Gaston-Louis Vuitton was the grandchild of the late Louis Vuitton, the trunk maker who founded the company that went on to become a global luxury powerhouse. Remembered as a renaissance man and an avid collector, Gaston-Louis is now himself the source of inspiration for the brand’s first fine jewellery line for men: Les Gastons.

Designed by Francesca Amfitheatrof, artistic director for watches and jewellery, the range comprises rings, pendants, necklaces, tags, bracelets and earrings, some of them laser-cut with the maison’s signature monogram. A particular stand-out is a stud in white gold and white diamonds in the shape of – what else – a Louis Vuitton trunk.

2. Ottolenghi x Serax Feast tableware

Chef, restaurateur and cookbook author Yotam Ottolenghi, known for hearty recipes reflecting his Middle Eastern background and his love for vegetables, has now made a foray into tableware. The London-based Israeli chef and the Belgian design company Serax are behind Feast, a collection of colourful plates, bowls, cups, glasses, cutlery and serving stands created in collaboration with Italian artist Ivo Bisignano. The main motifs of the range are an O-shaped brushstroke – standing for Ottolenghi – and a series of abstract vegetable shapes.

3. Chantel Shafie x Nomad Caviar necklace

Caviar and diamonds? Yes, please. Hong Kong-based jeweller Chantel Shafie – a designer known for her striking medallion necklaces and bespoke creations – has joined forces with Nomad Caviar to create this playfully elegant caviar tin charm. The conversation-starter is made from 18k gold, blue enamel and a cluster of sparkling black diamonds.

Those lucky enough to get their hands on one of the limited edition pieces will also find a mother-of-pearl caviar spoon ingrained on the reverse.

4. Diptyque x Hanoia

French fragrance maker Diptyque has a long-standing connection to Vietnam; Yves Coueslant, one of its founders, spent time there as a child. Do Son, one of the company’s signature perfumes, is the result of that upbringing and the brand is now paying homage to that tuberous-based scent with two items created by Hanoi-based Vietnamese craft company Hanoia: a lacquered wooden case with a rattan cover to hold a version of the fragrance decorated with a special pattern, and a woven rattan lid to cover the Tubéreuse candle.

5. Boucheron Quatre collection

The geometric lines and strong shapes of Boucheron’s Quatre collection have become a signature of the Parisian jewellery maison. Launched in 2004 and celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, the range was inspired by Paris’ cobblestones, particularly those in the legendary Place Vendôme, where Boucheron is based.

Timeless and genderless, Quatre designs stand out for their modern appeal and can be dressed down or up. For maximum effect, pair them with a monochrome look such as a simple white top to channel that Parisian je ne sais quoi.

6. Marimekko Unikko anniversary collection

Finnish lifestyle label Marimekko has become synonymous with bold and vibrant prints that adorn everything from T-shirts to tote bags and coffee mugs. The brand’s most recognisable pattern is undoubtedly Unikko, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this year. According to company lore, Marimekko founder Armi Ratia had instituted a ban on floral prints but eventually back-pedalled after seeing the blown-up flowers of Unikko, created in 1964 by designer Maija Isola. The brand intends to celebrate the signature pattern throughout the year.
