The Class Of Y2K

Indulge in warm nostalgia by revisiting the fashion trends from the late ‘90s and early ‘00s

A Preppy Upgrade

Preppy style had a big moment during the turn of the last century. Keep this classic look fresh by infusing it with a cool and edgy aesthetic. Update schoolroom icons like penny loafers and Mary Janes with oversized uppers and chunky platform soles. Embrace plaid in bold, contemporary colourways and reach for bags with sophisticated sculptural silhouettes.

Bright And Bold

The Y2K era was one of optimism and exuberance — and this mood definitely manifested in the fashion of that time. Impossible-to-miss prints, bold, statement-making colours and glossy textures expresses the hope for and expectation of a bright future. Channel this positive worldview and make a big visual impact by stepping out with our Harmonee four handle handbag in fuchsia or in the Marcy furry flat mules in tiger print.

School Of Punk

The pop-punk subculture was a major influence in fashion during the late ‘90s and early ‘00s. Coinciding with a revival of collegiate style, the resulting hybrid trend of “punk academia” features striking metallic embellishments, unconventional proportions and high-shine finishes. Our beige Verity chain-link sculptural bag is a grown-up expression of this youthful aesthetic, while the elegant Perline chunky chain loafers in glossy black gives a subtle nod to the heydays of pop-punk.
