Accessorise softly: bows, ribbons, and knit bags

Accessories are the punctuation of an outfit. A look without them is a sentence that trails off. A look with the right ones is a declaration.

A ribbon tied through a ponytail or woven around a braid is the easiest way to look like you planned your whole morning around a photo shoot. Use satin, velvet, or a thin leather cord.

Bows are not just for hair. Tie one at the waist of a slip dress, loop it through a tote handle, or use it to cinch a cardigan at the back. Instant silhouette.

Our knit bags are intentionally oversized. They look best when they look a little bit full: a book, a lip balm, a letter, a sweater spilling out the top.

One rule: never more than two 'sweet' details at once. Ribbon + bow is enough. Add a pearl and you risk costume. Subtract one and you're editorial.
