Altuzarra
Bionda Castana
We've had a sneak peek at New York label Altuzarra's pre-spring collection for 2015 – and it's looking good, with the brand's emphasis on making women look 'seductive, strong and confident'. The collection lands at Matches in Ledbury Road soon. altuzarra.com
The antithesis of the ugly sandal (below) are these sharp heels by Bionda Castana. Slim stilettos, dainty points and delicate ties contrast with those thick soles, big buckles and wide straps. Take your pick. £420, my-wardrobe.com

SKIN DEEP Horiyoshi the Third
WHOSE BAG? Somerville Scarves
The colourful Wayuu Mochila bags are made by the Wayuu, a group of indigenous people from La Guajira Peninsula in Colombia and Venezuela. Each bag is unique and handmade, taking 21 days by one woman who has her own signature. £85, somervillescarves.com
Love tattoo art but can't face an actual full-body suit? Connaught Street's fabulous Horiyoshi the Third creates mens and womenswear inspired by the work of Japanese tattoo master Horiyoshi III. We are obsessing over this Botan jungle dress in luxurious silk crepe de chine. £630, thethiiird.com
