No matter the occasion or trend, carefully considered accessories always serve as statement pieces. A good piece of jewellery can stand alone, completing your outfit and adding just the right amount of elegance and sparkle, while a quality timepiece underwrites the very essence of timeless and refined dressing. And don’t forget the addition of a chic pair of sunglasses as the definitive nod to the luxury of a nuanced style expression.
