Hat tricks The wide-brimmed hat has been in vogue since that whole bohemian 1970s trend came back in. We like these colourful options from Maison Michel (above; HK$4,600 each) with metallic detailing on the brim. They are available at On Pedder, 16 Queen's Road Central, tel: 2118 3489.

Precious cargo Family-owned Hermès enjoys a stellar reputation afforded to few in the luxury goods industry. The French brand's craftsmanship and small production volumes mean its coveted bags are, even at these sky-high prices, often out of stock. The calfskin mini Berline (above; HK$49,300) showcases Hermès' sandal-making roots with padded leather sections. The brand's print silk scarves are perhaps just as famous and this season we are lusting after the Tous les Bateaux du Monde scarf (below right; HK$3,800) and the Brides Fleuries Precious scarf in washed-out silk twill (below left; HK$29,700). Hermès is in The Galleria, 9 Queen's Road Central, tel: 2525 5900.
