Valentino teamed up with Porter, the Japanese maker of practical nylon bags, for a range of accessories that debuted at the Rome-based couture house’s spring/summer 2024 men’s collection.

Marrying functionality and high fashion, the design of the pieces combines the codes of each brand. Valentino Garavani motifs such as the V logo of the Locò bags and the Toile Iconographe pattern in jacquard are both present, while the lining of each bag comes in the iconic Rosso Valentino, the house’s own shade of red.

2. Simone Rocha x Crocs

Shoe giant Crocs is not new to collaborations – from Balenciaga to Justin Bieber and Post Malone, the company has teamed up with its fair share of brands and celebrities. The latest designer to work with Crocs on a special range is London-based, Irish-born Simone Rocha. For her spring/summer 2024 collection, Rocha adorned three Crocs models with signature motifs such as pearls, crystals and jet beads. Some pairs come with built-in Rocha-embellished socks.

3. Fendi flip

If you’re looking for a bag that marries functionality and design you’d be hard pressed to find a better option this season than the Fendi Flip. The colour-blocked bag transforms from a roomy shopper into a clutch thanks to its clever construction that “flips” from one side to the other. Versatile, practical and elegant, the bag is embossed with an “F” on its upper corner and also comes in a cute nano version.

4. Manolo Blahnik spring 2024 collection

Sex and the City’s Carrie Bradshaw would certainly approve of Manolo Blahnik’s bold spring 2024 collection. Over the course of the smash-hit series, the designer became the shoe-obsessed character’s favourite label.

Those looking to lift their shoe game to rival Bradshaw’s should check out the footwear maestro’s latest edit, which is influenced variously by nature, art, architecture and Blahnik’s Mediterranean heritage. In the case of these striped beauties, the glamour of the French Riviera was the inspiration, producing this parasol-inspired detailing in cotton and leather.
