'This marks a really exciting moment of growth for our accessories category. At Rixo, we believe accessories are what really make an outfit yours — they bring personality and individuality to a look. This collab is just the beginning of what we hope will be a much bigger story for Rixo accessories,' Orlagh McCloskey, cofounder and creative director, told WWD of the seven-piece, limited-edition collection.
She added that both brands' shared love of vintage design, timeless style and heritage techniques that are reflected through the assortment of handcrafted, woven leather bags and belts. McCloskey said the styles in particular were already true staples within her wardrobe, which inspired the brands to partner together to create their own specialized, artisanal versions.
'These pieces aren't trend-driven or overly branded — they're effortlessly chic, understated but impactful. That's something we really wanted to champion with this collection: the kind of accessories you can wear every day, that feel [like] you, but are still elevated. Dragon Diffusion brought their unmatched craftsmanship and weaving expertise, and we brought the bold, vintage inspired Rixo spirit. The result is something really special — pieces that are versatile, textured, and have that effortless, thrown-together charm we always strive for,' McCloskey said.
Key styles of the Rixo x Dragon Design collection includie the travel-friendly Amoria handbag, available in green, tan and black colorways; the Lucine basket bag, which comes in classic tan and deep brown hues, and the '70s boho-inspired Roxella leather belt in black and tan.
The collection, priced $200 to $520, will be available for preorder starting May 2 on the brand's e-commerce site, and additionally available for purchase starting May 12 at Rixo's stores in London and New York City.

Hysterics at How Dachshund Reacts to Being Told 'No'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A Florida-based dachshund has gained viral attention on Instagram for his over-the-top response to a simple word: "No." In a lighthearted video shared to the platform on May 4 under @moo_in_miami, the small dog named Moo was captured sitting on a couch, repeatedly whining and growling in a high-pitched, almost comical, tone after being told "no" by his unseen owner. The video, captioned "he really said, 'that's cute, try again,'" quickly ignited reactions online from pet owners who could relate to the bout of canine pushback, and has since been liked more than 1 million times. An overlaid text on the video read: "POV: [Point of view] You told your dachshund no." The dog's animated expressions and indignant vocalizations have struck a chord with viewers on Instagram, many of whom said they were left in hysterics by Moo's dramatic protest. Moo's particular reaction also highlights something deeper—and familiar—for anyone who has spent time with a dachshund: stubbornness seems to be part of the lovable breed's DNA. Bred in Germany centuries ago to hunt badgers, dachshunds were designed to be persistent and fearless. Their long bodies and short legs made them ideal for burrowing, but their real strength lies in their temperament. Dachshunds are notoriously determined and vocal, often pushing boundaries and asserting their will in surprisingly bold ways for their size. Moo's hilarious response to being told off is a textbook example of this temperament. While some dog breeds are known for obedience or calm demeanor, dachshunds have cultivated a reputation for being assertive, sometimes to the point of comedy. Owners often describe them as possessing the mindset of a much larger animal, unafraid to stand their ground—especially when they feel slighted. Commenters have shared their own dachshund tales, with one writing: "Dachshunds and the word NO do not compute." "I'm getting dachshund in 8 weeks can't wait," another viewer said, while another added: "Dachshunds will argue with you with such stubbornness until you give in because there's nothing is as stubborn in this world as a dachshund who wants something." "They run the house you know," another said. Newsweek reached out to @moo_in_miami for more information via Instagram. A stock image of a black and tan dachshund on a carpet.

Arise, Sir David Beckham: The Soccer Star Will Be Knighted
It was perhaps the biggest moment of David Beckham's decorated soccer career. England needed to score against Greece in 2001 to qualify for the World Cup, and he stood over a free kick with little time left. He duly bent the ball into the net, setting off paroxysms of joy throughout England. The announcer Gary Bloom spoke for the nation when he shouted, 'Give that man a knighthood!' It took 24 years, but now he's getting one. How do you get a knighthood? In the modern age, knighthoods are conferred by the British royal family upon citizens who have achieved great success in their fields and served their country in one way or another. 'Recipients range from actors to scientists, and from school head teachers to industrialists,' the royal family's website says. It might now add 'impossibly handsome and famous ex-football stars.' Those conferred with a knighthood get the title 'sir.' Let's hear the credentials of Beckham, er, Sir David. Mr. Beckham, 50, was a brilliant soccer player, most memorably for Manchester United and England's national team. His famous right foot had the uncanny ability to curl balls through the air and into the net, inspiring the title of the 2002 film 'Bend it Like Beckham.' His post-football career has included co-ownership of Inter Miami, the Major League Soccer team. He has been a UNICEF ambassador, and his charisma helped London secure hosting duties for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

David Beckham to receive Knighthood from King Charles
British soccer legend David Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday on May 2. File Photo by Rune Hellestad/ UPI | License Photo June 6 (UPI) -- Soccer icon David Beckham will be awarded knighthood next week as part of King Charles' birthday festivities. Sources told the BBC, Sky Sports and The Times about the plan Thursday night. Beckham, 50, will take on the title of Sir, while his wife, Victoria Beckham, will be known as Lady Beckham. Beckham, who has long served as an ambassador for the King's Foundation and UNICEF, was first nominated for knighthood in 2011. The Inter Miami co-owner, who retired from soccer in 2013, was appointed as an OBE -- Order of the British Empire -- in 2003. Beckham appeared in 115 games for the England men's national team. He was captain during 59 of those appearances. He is the only English men's player to score at three different World Cups. Beckham also won six Premier League crowns while at Manchester United before starring at Real Madrid and moving to the MLS to play for the Los Angeles Galaxy. He later spent time with AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain. King Charles, 76, was born Nov. 14, 1948, but will celebrate his official birthday at June's traditional Trooping the Color ceremony.
