Cute City Style

Marc by Marc Jacobs has recently released a whole slew of updates to already popular styles and our favourite is this Natasha bag, which has gotten a quirky upgrade by way of a golden bird embellishment. The finely pebbled grain of the leather on the Natasha keeps it smooth and sleek enough to maintain its urban appeal and there's plenty of warm gold-toned hardware to keep the look simultaneously classy and a little rock 'n' roll. Wear it downtown with spray-on skinny jeans and a boyish blazer.

Price RMB 2,870. Web: www.marcjacobs.com

Wang’s Woolens

Uma Wang is China’s queen of knitwear and we are in love with the textures and shapes in her current collection. A headliner at Shanghai's most recent fashion week, Wang began her career in Europe a few years ago and has made a name for herself overseas as one of the new generation of young Chinese designers who are gunning for high-end quality, rather than derivative quantity. Her recent move back to China has us thanking the heavens because there’s nothing we want more this winter than to warm up by wearing one of Wang’s woolen wonders.

Love Locher’s

They say little girls are made from sugar and spice and everything nice, but as they grow up, let’s just say that most girls get a bit grimier with age. These necklaces from French design atelier Locher’s are equal parts sweet and seditious, for nice girls who are also a little bit naughty.

Price: RMB 460 (per necklace). Web: http://lochers.com
