Race to get your sneakers from New Balance’s Made in USA range.
The most stylish people and spaces are often the most comfortable. But the brands, designers and product purveyors that inform these choices come with uncompromising standards and strong convictions. They’re simple shapes, with bold silhouettes, made with luxurious materials. This doesn’t mean they can’t be playful too.
Embrace the spectacle
Silhouette, weight, colour and materials are all factors eyewear aficionados consider. Jacques Marie Mage sunglasses are collectables — only 500 pairs per style. The brand’s Dealan frame references cultural icon Bob Dylan and details pay homage to the art deco movement. Available at Now You See Me, Norwood.
