Always one step ahead in style, you can expect the unexpected with these must-have brands: Golden Goose, Balenciaga, A.P.C.

Golden Goose's leitmotiv is plural: on the one hand, the search for absolute quality and respect for know-how, on the other, the desire to reveal, through handmade pieces, the audacity of imperfect manufacturing. The manufacturing defect then becomes an integral part of a vivacious style, which is aimed at the younger generation as well as others. Worn leather, slightly stained, seams a little irregular, Golden Goose sneakers carry high the motto: energy before perfection.

A.P.C., the promise of a style that is both elegant and casual, composed of essential pieces subtly revisited. But in fact, what does A.P.C. stand for ? These three letters alone sum up the spirit of the house: Atelier de Production et de Création. A brand that gives equal importance to the artisanal and artistic dimensions of fashion creation. Tote bags, clutches, purses... At A.P.C., leather goods are available for men and women in all shapes and sizes. From the fabric tote bag to the full leather satchel, the brand's pieces represent the efficiency and sobriety that have made its success. What do they have in common? A careful work of materials, especially leather, and a precise selection of colors in a spectrum of natural, contemporary or vintage shades.

Balenciaga shoes are made from only the softest leathers and the best natural materials, with textured effects and touches of colour to bring modernity to its designs. The perfect mix? A contemporary 'fit with iconic sneakers or feminine sandals for an extravagant feel.
