, Martini & Rossi’s exotic new Rivera Speciale Bitter is perfect for the upcoming warm weekends off. With its many layers, the sumptuous taste is perfect for a number of cocktails to enjoy, such as the brand’s iconic new Winter Spritz—additionally made with the brand’s Ambrato, and olive bitters, blood orange juice, and Lambrusco.

Dior Images Paolo Roversi is so much more than your new coffee table book. The newly released gem showcases an iconic collection of noted masterpieces from collaborations with Dior over a timespan of twenty-seven years. Featuring faces like Naomi Campbell and Natalia Vodianova, Paolo Roversi’s use of Polaroid film, mixed with large-format camera film, creates a hauntingly graceful style that is immediately recognizable. Additionally, the book reveals an exclusive set of images of Christian Dior’s designs, photographed in a session styled by Grace Coddington.

OC Jewellry is much more than just a brand of classic accessories. Founder and philanthropist Orianne Collins, alongside husband Phil Collins, also started the charity Little Dreams Foundation (LDF). Not only is the jewelry unique (as its inspiration comes from Orianne’s heritage, life, and travels), but a percentage of all of OC Jewellry’s sales is donated back into LDF to help underprivileged children achieve their dreams in sports, arts, and music.
