Summer Harvest
Like a breath of fresh air, the ripening of fruits in the summertime heralds a time of renewal and abundance. In collaboration with Beijing-based avant-garde jewellery label, YVMIN, our limited-edition capsule collection is an ode to the divine feminine and its transformative spirit. Fruit-like silhouettes, soft hues and delicate, nature-inspired details deliver a dreamy feast for the senses — they capture the essence of slow, sun-soaked days and tropical vacations.
Expressing YVMIN’s artful, deconstructed design language with our contemporary, urban aesthetic, this collection features open-toe sandals, a handbag and five playful fruit charms. The Ally ruched slouchy knotted bag is reimagined with a lattice design that resembles climbing vines, onto which the charms can be attached to create a charming fruitscape.
The vine-like design is also featured on the collection’s strappy tie-around sandals, creating a flattering, dainty silhouette. Available in striking silver and refreshing mint sorbet, they will invigorate your summer wardrobe and outfits.
YVMIN x CHARLES & KEITH in Shanghai
To celebrate our collaborative collection with jewellery brand YVMIN, we launched a pop-up store at Gate M in Shanghai against stunning riverside views. Wrapped in a giant pink bow, the store resembled a life-sized box of fruits with a larger-than-life apple as its centrepiece.
Drawing from the charming fruit motifs in the collection, guests at the store opening were treated to refreshing popsicles and temporary tattoos that were inspired by the feminine designs. They also brought home an exclusive phone charm strap and oversized art book as memorabilia.
Capturing the essence of the limited-edition capsule, these guests styled the Ally bag, fruit charms set and strappy tie-around sandals with their favourite summery outfits. Tan Suan clipped her charms onto her necklace for a playful look, while Lau Yu Kim braided hers into her pigtails. The collection complemented different aesthetics effortlessly, pairing well with both DiDi’s sweet gingham dress and Cheri’s edgier ensemble.
YVMIN x CHARLES & KEITH in Sydney
Basking in the warm glow of Ursula’s Paddington, the fruits that inspired the YVMIN x CHARLES & KEITH collection lay in sculptural arrangements across the table. To celebrate the launch of the collection, we gathered our friends for an intimate evening in Sydney, Australia — they dined in outfits that they styled with the fruit charms, Ally bag and vine-like tie-around sandals from the collection.
