The UltraLuxe List
THE COLLECTION:
Celine’s La Collection De Saint-Tropez
Another reason to love Celine – the brand's latest capsule is dedicated to the nonchalant vibes of Saint-Tropez. The collection features the likes of the Triomphe mules in gold calfskin, a billowy silk lamé dress and a floral guipure lace jacket – there’s everything from oversized striped shirts to utility dresses and iconic bags to choose from. Quiet luxury never looked so good.

THE LIMITED-EDITION LIPSTICKS:
Hermès Rouge Hermès SS23
Hermès’s latest beauty launch introduces three new ultra-summery limited edition shades to the existing Rouge Hermès Lipstick Collection. Designed by Pierre Hardy – creator of Beauty objects and creative director of Hermès shoes and jewellery, it introduces a theme of stripes. The brand explains that the lipsticks aim to evoke a seaside-centric feel – imagine deck chairs and a sunny colour-scheme. When it comes to formula, they glide on with ease, and maintain a glossy shine with warm, sun-kissed undertones. A fitting addition to your spring/summer make-up kit – we expect they’ll fast become a year-round staple.
