Prada Buckle medium leather handbag with belt
The moment I laid eyes on the Prada Buckle during their FW24 show, I knew that this item would be this year’s It-bag! Its sleek lines and refined details are the epitome of Prada’s signature aesthetic. This leather with a nappa interior perfectly encapsulates the brand’s iconic style in a design that’s both practical and sophisticated. Yet what truly sets the Prada Buckle apart is its interchangeable belt, which adds a contemporary twist to its multifaceted silhouette. And let’s talk about that lettering logo, glistening in 22-karat gold leaf – it’s honestly the epitome of modern luxury, effortlessly balancing simplicity with craftsmanship and functionality with pure elegance. –Tipapa Chandarasrivongs, Content Writer

Puma Palermo
Back in the 80s, Puma’s Palermo kicks used to reign supreme amongst the youth, a stylish tribute to the vibrant capital of Sicily. Originally making its debut on the football field, this iconic footwear boasted a sleek silhouette, distinctive side straps, and rubber soles. Fast forward to today, Puma has preserved every detail of this model. However, they’ve revitalised this classic with vivid colours to align with contemporary trends. Just a few days ago, the brand opened Southeast Asia’s first-ever PUMA Palermo pop-up in centralwOrld. – Pannatorn Tamnipanon, Senior Writer

Goyard Anjou
Everywhere I look, I see people carrying mini-sized Goyard Anjou bags. While Goyard has long been synonymous with luxury, its resurgence has been nothing short of spectacular in the last two years, due to the quiet luxury trend. Before this model, everyone was obsessed with the oversized Saint Louis tote. However, right now it’s all about the Goyard Anjou. It’s easy to carry around and can be worn comfortably over the shoulder. This bag also fits quite a lot of things. Not to mention, it’s reversible, so the bag can be carried on both sides. – P.T., Senior Writer

Since its drop at the start of the month, I’ve been obsessed with this track. Whether I’m driving my car, strolling down the street, to even when I’m barely awake in the morning, “we can’t be friends” has become my personal soundtrack that’s on a continuous loop. The lyrics, melody, visuals, the meaning, everything is just so relatable. It’s such a powerful song that captures so many emotions. –T.C., Content Writer
Cindy Chao Black Label Masterpiece II Pamir Brooch
CINDY CHAO The Art Jewel has come back to Thailand once again, organising a super exclusive collection viewing. But for the first time ever, the brand has brought the Black Label Masterpieces collection to showcase in Thailand. The piece that caught our eye the most was the Black Label Masterpiece II Pamir Brooch, a brooch in the shape of a tree with branches spreading all around. Inspired by the Pamir Mountains, this brooch perfectly encapsulates Eastern and Western cultures. It is decorated with 5,786 rare gemstones and the only person who has worn this glistening beauty on her chest is actress Michelle Yeoh. – P.T., Senior Writer
