The 29 Most Talked-About Luxury Buys for Fall, Period (2024)

Bottega Veneta

Andiamo Small Intreccio Top-Handle Bag

From viral images of Jacob Elordi to a stamp of approval by A$AP Rocky, Bottega Veneta's Andiamo bag is unquestionably in the lead this season—if not the year at large. Defined by its practicalshopping-tote shape, the name literally means "let's go" in Italian and is the epitome of a workhorse bag. Now, all eyes are on this shade of deep black cherry that the brand is calling Barolo, which I recently learnedwas already sold out in all of Europe—no doubt causing it to only spike in demand.

Loewe

Anagram Appliquéd High-Rise Wide-Leg Jeans

Quiet luxury may be in the lead this year, but there's still a growing appetite for statement pieces that bring a lot of look. We can always count on Loewe to deliver here withitssignature cheekiness. Case in point?Its anagram-logo jeans with bold contrast stitching at the knee.

Adidas x Wales Bonner

Samba Sneakers

This yearhas been filled with droves of designer collaborations (Rabanne x H&M, Miu Miu x New Balance, Simon Miller x Mango), but none have had the impact that Adidas and Wales Bonner have. The duo have been behind the buzziest sneakers all year, and their latest launch, a pair of Sambas in a rich burgundy suede with cream-colored stripes, is equally as covetable.

Bottega Veneta

Geometric Acetate & Metal Alloy Aviator Sunglasses

Bottega Veneta's just-launched sunglasses are already the talk of the town. They're an oversize retro aviator shape with warm-tined lenses andhave already made cameos on Kendall Jenner and Jacob Elordi.

Miu Miu

Silk Chiffon Midi Skirt

OnMiu Miu's F/W 23 runway, micro polka-dot printslittered a number of sheer separates and halter dresses throughout the collection. The retro appeal of these printsisclearly resonating as this sheer skirt, in particular, has become one of the best-selling items once the collection landed in the market this fall.

Loewe

Squeeze Medium Leather Shoulder Bag

There's nothing usual about the Loewe Squeeze Bag, but that's exactly the point. Crafted with scrunched detailing, a jewelry-like donut chain, and a squishy handlefrom which the bag derives its name, the Squeeze is simply teeming with It-bag potential.Made from an extraordinarily softnappa lambskin leather, it was introduced on the F/W 23 runwayand consequently featured in the campaign with Loewe ambassador Taylor Russell.

Khaite

Romee Open-Back Draped Merino Wool Maxi Dress

Designer Catherine Holstein understands the power of doing less. This merino wool maxi dress doesn't have to shout to be heard: the beauty is all in the details like its high neck andpleated skirt that is made with movement in mind. Coupled with the alluring open back, this is a piece to invest in now and enjoy for years (and seasons) to come.

Saint Laurent

Oversize Lambskin Leather Bomber Jacket

Saint Laurent's Anthony Vaccarello understands the balance between hard and soft. While the F/W 23 runway was filled with plenty of delicate silk tanks, it also featured tough leather aviator jackets and sharp-shouldered blazers. The leather jackets, in particular, are a work of art with their perfectly lived-in distressing that rivals even the rarest vintage find. Countless imitations have popped up since, but this bomber jacket remains the blueprint for all the best fall outerwear.

Miu Miu

55mm Patent Leather Multi-Buckle Slingbacks

If there's one Miu Miu item that everyone is after right now, it'sundoubtedly the strappy patent-leather slingbacks with tiny buckles. My entire Instagram feed is flooded with cool snaps of the shoes, and I'm certainly not immune to their pull—I already put myself on the waiting list for a pair in crimson, although if they continue to be sold out, I may have to pull the trigger on the black. As tends to happen with It pieces from this brand, I think this style of kitten-heel pumps will become the defining shoes of winter 2023.

Saint Laurent

Glossed-Leather Belt

It's not hard to see that belts have taken a prized spot in the wardrobes of fashion people this season as designers have elevated the once-boring item to new levels of cool. One such example is this runway style from Saint Laurent which features a barely there logo and sleek square hardware.

Ferragamo

Hug Medium Leather Shoulder Bag

There are few bags thatachieve It status right away, and the Ferragamo Hug bag is undoubtedly one of them. From the moment it made its debut on the fall/winter 2023 runway in Milan, we knew thetop-handle style was destined for fame, and much like the other accessories that creative director Maximillian Davis has put forth since hisarrival at the Italian house, we were right.Namedthe Hug because of theembracing effect of itsshape, the bag isa modern-day homage toa classic satchel bag and comes in two distinct iterations: atop-handle and clutch bag that both come in Ferragamo signatures black andbright scarlet. The latter has already become a celebrity favorite,counting Kylie Jenner and Tracee Ellis Ross among its fans.

Burberry

Appliquéd Belted Checked Cotton-Gabardine Trench Coat

Agmes

Large Astrid Cuff

Big bangles and cuffs may be the It jewelry pieces of the moment, but New York–based label Agmes has been perfectingits sculptural styles for years now. The wavy Astrid Cuff, especially when coupled with the Jean Sterling Cuff,is an insider favorite. J.Crew'sOlympia Gayotis a repeat wearer of hers, proving just how well the cuffs can elevate any outfit.

Tory Burch

Pierced Slingback

Everyone and their mother wants these Tory Burch shoes, and that's a fact. First came theslingback flats adorned with a silver "piercing," then came the mule variation on the shoes, and we've already seen a preview of the next iteration, Mary Jane flats,on the spring 2024 runway. The brand is in the midst of what many are callinga Toryssance, andthe piercedflatperfectly capture the sleek and sophisticatednew era for the American house.

Soft Margaux 15 Leather Tote Bag

First introduced in its winter 2023 runway, The Row Margaux bag isrecalls the classic satchel shape of aBirkinbut in a modern silhouette that'sclean and hardware-freeto align with The Row's core codes.If Jane Birkin is the poster child for wearing her Birkinwith abandon, stuffing in all her essentials and provinghow good the satchel looks when its been used, then the Margaux Tote's slouchier look is a modern-day answer to the need for a luxury bag thatis best whenusedrather than preserved.

From the Prada runway to the market, these are theshoes that everyone in fashion is talking about (and shopping for) right now.

Its built-in scarf drapes elegantly around your neckand features whipstitching and fringe for a hand-made effect.

In its Q3 report, Lyst named the Mary Jane version of Margiela's storied family ofTabi shoes as a top 10 hottest buy. We can't help but agree, what with the rise of all manner of fancy flats this season and the exclusive nature of owning a pair of Tabis that many fashion people describe as being part of a members-only club.

Brown Bessette Headband

Sophie Buhai's Bessette headband is theclosest re-creationwe've seen yet ofthe kind Carolyn Bessette-Kennedyused to favor in the '90s. The thick acrylic style comes in a range of colors, but the chestnut brown Burl optionperhaps comes closest to Bessette-Kennedy's.
