Feted London-based designer Craig Green – best known for his cerebral yet wearable, often utilitarian clothes – has released his first bag, the Fold Bag, which is constructed from padded nylon and is available in both silver grey and black at Selfridges.

Woolrich

As the temperature drops, what we really need is a good winter coat and where better to buy one from Woolrich, whose ‘Outdoor’ Autumn/Winter 2020 collection is created in partnership with Japanese outdoor specialist Goldwin.

Uniqlo x Jil Sander

Uniqlo’s collaboration with legendary designer Jil Sander, the queen of minimalism is back. Available from November 12, this “global modern uniform”, which can be seen in the video below, is as sophistcated as it is understated.

Palace

Whitney Houston has just been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (by Alicia Keys no less) and Palace has created a special capsule collection to celebrate, featuring T-shirts, sweatshirts, caps and one very nice varsity jacket. Available from 13 November, all profits will go to the Whitney E Houston Legacy Foundation.

Fendi x Chaos

Fendi has collaborated with Charlotte Stockdale and Katie Lyall of London-based accessories brand Chaos, resulting in a series of ‘tech jewellery’ pieces – such as this extremely luxurious smartphone pouch – which offer a lavish alternative to your everyday accessories.
