Simkhai Pre-Fall 2025 Collection
Jonathan Simkhai spends so much time in his boutiques that 'people think I'm the store manager sometimes,' he said of frequenting his shops in Beverly Hills, Dallas, New York, and Southampton. The visits give the LA-based designer a chance to see which pieces are resonating with customers, and the offerings they hope to see in the future. His takeaways for pre-fall 2025 included a desire for genuine leather, an enthusiasm for pre-styled looks, and a growing interest in shoes and handbags. 'We were playing with a lot of vegan leather, historically,' Simkhai said, 'but a lot of our customers were saying they wanted real leather; they wanted pieces that felt like they would last longer and felt more valuable, and they were willing to pay more for leather.' To that end, Simkhai fashioned barrel-leg trousers in brown and black calfskin (a shape he also does in denim). The pants are among pieces that feel decidedly fall, though much of the collection—an asymmetrical blazer vest, long-sleeve dresses with accordion-pleated skirts, and open knits—can work from June to January. Elsewhere, in an effort to take the guesswork out of styling, Simkhai offered a range of ruched and layered dresses marked by off-the-shoulder silhouettes and hip embellishments. Clothing has long been at the core of the Simkhai brand—'I just really wanted to get the ready-to-wear solid before I launched accessories,' he said—but the label is now all-in on both handbags and shoes. For pre-fall, Simkhai's shell clutch arrives in an updated, rectangular shape, and leather weaves through a metal ring on a pair of mules the designer described as 'wavy and organic, but still sculpted and sensual.' Though Simkhai never envisioned accessories as a key category, his customers keep asking for them. 'I love listening to the customer and doing what they ask for,' he said.

This Coach Outlet bag looks way more expensive than it is — and shoppers are obsessed!
If you've been looking to upgrade your handbag game without blowing your budget, Coach Outlet quietly dropped a deal you won't want to miss. The Erin Shoulder Bag, a sleek, zip-top leather bag that nails quiet luxury vibes, is currently on sale for just under $400 — that's 35 per cent off its original price of $610. Shoppers are snapping it up fast and it's easy to see why. Between the timeless design and the major markdown, it's the kind of bag that makes you look like you spent way more than you actually did. Pictured here in Pebbled Leather/Gold/Chalk, the Erin is available in five additional colourways. Four styles of the Erin Shoulder Bag are made from buttery-soft polished pebble leather, giving it that elevated texture you'd typically find on bags triple the price, while two styles are made from the brand's signature canvas and print. Whichever material and colourway you choose, the Erin has a minimalist silhouette that feels both modern and timeless, plus a comfortable strap drop that can be worn as a shoulder bag or tucked under your arm for that '90s model-off-duty feel. It pairs just as effortlessly with jeans and sneakers as it does with a dress and blazer, making it the kind of staple you'll reach for constantly. We also love that it's understated with no in-your-face logos or flashy hardware here. It's the kind of bag that quietly lets the world know, 'I have good taste' without screaming it. Inside, the zip closure opens to a surprisingly roomy interior, complete with a zip pocket and slip pocket to keep your essentials organized. Translation: it's chic, practical and versatile, three things we rarely get in one bag. 👜 20+ reviews ⭐ 4.9/5 stars 🏅 "My everyday bag!" With dozens of glowing reviews, this Coach Outlet staple is quickly becoming a shopper favourite. One happy customer raved, "It's the perfect size! The leather feels high-end and the style is so classic. I get compliments on it all the time!' One fan also said, "Love it! It's the perfect size! The leather is so nice. The colour is so pretty. This is going to be my everyday bag for spring and summer." Pictured here in Signature Canvas/Gold/Tan/Brown While most shoppers are thrilled with their purchase, one did note, "The straps are not very thick or wide. I feel like over time, that may become an issue with durability." Between the elevated design, quality materials and the price point, the Erin Shoulder Bag is one of those rare finds that feels like a splurge, without the buyer's remorse. Coach Outlet bags tend to sell out quickly, especially during major markdowns like this. If you've been on the hunt for a versatile, wear-everywhere bag that looks like it cost hundreds more, now's the time to add this one to cart. Shop the Gallery Tote Bag in 19 colourways. Shop the Racer Belt Bag in five colours. Shop the Gallery Tote Bag in 18 colourways. Shop the City Bucket Bag in nine colourways. Shop the Mini Jamie Camera Bag in 17 colourways.
