As temperatures rise, flower beds burst into color, and spring settles over the capital. A sense of renewal is felt even in our wardrobes: just a few accessories are enough to transform an otherwise wintery look into a true invitation to the warmer season. For this carefully curated selection, all pieces come from French brands or are produced under ethical and responsible conditions.
Diane V bags
Tartan, checks, Liberty prints or camouflage at Diane V., patterns reign supreme. These fabric bags, made in Togo, are carried by all the it-girls, from chef Alice Moireau to influencer Zoe Guyot.
As a bonus, a few months ago the designer collaborated with singer and producer PinkPantheress. A devoted handbag lover who even insisted on keeping hers on stage in her early days with the capsule selling out instantly.
To top it all off, these beautiful bags, now accompanied by small creatures crafted from fabric offcuts, are available at Dover Street Market in Paris, a must-visit destination for shopping in the capital.
Before investing in one of her creations, you might be tempted by the designer’s latest additions: small tote-style dust bags, perfect for travelling or for carrying essentials in your suitcase.
The Beanies by Soukayna Zon Zian
Behind the brand is a highly fashion-forward duo who initially set out to pay tribute to their African roots. Their creations are inspired by the Chachiya, the crocheted caps traditionally worn by Muslim men. Building on this foundation, the duo has infused their designs with vibrant colors, winning over public figures such as A$AP Ferg along the way. To get your hands on one of these accessories, however, you’ll need to be patient and wait for the next drop.
The brooches by Amiina TV
With its playground-inspired universe, Amiina TV taps into nostalgia. From white tank tops to “childhood” shirts covered in drawings, the duo: Agnès and Camille manage to dress us as adults while speaking directly to our inner child. Created in Paris, the pieces are produced in small quantities, without stopping the designers from expanding their range, including these ribbon brooches to pin anywhere from a slightly dull suit jacket to a classic trench coat.
An endlessly adaptable piece from a brand brimming with imagination.
The Suzel ties
Behind Suzel is a mother-and-daughter duo. Their impeccably tailored pieces are designed to enhance the female silhouette. From raw denim to silk and cotton, all manufactured in Paris, Suzel makes no missteps.
Timeless by nature, the Suzel wardrobe offers a wide range of pieces that appeal just as much to Gen Z fashion enthusiasts as to more mature women. When it comes to accessories, Suzel stays classic while adding a twist: a tie is reimagined as a slim scarf to wrap around the neck.
The sunglasses by Clara Berry x Visages Eyewear
The influencer teamed up with Visages Eyewear to create the “Sasha.” Inspired by sportswear and the 1980s, the frame available in five colors features two integrated hairpins. A clever detail that adds volume at the temples and enhances its vintage appeal.
The highlight of this collaboration? The sunglasses are 3D-printed on demand. A way for the brand to reduce costs while giving free rein to its creativity and that of others, as it actively embraces collaborations.
They are available to rent on the Studio Paillette website.
The Ann-Julee necklaces
Behind Ann-Julee are two Parisian twin sisters who have worked and still do within luxury fashion houses in roles of varying creative scope. With this project, they fully express their artistic talent.
Geometric pendants: circles, squares, cylinders hang from 925 silver chains. These “wearable objects” come in pop colors as well as transparent resin. They can be worn directly against the skin or left resting on a coffee table as a decorative piece.
The necklaces are available at Souag Forever, 31 avenue Parmentier, 75011 Paris.
