Want les essentiels de la vie $725. Photography by Carlo Mendoza. Styled by Rei Briedis for Judyinc.com.
I’ve been a fan of local twin brothers Byron and Dexter Peart since 2004, when they started Want Les Essentiels de la Vie (wantessentials.com), an haute accessories line for jetsetters. Each of the cult products carries the name of an airport—for Spring 2011, it seems they’re in a Chicago state of mind, given the retro styling of the O’Hare shopper tote (shown).

Julia Vallelunga, the designer behind La Raffinerie (laraffinerie.ca), was inspired by ancient tribal jewellery for her new Nomad collection. I love her use of raw, hand-dyed Indian silk and vintage chains from the 1970s, and it doesn’t hurt that these precious pieces start at only $65.

We’ve been spotting a slew of earthy jewellery lately–pieces made of quartz crystals, geode slices and polished rocks. These pyrite pendants ($30 each, urbanoutfitters.com) lend a bit of unexpected sheen in a season of out-and-out glitz.

Ada bracelet, $375
For some people, money talks. But for Vancouver’s Amanda He, it wasn’t enough. After leaving a career as an investment banker for her true passion, design, she launched Rocaille (rocaille-design.com), a collection of sparkly necklaces and bracelets that are perfect as holiday dress accoutrements or, of course, gifts. He named her line after the opulent, romantic rococo style that originated in 18th century Europe and the logo, two seahorses comes from the designer’s favourite piece of jewellery, a 1950s seahorse brooch she found in Portland. Rocaille’s one-of-a-kind pieces are part art deco, part modern drama, part playful and fun—and perfect for a winter fête.
