Rattle the cage The prints and colour combinations of the autumn-winter Kotur accessories collection have been ramped up, with crystal-encrusted clutches featuring bold geometric shapes and playful motifs set against satin and velour. As ever, Kotur's classics are out in force: clutches that blend precious metals with embossed snakeskin and birdcage-inspired evening bags. We love the Margo black and gold snakeskin clutch (above right; HK$3,060) as well as La Cage Aux Folles with brocade pouch and tassle (above left; HK$9,300), stunning accompaniments to a classic gown or cocktail dress. The new collection is available at koturltd.com.

Flap happy No one is going to accuse Céline's Belt bag of reinventing the wheel but this elegant pre-autumn line channels the label's classic aesthetic with a classy front flap and knotted strap. The bag is available in calfskin, felt, python and crocodile in a demure, autumnal colour palette. We love it in both navy and cream calfskin (left; HK$20,500) and the vampier burgundy crocodile (below right; HK$255,000). Céline is in The Landmark, Central, tel: 2525 1281.
Funky feet Louis Vuitton’s autumn-winter collection laughs in the face of subtlety – we’re talking flamboyance of the Moulin Rouge and Dita Von Teese variety. Curved heels, python skin and diamante detailing define the collection and ankle-high strap stilettos are a favourite this season. We love the pixie python ankle boots (bottom left; HK$17,100) as a tomboyish complement to a feminine frock, as well as the chic suede LV embellished evening slippers (bottom right; HK$17,100). Louis Vuitton is in The Landmark, tel: 8100 1182.
