Hermès continues to lead the charge in most-desired handbags as the Geta enters the pack of such leading designs as Birkin and Kelly. With Japanese wooden geta sandals in mind, the newest member of the Hermès family uses its signature leather-sheathed H as a central design principle. The versatile yet stylish adjustable strap allows for both a long or short look. With its modern, sleek structure and perfect symmetry, Geta is bound to be a house staple.
On to No.003! Tom Ford announces the exciting launch of his third timepiece, the No.003. With a sport-inspired design, No.003 continues to pay tribute to elements of the iconic timepiece family (No.001 and No.002), yet keeps its aesthetic minimal with no numeral indexing. “The N.003 exemplifies the craftsmanship and simplicity I was looking for in the next evolution of Tom Ford timepieces,” the designer says. “I wanted to bring the focus back to the elegance of the watch face by stripping back the numerals and emphasizing the clean, sophisticated design.”
