The Best New Arrivals for Women at Harrods This Month

Founder and creative director of L’Objet Elad Yifrach has jewellery makers in his lineage – so his latest collaboration with the queen of diamonds, Jessica McCormack, is one that just makes sense. The duo have come together to create a collection of jewel-like pieces for the table, including a porcelain shell-shaped caviar bowl lined in 24-karat gold, elegant flutes and a braided-handle cutlery collection.

Fforme founder Frances Howie grew up in New Zealand – but her early affection for New York City began after watching Whit Stillman’s Metropolis. Fforme’s AW26 collection takes inspiration from the film’s 1980s debutantes, with velvet dresses, fringed coats and silk taffeta tailoring fit for any ball (or Christmas party). Shop the collection at a pop-up in Designer Collections on the First Floor now.

Our Ground Floor Fine Watches room is, if you’ll forgive the pun, always ticking over with the watch world’s latest novelties – and Vacheron Constantin is a reliable favourite. October’s arrivals include a fully diamond-set iteration of the Overseas 35mm, as well as the Historiques American 1921 – two future icons fit for end-of-year gifting.

Powered by a tried-and-tested Precious Platinum Multi-Peptide and Exclusive Cellular Complex, La Prairie’s Platinum Rare is up there with the industry’s most highly regarded anti-ageing skincare ranges. This new collection takes the ritual to new levels, with three levels of treatments to see you through to 2027 with your best skin yet. Our kind of box set.

To celebrate its third decade, Jimmy Choo has released a capsule inspired by one of its all-time favourite embellishments: the pearl. The Pearls of Wisdom capsule includes shoes, bags and accessories that reinterpret the motif – think the Ingrid flats with trompe-l’œil pearl buckles and the Bon Bon bag dotted with baroque beaded corsages.

From Christie Brown to The Cloth, five of Africa and its diaspora’s most eminent designers make their Harrods debut at a pop-up on the Fifth Floor, brought to you by Brand63Africa – the new platform connecting brands of African heritage to the global market.

Blazé Milano is transporting some of its Italian elegance to our Designer Collections room this season with a pop-up boutique inspired by the elegant interiors of its flagship store on Milan’s Via Santo Spirito. Find a capsule collection created exclusively for Harrods, translating an edit of signature pieces into new fabrics and a warm, autumnal colour palette of chocolate, caramel, olive green and mustard. Open until 2nd January.

And now to the kitchen: Le Creuset collectors will be excited to hear about a new colourway, exclusive to Harrods in the UK. Château, a soft blue-toned dove grey, evokes the weathered stonework of France’s historic stately homes, and is an appealing choice for those whose kitchen colourway leans more neutral than bold. Find the collection in Cookware & Appliances on the Third Floor now.

As the British icon sees out its 170th year, we thought we’d do a little something to celebrate. Join us at a London-themed pop-up in the Exhibition Windows, featuring a Burberry scarf bar, photobooth, postcard corner and bespoke illustrated labels by artist Liubov Edwards.

The latest brand to join our line-up of contemporary jewellery on the First Floor is Rosa de la Cruz. Based in London and inspired by the timelessness and craftsmanship of vintage jewellery, the label is known for its sense of fun – think oversized star pendants, smiley-face diamond rings and chunky beaded necklaces in all colours of the rainbow. This is jewellery for those who want their jewellery to raise a smile (and start a conversation).

She’s known for creating the sort of clothes that women (and men) want: think great fabrics, beautiful tailoring and pieces that are made to last. But how did Gabriela Hearst go from off the grid to on your wish list?

Girlish, but also grown-up. Simple, but still sophisticated. Sensible, but not too sensible. We speak to three of the best ballet flat brands to find out how the style conquered our wardrobes.
