Chanel Coco Crush Bracelet
Recently, Chanel released a new Coco Crush campaign with Jennie Kim, and we’re all for it. I adore the line’s highlight, the mini Coco Crush bracelet. Previously, the bangle was much thicker, but now, they’ve released a slim version that’s absolutely stunning. My top pick is the 18k beige gold bracelet, which has a ravishing colour. The design features the brand’s iconic quilted motif and embellished diamonds, giving it a sleek and timeless look that’s perfect for stacking. It’s also super easy to wear as this new mini features the exclusive Coco Twist, an invisible rotating clasp that opens and closes in a single movement.
Not to mention, if you’re looking to find your crush, Chanel has an event at Siam Paragon on the M floor, where visitors can discover the right crush for them. The Crush Story event runs from today until 11 February 2024. – Tipapa Chandarasrivongs, Content Writer
LOEWE Pebble Bucket Bag
We’ve seen this LOEWE bag on the runway from the Men’s Spring Summer 2024 collection to Lisa’s My Only Wish music video and now on the brand’s global ambassador Jamie Dornan’s latest campaign. And let’s not even talk about how many appearances this bag has made with numerous Thai celebrities. It’s like they’re debuting this item as the “It Bag” of the season.
At first, this product only came in one size, but now there’s also the Mini Pebble. The highlight of having a bucket bag, besides being able to put many things in it, is that it’s unisex. Moreover, its adjustable leather strap with LOEWE’s signature pebble embellishment is just the epitome of minimalism. – Aekkachai Angkulthivakorn, Managing Editor
Jacquemus Les Doubles Sandales
I’ve been keeping up with runway shows lately, and although there were many exciting products, one that caught my eye was the Les Doubles Sandales by Jacquemus in the Spring/Summer 24 collection. The design was unique since Simon Porte added two heels into one kitten heel.
I’ve also noticed that Jacquemus’ work has become more innovative and of better quality lately. While I am not sure if these shoes are practical for everyday use, they are stunning and chic and definitely worth buying. But something worth considering is that you will fall on the floor when you put them on. – Pannatorn Tamnipanon, Senior Writer
Pat McGrath’s Porcelain Doll look at Maison Margiela
My next obsession comes from Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week at the Maison Margiela show. Apart from the stunning outfits, Pat McGrath’s porcelain doll makeup caught everyone’s attention- just look at that incredible glass skin. Of course, everybody was curious how this talented artist achieved this look. So, after doing a bit of digging, I found out that it could be the Kryolan Liquid Glass, as this product helps create a glossy, smooth finish. However, McGrath has yet to reveal her secret weapon. – T.C., Content Writer
Kheng Rongtiem
The newly opened dim sum restaurant that only debuted on social media has now become the talk of the town. They’ve changed the infrastructure from a small building in a tiny street in Charoenkrung 30 into a cafe and dim sum restaurant. In the style of a Chinese half-Vietnamese shop, they’ve kept some of the classic decorations but added a touch of modernity. Regarding the food, such as the Chinese buns, the chef has thought of his own recipe, yet he also incorporates his family’s secrets into it. We’ve also experienced many new flavours, like Khao Soi and Kaaprao Basil.
This restaurant is only open for four months. So, if you’re around the neighbourhood during Bangkok Design Week 2024, check out this place as it opens daily from 10 am to 6:30 pm. – A.A., Managing Editor
Longines Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve
This year marks the 70th anniversary of Longines’ famous Conquest watch. As part of the celebration, they have launched a new design inspired by a classic model from the late 1950s. The new timepiece, the Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve watch, highlights its power reserve on the rotating discs on the dial’s centre. Another unique element is the date placement at the 12 o’clock position, decorated with a trapezoidal appliqué. The hour and minute hands are the same colour as the hour markers. They’re also coated with Super-LumiNova, a fluorescent pigment. The Conquest Heritage Central Power Reserve is available in champagne, anthracite, and black. – P.T., Senior Writer
Drinking is best during the day, especially when at brunch. If she's not working, catch her at the gym or socializing with friends. An introvert extrovert at heart. She's a Capricorn.
