Poppy Lissiman
Best for: Fun pouches How much: From A$110 (S$109) for a clutch
Shop at: www.poppylissiman.com This Aussie designer’s metallic clutches with an “evil eye” glitter motif are often spotted at fashion week. Poppy’s other standout creations: quirky, surrealist-style sun, moon and earth cross-body bags.
Ryan Storer
Best for: Ear cuffs and mismatched earrings
How much: From A$180 for a ring
Shop at: www.ryanstorer.com Since it was launched two years ago, It girls like Miranda Kerr, Cara Delevingne and Georgia May Jagger have been spotted wearing the Sydney-based label’s crystal-embellished ear cuffs. But that’s not all you can get at its online store. We also love the two-tone cuffs and mismatched earrings.
Yazbukey
Best for: Pop art-inspired extras
How much: From $180 for a pair of earrings
Shop at: Tangs at Tangs Plaza How to funk up your tuxedo suit or LBD: Reach for tongue-incheek accessories like the brand’s camera-ready cross-body bags and fun lipstick-shaped earrings.
Benedetta Bruzziches
Best for: Kitschy-cool clutches
How much: From $976 for a shoulder bag
Shop at: www.luisaviaroma.com and www.farfetch.com This Italian label gained traction after its gold-tone Cabaret clutch (shaped like a gift package complete with a bow detail) appeared at the Met Gala in Anne Hathaway’s arms. The brand is also known for its whimsical Magic Mirror clutches and metallic minaudieres in the shape of a cloud. Guaranteed to turn heads, we say!
Lynn Ban
Best for: Glam-punk rings and earrings
How much: From $1,600 for a ring
Shop at: Club 21b This New-York based Singaporean designer is a jeweller to the stars – and we mean megastars. Beyonce, Katy Perry and Rihanna (who, by the way, was her first celebrity client in 2012) have worn Lynn’s accessories on stage, in music videos and even when they’re off duty. She may be famous for her Armour Rings (which look like knuckledusters when stacked), but we say Lynn’s pieces with coloured precious stones – think aquamarine and sapphire – are the ones to team with your festive outfits.
