8 Luxe Accessories You’ll Love This Summer (And For Life)

From Bottega Veneta’s cult-status earrings to a bucket hat by Prada, these new season investments are pure summer joy.

If you’re anything like us, when a new season rolls around you’re looking for a couple of key investment pieces that will see you through the coming months – but that you’ll wear and love for life. Thankfully, Spring/Summer 2024 is packed-to-the-brim with accessories that fit this exact criteria, luxe items that scream ‘best summer ever’ and will see you through many future holidays to come. From Miu Miu’s impossibly cute headband to Ferragamo’s chic (and practical) woven tote, your hardest decision will be narrowing your wishlist down.

MIU MIU HEADBAND

$885

Is there a more playfully femme brand than Miu Miu? We think not. Instantly dial up the chic factor of any outfit this season with a classic alice band. Lean into coastal summer vibes with this woven design, or elevate party-season ensembles with the crystal-encrusted Duchess Band.

LOUIS VUITTON ROMY SLINGBACK

$1,750

We love pieces that can be styled in a myriad of ways, especially when it comes to luxury items. The ultimate versatile shoe this season has to be Louis Vuitton’s Romy Slingback Pump in white. The low block heel will have you dancing the night away at all your end-of-year events, style it with a floaty sundress for lunch with the girls, or with a great pair of jeans and a blazer for a day in the office.

CELINE TRIOMPHE SUNGLASSES

$790

Celine’s Triomphe sunglasses have been the undisputed queens of eyewear since last summer, and their influence is not letting up. This season, we’re looking for an upgrade on our tortoiseshell and black variations, and found it with a new palette of lavender, rose, and – our personal favourite – camel.

FERRAGAMO TOTE

$3,450

Under buzzy new creative director Maximilian Davis, Ferragamo is going from strength to strength. We love Davis’ elevated take on the traditional straw tote. Finished in rafia and calfskin leather, this tote maintains the practicality of a beach bag, with an architectural silhouette and cut-out detailing that is unapologetically high fashion. This is a piece to wear again and again, and treasure for seasons to come.

GUCCI BELT

$1,850

Instantly dress up any spring or summer outfit (think, an oversized crochet beach throw, a simple white shirt dress) with Gucci’s new-season chain belt. Evoking the glamour of the ‘80s with a modern, minimal twist, this style features a chunky gold chain and interlocking ‘G’ motif.

PRADA CROCHET BUCKET HAT

$1,460

Why would you wear a bucket hat when you could wear a Prada crochet bucket hat? This playful iteration on the summertime staple offers high fashion credentials alongside a serious dose of sun safety. What’s not to love?

BOTTEGA VENETA SARDINE EARRINGS

$2,020

Bottega Veneta’s creative director Mattieu Blazy has proved adept at making must-have accessories, and this season proves no different. His cult-status ‘Sardine’ earrings are as playful as they are chic, a masterclass in art deco design that will have people looking twice – for the best possible reason.

DIOR SANDALS

$1,190

As far as new-season sandals go, Dior’s ‘Dway’ slide is a serious contender for shoe of the season. We love the romantic motifs of the Dioramour iteration, with its black and white embroidered cotton, and understated heart detailing. Wear yours with your favourite silk beach throw for easy beach-to-dinner dressing. What’s not to love?
