Convertible Bags
One bag, several ways to carry it, from shoulder to crossbody to backpack.
Ossa
Ossa New York was founded in 2022 by Katie Simcox, a designer who worked at Marchesa and Alexander Wang, and Sarah Crane, who came from wholesale at A.P.C., rag and bone and Theory. Their idea was a fashion take on Europe's phone chain trend: beaded cords, metal chains, freshwater pearls and gemstones that clip onto a custom clear case through a patented ball chain connection, so you can swap straps whenever you like. This edit gathers the wristlets, crossbody chains and cases that turn a phone into an accessory.
Card Holder: Slim Slots, Zip Cases and Pre-Owned Classics, All From One Forgotten Wallet
A card holder edit in three parts: slim designer cases, zip and flap styles, and pre-owned Chanel, Hermès, Goyard and Louis Vuitton. I say which one I would carry, where it fits and what to check before you buy.
Yellow Clothes: Pieces in Every Shade From Cream to Mustard
Yellow clothes come in every shade from buttery cream to deep mustard. I pulled tanks, sweatshirts and sun earrings that make a closet feel brighter.
Card Case Wallets: Slim Card Holders, Bifolds and Chain Styles
A practical guide to choosing a wallet, from slim card cases to zip and bifold styles and the small chain bags that carry your cards. I walk through pieces from Coach, Saint Laurent, Prada, Tory Burch and more, and how each one sits in a bag or a pocket.
Statement Earrings: One Strong Pair With Button-Downs
One strong earring can do more work than a whole jewelry box. This edit pairs eight statement earrings against the button-down shirts and gold necklaces that actually share the frame with them. The point is not more jewelry, it is picking the one piece that changes the outfit's balance.
Tennis Necklace Guide: Diamond, Crystal and Everyday Gold Styles
A diamond tennis necklace is a single line of stones that sits close to the collarbone, and crystal and gold-tone versions follow the same shape. I cover slim everyday styles, fine diamond pieces and lab-grown lines.
Gold Hoop Earrings Have Left the Quiet Corner
Gold hoop earrings need not stay in the quiet corner. Compare mini hoops, chunky shapes and a pavé crescent to find a proportion that feels like you.
The Woven Raffia Bag Has a Day Job
Explore woven raffia bags for everyday plans, from Coach’s straw shoulder bag to compact bucket bags and polished totes that work beyond the beach.
Gold-Filled, Vermeil, or Solid: What Jewelry Prices Actually Mean
Gold-filled, vermeil or solid: what jewelry prices actually mean. A real guide to Revolve's jewelry edit across every budget.
Chelsea Boots for Women: Lug Sole, Pull-On and Leather Pairs
A familiar ankle boot that brings a grounded finish to dresses, denim, and tailoring.
Anderson's Belts: Handmade in One Parma Factory Since 1966
Anderson's has made belts by hand in one factory in Parma, Italy since 1966, when leather worker Carlo Valenti named the company after Savile Row tailor Anderson and Sheppard. Notes on how texture and finish, more than width or buckle, separate one Anderson's belt from the next.
Poolside Dressing, Head To Toe
Poolside dressing comes down to a one-piece, a sarong, slides and sun care that work between the lounger and lunch. I go through one-pieces from Éterne, MARE PERPETUA and Left On Friday, then slides, sunglasses and sun care.
Dresses And Skirts: Editors' Picks
The dresses and skirts worth buying are chosen on construction, not on how often they appear online. These are my Lovewave picks, with notes on which are worth the money.
Hats for Bad Hair Days: Caps, Bucket Hats and Wide Brims
Hats for bad hair days run from everyday caps and golf visors to bucket hats and wide-brim statement pieces. I picked a hat for every excuse not to wash your hair.
The Mini Purse Survived Its Own Backlash
A mini purse works because it forces an edit, which is exactly what an evening bag should do. I run the phone test, then look at how the strap decides the occasion.
Designer Crossbody Bags: ALAÏA, Louboutin and Chloé Picks
Explore designer crossbody bags for hands-free days, from ALAÏA's Le Coeur leather style to Christian Louboutin's raffia Bettina.
Pre Loved Bag: What to Know Before You Buy
When you buy a pre loved bag, the condition of the hardware and the corners decides most of it. I go through what to check, then the everyday carry and evening bags.
Marina B Jewelry: Spring-Mounted Settings From Geneva
Marina Bulgari left her family's jewelry house in 1976 and founded Marina B in Geneva in 1977, building the brand around spring-mounted settings, unthreaded beads and her own Chestnut stone cut. Notes on how those three ideas show up in the rings, bracelets and necklaces here.
Headbands in Style: Pearls, Bows, Velvet and Leather Bands
Headbands are in style again: in September 2018 Miuccia Prada sent every model out in a padded band for her Spring 2019 show. I sort the bands by pearls and crystals, bows and knots, and knit or fur for the cold.
Mikimoto Pearl Jewelry: The Maker of the First Cultured Pearl
Mikimoto pearl jewelry began with Kokichi Mikimoto, who created the world's first cultured pearl in 1893. He opened his first pearl boutique in Tokyo's Ginza in 1899, and I go through the pieces I would wear.
New York Jewelry: Heavy Chains, Cuffs and Sculptural Rings
New York jewelry right now is not delicate: weight and shape do the talking. I go through chains, pendants and chokers, cuffs and bangles, and sculptural rings, worn together rather than separately.
The Polène Bag, From a Paris Studio and the Workshops of Ubrique
A Polène bag is made in Ubrique, Spain, by a Paris label founded in 2016 by three siblings. I sort the shapes one by one, from the Numéro Un to the newer styles, so you can choose your first.
Suede Bags: Totes, Shoulder Bags and Top Handles for Fall
Suede bags have become the default autumn accessory, from slouchy shoulder bags to totes and top handles. I go through the bags I would carry first, then the shoes that follow.
