White and bronze home
Interior designer Katharine Pooley offers a selection of products from her eponymous boutique. This season’s selection centres on the white and bronze colour schemes like the Coco Vase that is crafted in shagreen with bronze-patina brass to contrast; the Coco Bowl that exudes luxury and sophistication and is available in varying sizes and finishes; the Classic Brass Shagreen frame that has a metal-frame finish for a clean contemporary look; and the Constellation frame that is embellished with Mother of Pearl to depict the night sky. Check out the full collection at her online boutique store.
Past revisited
Give yourself a new look with Pinko’s fall/winter 2021 collection that features an eclectic and versatile style for the women of today. Dynamic with a bit of rock-and-roll edge to her, the collection is very much 1970s inspired with 1990s references thrown in for good measure. Check out the artisanal outerwear styles that include customised military jackets, trenches with eco-leather details and 70s parkas. Bon-ton bouclé skirt suits have also been revived with pairings of t-shirts and gothic motifs, while 90s logomania makes a comeback on selected pieces.

Regardless of the separation, love surrounds them and brings magic to life. The Lovedrops design features a medley of timeless diamonds and each piece is intricately crafted with either a combination of 18K rose and white gold or full 18K rose gold.
