In cuffs: Since opening its first store in Hong Kong this summer, Swiss brand Sal y Limon has been making a splash with its bold, colourful, stackable cuffs. The neon ones are popular but we like the more earthy tones of the tribal-inspired Metallic Glamour collection (above; HK$320 to HK$640). Sal y Limon is available at The One, 100 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 3169 3680.

Making weaves We can't get enough of these woven nappa Bottega Veneta crossbody bags in "brique" (the red one) and "nero" (HK$11,800 each). These items work well for both casual and more glamorous occasions and, although pricey, they will last forever. Bottega Veneta is in Times Square, Causeway Bay, tel: 2506 3106.

Sheer sensuality There has been a backlash against the austere, minimalist fashion that dominated catwalks a few years ago, with designers embracing bold embellishments and louder styles. And if there's one collection in particular that is sending this message to the world it is Dolce & Gabbana's autumn-winter 2013 range. Unabashed in their use of lace, the duo went all out for sensuality. Sure to turn heads are this red lace dress (right; HK$51,400) and the elegant black number (above left; also HK$51,400). Then there is the stunning Mosaic dress (above centre) with breathtakingly rich detailing and an even more breathtaking price tag: HK$135,800. Dolce & Gabbana is in Pacific Place, Admiralty, tel: 2525 5815.
