 Eve Wellness’s Libido Quiz

Eve Wellness exists to end the taboo around sex and periods. This quiz was created to encourage people with periods to check in on their libido as it relates to their hormones and to feel no shame in that exploraiton. The brief was to capture attention and get women excited about taking control of their sexual health.

Louis Vuitton’s LV Pont 9

It’s a rare but special occasion that one comes across an accessory that is an instant classic. An investment piece that is unique, wearable, elegant, and destined to be worn for generations to come; passed down with the attentive care of a great heirloom. The LV Pont 9 bag from Nicholas Ghesquière’s Louis Vuitton is one such piece. 

For decades, many have sought after the chic aloofness unique to Parisienne women and while that is an alchemy that won’t be replicated, this bag brings you ever closer. Its rounded square design pays homage to its namesake, Paris’s Pont Neuf bridge - the oldest bridge in Paris and one that has continued to stand proud while its neighbours along the Seine and throughout the city were replaced.

Available in neutral shades of classic noir, creme, and sunset gold, a more modern interpretation sees colourways of rose dahlia and bleu orage - all of which are hand crafted from lightly padded calfskin, and finished with a 1930’s archival logo - on the front and on the strap - reimagined by Ghesquière himself. Inside, practicality takes over with two compartments and two pockets so the interior compartments support the structure of the façade, keeping your belongings well organised. 

Because this bag is a pillar of the considered design expected from a house that has spent 150 years crafting luxury leather, every detail is well thought out, including the floral motif magnetic closure, recognisable to Louis Vuitton fans from their iconic infinity logo prints. Each bag has a colourful lining that contrasts the bag’s exterior - like a secret between you and the designer.

Isle of Eden

Sustainable sunglass brand Isle of Eden has debuted three new designs with the unveiling of its covetable third collection. Bound to be favourites over the summer season, the new styles see classic silhouettes reinvented with modern flair and flattering-on-everyone colourways. As with all their styles, the new three are made from sustainable acetate; derived from wood and cotton pulp and have the ‘wearable attitude’ aesthetic we’ve come to covet from the Auckland-based brand. For added feel-good factor, with every pair sold, 6L of litter is cleaned up from New Zealand beaches, in support of Sustainable Coastlines.
