The power pairing: Bvlgari’s Serpenti Shades & Bag

Why change something when the going is good? The jeweller’s signature bag line, the Serpenti, has become as covetable as its gems because it follows the same fun-meets-glamorous look. Now, it’s doing the same with its sunglasses that match the bags from colour (the latest include metallics and powder pink) to the scalelike enamel clasp (translated into subtle decorative details) to the all-round more youthful update. Wear them together for the new matchy-matchy. Acetate sunglasses with enamel, $405 each – IJ
