Quiet Luxury
Runway leather goods, fine jewellery, and pieces from the major houses.
This luxury way of dressing centers on discreet cuts, fine cloth, and understated finishes that bypass loud logos. Relaxed shapes in black, grey, and blue rely on supple leather, dense cotton, and brushed suede to hold their structure. Discipline unites the look through clean proportions rather than overt ornament.
The name for this look became widespread in the twenty twenties, and the TV series Succession, whose rich characters wear costly but subtle clothes, is credited with spreading it. Loro Piana, from Quarona, Italy, is one of the largest suppliers of cashmere in the world. Bottega Veneta is known for intrecciato, strips of leather woven through slits in another piece of leather. Tom Wood, a jewelry label founded in Oslo by Mona Jensen, makes unisex pieces in sterling silver and gold.
Outerwear, tailored trousers, and leather shoulder bags establish the foundation when worn with clean sneakers. Utopia in Toronto brings most of this wall, much of it pre owned, including Goyard totes and Chrome Hearts hoodies and hats. WDLT117 in Toronto brings Tom Wood rings and bracelets, and Due West in Toronto brings Emanuele Bicocchi silver jewelry, handmade in Italy.
