Urban Outfitters x Laura Ashley
Heritage British brand Laura Ashley had somewhat of a renaissance a few years ago, with the hyperfeminine aesthetic of floral prints and babydoll silhouettes seen at Cecilie Bahnsen and Batsheva paying homage to the mum-approved mainstay. Since then, cool girls everywhere have been searching for vintage Laura Ashley pieces, while Urban Outfitters has collaborated with the brand to create the sweetest capsule collections. The second drop arrived last week, and we'll be purchasing the balloon-sleeved blouses and prairie dresses to inject some romance into our winter wardrobe.

Mulberry's First 100% Sustainable Bag
Our favourite maker of luxury plus-ones, Mulberry has launched its first 100% sustainable handbag. What does that mean exactly? Well, the Portobello bag is made entirely in the UK at the brand's carbon-neutral Somerset factories, uses leather that's a byproduct of food production and is rated by a gold-rated tannery, and is stitched with Epic EcoVerde thread, a recycled polyester fibre. Creative director Johnny Coca looked to the functionality of the plastic bag in creating the elevated everyday tote, which is made to last.

Brora x Save the Children
Luxury Scottish wool brand Brora has teamed up with Save the Children to create a statement scarf that wouldn't look out of place in Lenny Kravitz's wardrobe. Partnering with Helena Bonham Carter, Laura Bailey and Erin O'Connor, the scarves, reading 'Phenomenal Woman', take inspiration from the Suffragette movement. Eighty-eight pence from every £1 made will go to Save the Children to celebrate the charity's 100th anniversary. We'll be keeping ours on our desk chair to see us through the rest of office heating wars season.

15 Years of Dover Street Market
Undeniably the coolest retail space going, Dover Street Market is celebrating its 15th birthday this year. Opening in 2004 on Mayfair's Dover Street and conceived by Comme des Garçons' genius Rei Kawakubo, the brand is now global, with stores in Tokyo, Beijing, Singapore, New York and LA. To mark the anniversary, DSM invited collaborators from Molly Goddard to Gucci to create iconic pieces from the past and present in monochrome. This Burberry trench is first on our list.

Stella Luna x [RED]
Footwear label Stella Luna has teamed up with [RED], the nonprofit that raises awareness and funds to help end HIV/AIDS. Through collaborations which – you guessed it – result in red products, Stella Luna's partnership has produced two limited edition pieces: the turbo kicks, Lucien Lace-Up, and the party season shoe, the Crystal Chain Sandal. One hundred percent of the funds raised will go directly to campaigners in sub-Saharan Africa, focusing on countries with high rates of HIV.
