101 Ideas Born Adventurer

Composed, nonchalant and comfortable in the environment she explores, the Bally woman fuels the spirit of adventure with an easygoing approach to modern dressing

For FW19, Bally takes inspiration from its pioneering Swiss history, with references to the spirited mountain lifestyle. The collection, aptly named Peak Outlook, is a celebration of Swiss heritage and pays homage to the iconic Swiss Alps. Chunky knit cardigans and scarves are scattered with nostalgic Swiss motifs such as the delicate edelweiss flower, while seasonal novelties that include Mini Swiss Hearts (inspired by brass heart-shaped plaques typically found on traditional cowbells) are featured extensively on bags. Hiking boots also play a central role this season, evoking a complete and emotional connection to the mountains.

The new Harriet bag makes its debut this season. Available in two sizes, the bag introduces a soft and supple look and features a unique top handle with cross-body conversion. Cecyle’s instantly recognizable half-moon design also lends its form to this exciting new addition at Bally.

A CLASS ACT

Celebrate color and craft with Coach’s latest collaboration with prolific textile designer, Kaffe Fassett

Coach strikes the perfect balance between structure and cool informality with the Troupe family. Stylish, refined, with an eye-catching look to boot, the bags feature the artwork of textile designer Kaffe Fassett, who is known for his patchwork of explosive colors. A true genius of colour and print, Fassett brings an authentic and whimsical spirit to the collection. Vibrant colours, merged with psychedelic florals in kaleidoscopic patterns, portray free-spirited energy that is bold, youthful and cool. In addition to the streamlined silhouette and colours, the hardware gets an update, adding a new twist on Coach’s classic turnlock.
