We confess: We’ve travelled far and wide in search of quality, high-end fashion. (At least, that’s part of the pretext.) But recently the trendiest European styles in jewellery and fashion found us with the opening of one-stop luxury shop TOUS.
We perused handbags, sunglasses, perfumes, makeup, apparel and fabulous jewellery (our favourite). Crafted in Barcelona, we found stunning pieces for women, men and even the little ones in our lives. We were delighted by the teddy bear emblem, a nostalgic symbol of good luck. It comes in a variety of styles (sterling silver, 18k gold, Murano glass, and mother-of-pearl) and can even sparkle with diamonds to satisfy the most material girl.
Our inner rock star got the best of us when we tried on the Life is Music Collection inspired by spokesmodel Kylie Minogue, including the sterling silver ring ($115) with matching bracelet ($334). We also took in a glimpse of spring with the latest handbags. Our favourites were Miranda ($590), a charming tuxedo black-and-white leather tote; and Melani ($636), a classic purse with room for more than just the daily essentials.
We won’t need to venture abroad any longer (luckily need and want aren’t the same thing), thanks to this chic destination boutique.
