How is it nearly the end of October already? One minute we were complaining about waking up at 4am thanks to the summer sunrise, and now it’s practically dark when the alarm goes off.
The good news? We get that glorious extra hour in bed this weekend, proper coat weather has finally arrived, and we’re officially in peak cosy season. Halloween is just around the corner, Bonfire Night isn’t far behind, and Christmas is close enough that nobody can judge me for watching festive adverts yet.
Frankly, the timing couldn’t be better. Between settling in for the latest episodes of Strictly Come Dancing, The Great British Bake Off and The Traitors keeping us glued to the sofa, there’s every excuse to lean into autumn. And while you’re at it, settle in with this week’s edition of Trend Trove. I’ve rounded up the hottest launches, the high street buys worth adding to basket, and all the fashion and shopping news you need to know about right now.
Cult handbag brand DeMellier has opened the doors to its first-ever flagship store, and it’s far more than somewhere to browse its bestselling bags. Located on Sloane Square, the new space has been designed as the ‘Home of DeMellier’, with warm living-room-style interiors, vintage furniture and curated artwork creating the feel of a beautifully designed London townhouse rather than a traditional shop.
Alongside favourites including The New York and The Stockholm, visitors can discover the new Sloane bag family before it launches elsewhere, while a dedicated craft corner offers a behind-the-scenes look at how the brand’s coveted handbags are made.
Nearly a decade after founder Mireia Llusia-Lindh launched the label, the flagship marks an exciting new chapter for one of Britain’s most successful accessories brands.
Magic Mike is back in London and it’s still one of the hottest tickets in town. Whether you’re planning a festive girls’ night out, a hen do, or simply want an unforgettable evening, the high-energy dance spectacular combines jaw-dropping choreography, acrobatics and plenty of cheeky fun.
Inspired by the hit films starring Channing Tatum, the immersive show has become a West End phenomenon, with fans travelling from across the UK to experience the action up close.
If you’re looking for a gift that’s a little more exciting than another candle or beauty set this Christmas, Magic Mike Live is guaranteed to get pulses racing.
In news nobody saw coming but somehow makes perfect sense, Mercedes-Benz has given adidas’ cult-favourite Samba a luxury makeover.
Out now, the limited-edition trainer combines the sportswear giant’s most recognisable silhouette with design cues lifted from the S-Class, including quilted detailing inspired by the car’s interior.
More than a one-off drop, the collaboration signals the beginning of a wider partnership between two brands built on heritage, innovation and timeless design.
If you’re already planning your autumn wedding guest looks or festive party outfits, Ghost’s new AW collection deserves a spot on your radar.
The brand has doubled down on everything it does best, from vintage-inspired florals and fluid silhouettes to rich jewel tones in burgundy, forest green and navy.
Think romantic day dresses, elegant occasionwear and velvet pieces that feel destined for the Christmas party season, all with that timeless, throw-on-and-feel-good quality Ghost is known for.
Free People has teamed up with Daisy London on a vintage-inspired jewellery collection that blends bohemian styling with colourful gemstones, chunky chains and nostalgic details.
Fronted by Pixie Geldof, the 22-piece range is designed for layering and everyday wear, with each piece finished in 18-carat gold plating and accompanied by a limited-edition jewellery case inspired by both brands’ free-spirited aesthetic.
Irish beauty brand Poco Beauty has officially landed at Selfridges, marking its first major UK retail launch. Founded by entrepreneur Pippa O’Connor Ormond, the fast-growing brand has built a loyal following thanks to its streamlined approach to beauty, with skincare-infused makeup and multitasking products designed to deliver glowing, healthy-looking skin with minimal effort.
Shoppers can now browse its bestselling Universal Glow Treatment SPF 30, cult complexion products and Dreamglow skincare range in Selfridges stores nationwide and online.
Ruggable has expanded beyond its signature washable rugs with the launch of Easy Care Wool, its first collection made from natural wool. Designed to combine the warmth and texture of natural fibres with the practicality the brand is known for, the range features eight handcrafted designs in earthy, autumn-inspired shades.
With durable, low-shedding construction and easy maintenance, the collection challenges the idea that wool rugs are high-maintenance, offering a stylish yet family-friendly option for busy homes.
Molly-Mae Hague’s fashion label Maebe is embracing cosy season with a new AW collection inspired by the British countryside.
Launched earlier this month, the drop focuses on elevated wardrobe staples, from oversized trench coats and tailored outerwear to chunky knits, faux fur and versatile layering pieces in a muted palette of taupe, charcoal, navy and black.
Designed for transitional dressing, it’s full of timeless, wear-anywhere pieces that balance comfort, practicality and the understated aesthetic the brand has become known for.
