Between Louis Vuitton’s whimsical collaboration with Fornasetti to Francesco Risso’s marvelously large handbags from Marni, this season’s slew of accessories are interesting and enticing; some of them are even surprisingly convenient.

Despite their artistic appeal, Valentino’s texturized white PVC wellies could take on an unfortunate forecast, no problem. While Prada’s leather driving gloves come complete with a petite zip pouch if you wish to keep something small on hand (literally). And Miu Miu’s crocheted knit headscarves and masks will add a joyful pop of color to your neutral fall wardrobe, all the while keeping you warm and toasty.

Soft Focus

This S.R. STUDIO. LA. CA. bag joyously resembles something out of a childhood toy box and is the perfect vessel for fall blooms. Plus, it’s a worthy companion for this slinky Alexander McQueen knit dress. JW Anderson’s voluminous dress is grounded with a pair of stompy Valentino rain boots.

Spun Out

Don’t be fooled by its homespun, seemingly hodgepodge coziness; this two-toned balaclava is pure, immaculate joy, as are the twisted, crocheted face masks worn as a bandeau top. Also, Bottega Veneta’s roller skates are heaven on wheels.
