Vintage Reborn

A piece that stands the test of time is worth hunting for. From vintage YSL jewels to the Cartier Crash watch, these are pieces as wearable today as when they were first released, and are increasingly hard-to-find (and collectible) as a result. Weaving them into a contemporary wardrobe, stacked over current collections, vintage jewellery and timepieces can add storied statement to a look.

Take the Cartier Crash watch, said to be inspired by a distorted timepiece bought into the London store for repair in 1967 following a car accident. Or the iconic Givenchy G-link logo chains, dating back to the sixties, when the House of Givenchy began creating costume jewellery. Pioneered by Audrey Hepburn in her films, the actress continued to inspire many lasting designs of Hubert de Givenchy. This is where the magic lies, and in how they're revisited today.
