Where do we start with this week! Another mixed bag of weather, shorter week for some thanks to the bank holiday, and before you know it, the weekend is here – along with your next Trend Trove.
Yes, our in-house shopping expert has been at it again, with a magnifier, searching the high street high and low for the hottest deals, news, fashion and beauty advice – along with gorgeous bits for your home – and beyond.
So, what’s the big news this week, and how on earth will she ever top last week? Well… British luggage brand Antler has just launched its new Heritage Collection, celebrating their 110-year legacy. This premium collection blends archival details with modern materials, featuring meticulously crafted pieces like the Heritage Stripe Cabin, Heritage Stripe Trunk, and a limited-edition Heritage Tote. Designed for longevity, the collection includes innovative features such as replaceable wheels, custom aluminium frames, and TSA-approved locks. Each piece undergoes rigorous testing, reflecting Antler’s commitment to quality and innovation. Just what we need after a summer of travelling on the horizon.
Keeping with the accessories theme, those looking for a bag that’s oh-so-versatile for work and play, Daisy Edgar Jones was recently seen with Dune London’s popular Deliberate L bag, styled in a ’90s off-duty look. This best-selling bag, also favoured by Bella Hadid, is a top choice for Spring/Summer, especially in chocolate brown. The Deliberate XL bag became a social media hit last season, selling out multiple times after being worn by celebrities like Katie Holmes. The Deliberate collection, introduced last year, remains a key style for Dune London, with a bag sold every 15 minutes, now available in various sizes and new colours.
And how could we go without mentioning Smythson’s collaboration with Parisian artist Thomas Lélu. Together, they have created a capsule collection featuring Lélu’s iconic sentences on their signature styles. This partnership highlights Smythson’s dedication to the art world and their commitment to working with leading artistic talents. The collection blends a mutual appreciation for writing and humor, celebrating Smythson’s principles of writing, travel, and gifting.
Ooh la la! Naturally, you can find a plethora of home, fashion and beauty goodies below – so take five, get the kettle on and enjoy a brew with a biscuit whilst shopping these delights (if we do say so ourselves).
