Hermès Birkin 35 Himalaya, at Collector Square
Some pieces are bought for a season. Others are bought for a lifetime, and the very best of them only become more desirable with time. This edit is about the second kind: the rarest, most beautifully made pieces our partners have to offer at this moment, from an icon of the handbag world to the kind of shearling outerwear that defines a winter wardrobe.
Each one is chosen for craftsmanship first. Prices are refreshed weekly from each partner's listing, and rare pieces in particular can sell quickly.
01. Hermès Birkin 35 Himalaya, Collector Square
Few objects carry the mystique of the Himalaya Birkin. This 35cm example is crafted in white Niloticus crocodile, finished with palladium-plated hardware and a dove-grey leather lining, and is offered pre-owned through Collector Square, the specialist in authenticated luxury.
Brunello Cucinelli's shearling coat is winter dressing at its most enveloping. The soft, smooth hide catches the light with a subtle shimmer, and a tonal belt draws in the generous volume at the waist.
03. Brunello Cucinelli Sheepskin Coat, Luciana Bari Boutique
A wrap-around sheepskin coat with a matching belt to define the waist, a versatile high collar, visible front buttons and a refined tab at the collar. It is the kind of coat that quietly makes every outfit beneath it look considered.
An aviator jacket with a wide collar fastened by leather and metal buckles. Its horizontal bands draw on Fendi's 1967 Pequin stripe, creating a trompe-l'oeil effect that plays with the texture of the shearling.
A sophisticated brown bomber from Brunello Cucinelli, made in premium materials that strike a perfect balance between comfort and polish. Refined details make it as natural with tailoring as it is with denim.
Prada's shearling leather jacket pairs elegance with function: a central zip and snap fastening, a shirt collar and ribbed knit cuffs. It is a timeless piece that will look as right in ten years as it does today.
Fluid and airy, this long gown in silk georgette pairs a leopard print with blue polka dots for a play of contrasting patterns. It is softly draped at the bust and arms, and finished with ruffles that follow the silhouette.
