Discover the icons that don’t just adorn—they endure.

True luxury never fades; it’s in a constant state of evolution. Rediscover a pantheon of icons redefining their legacies, proving that heritage is not confined to history but thrives as a catalyst for fashionable creativity. From bags that moonlight as time capsules to watches that wear history on their bezels (literally), heritage here is not preserved behind glass but reinvented for the modern connoisseur. Each item bridges the wisdom of the past with the innovation of tomorrow, offering not just impeccable style but substance, a promise of longevity in a world flooded with fast fashion. Discover some of the icons that will narrate your story for decades to come.

Wearing Iconic Bags with Multiple Personalities

There’s always that one do-it-all friend who’s a professional by day, pilates instructor by night, and championship matcha drinker on weekends. This season’s heritage bags are that friend; we’re talking both range and speciality. Three iconic brands reveal why they’re still relevant today, moonlighting as shape-shifting style chameleons. And why settle for one look when you can have three?

 

Born from the archives of the 1970s Parisian cool, Celine’s Triomphe Bag was never designed for subtlety, and today’s version is no different. Reborn in 2018 under Hedi Slimane’s bold vision, the structured silhouette has become the quiet luxury move for women who prefer their statements sharp as tack. The 2025 iteration true to its roots with the brand’s signature Triomphe clasp, but reengineers the chain strap into a sleek, detachable hybrid of brushed metal and supple calfskin. Wear it crossbody with a razor-creased blazer and leather leggings for boardroom-to-bar versatility, or clutch it by the top handle against a minimalist slip dress for dinners.

 

Need a bit more functionality and form? Louis Vuitton’s Neverfull isn’t just any regular tote, it’s a cultural heirloom tasked with carrying everything from laptops to your everyday essentials since 2007. The 2025 “Inside Out” edition flips the script literally and figuratively: reversing the monogram canvas to reveal a bold, geometric print inspired by ’80s Memphis design. From workhorse tote to statement piece in the blink of an eye.

 

The Fendi Mamma Baguette, commonly recognised as the “it” bag of 1997’s Sex and the City era has finally grown up. The SS25 Mamma Baguette is a shape-shifting marvel: cinch the drawstring for a slouchy daytime vibe, then release it after dark for structured elegance. The new calfskin leather ages like fine wine, developing a patina that tells a story that is uniquely yours.

The Supporting Accessories Cast Trying to Steal the Show

Bags might be the leading stars of your outfit, but your accessories aren’t about to be silently outshone. Behind every daily carry is a stellar ensemble of supporting complementary pieces that give you that little extra bit of completion to your outfit.

 

John Galliano’s Y2K Saddle Bag got that micro-makeover we never knew we needed. The Saddle Lotus Dior Wallet condenses the bag’s iconic curve into a palm-sized accessory, complete with the signature metallic “D” charm. Slip it into your back pocket for a stealth flex, or dangle it from a chain as a mini-bag for nights when all you need is lipstick and aura. 

 

Proof that quiet luxury never shouts, Loro Piana’s Extra Pocket Mini Pouch crafted from buttery tumbled calfskin is the definition of anti-status symbol. The removable wrist strap whispers practicality, while the interior cardholder (lined in ultrasuede) is yet another subtle proclamation of elegance and tasteful style. Pair it with their cashmere sweaters for a monochrome look that is anything but monotonous. 

 

Sabato De Sarno shrinks the Double G buckle to pinky-finger proportions on this Gucci GG Marmont Belt and swaps calfskin for lab-grown leather. The result is a belt that pays homage to Alessandro Michele’s takeover of the 2015 scene with a glow-up a decade later. Wear it with slouchy trousers for that insouciant vibe. 

The Sparkling Encore Your Outfit Didn’t Know it Needed

If bags are your opening act and accessories the plot twists, consider jewellery the mic drop—the glittering exclamation point that honestly isn't all that extra. We're talking trinkets that double as heirlooms, bridging decades with a single clasp.

 

Celebrating 50 years of fluttering brilliance, Graff’s Butterfly Necklace is an entomologist’s fever dream. The 2025 edition features wings articulated like actual insect anatomy, set with diamonds that shift and sparkle with the light. Wear it solo over a plunging backless gown or layer it with a classic tennis necklace. 

 

Cartier’s Trinity Ring has symbolised love’s three pillars since 1924. The 2025 reboot gets a feral makeover of love, fidelity, leopard spots and zebra stripes etched onto the intertwined bands. Stack it with their Love bracelet for a jungle core aesthetic. 

 

The 1966 key ring responsible for thousands of rom-com inspired meetups is back, reimagined as a pendant. Return to Tiffany® collection is a classic reinvented, embodying a standout silhouette that is instantly recognisable as the collection's celebrated aesthetic. Pair this mini heart tag pendant with a Return to Tiffany® mini heart tag bead bracelet to complete your look.

Keeping More Than Just Time

Watches are far more than mere wrist bling, they are statements of historical sophistication, heirlooms of ingenuity, and companions that silently mark life’s most important moments. Beyond their precision and craftsmanship, these icons of horology are time machines, traversing decades of style revolutions while effortlessly retaining their allure. While age might touch us, these legendary timepieces might have cracked the code to defying the passage of time.

 

Born in 1977 as a direct response to rival and out-disco the Audemars Piguet’s Royal Oak, the Vacheron Constantin Historiques 222 was the watch you’d spot glinting under neon dance floor lights. The 2025 reboot swaps its original champagne dial for a brooding smoky grey for a stealthy profile while maintaining the iconic integrated bracelet and hexagonal bezel.

 

James Bond’s 1957 dive watch is back, but this time it’s serving “distinguished gentleman” rather than “license to kill.” The tropical brown dial achieved through Omega’s alchemy of controlled oxidation looks like it spent decades ageing in a cedar wood cigar box. The new sapphire case back maintains crystal clarity, flexing Omega’s mechanical prowess in movement engineering.

Luxury is a Story Beyond the Label

 

True luxury can't merely be acquired, it must be tastefully curated, a testament to discernment and an appreciation for craftsmanship that transcends eras. The icons showcased this season are more than just objects, they are intricate narratives woven into leather, metal, and stone. Each piece does more than accessorise, it accompanies you on every journey, evolving alongside the individual who chooses them while navigating their multifaceted world.The Supporting Accessories Cast Trying to Steal the Show
