Born from humble beginnings in the South Australian bush, Reginald Murray Williams first crafted an elastic-sided leather boot in 1932 – a product that would later become synonymous with authentic outback dressing. He crafted products for hardworking stockmen and soon had a thriving mail order business, before the increasing popularity of his products demanded the establishment of a full factory at Percy Street in 1934. Many craftsmen and women joined him and later settled into a new workshop at Frost Road in the 1970s, where production currently remains.

That was 90 years' ago. Today, hundreds of highly skilled artisans continue to handcraft leather boots, apparel and accessories for R.M.Williams, using the same techniques as those who went before them. 

A capsule collection of limited-edition products will be released as part of the celebrations, including boots, belts, apparel and lifestyle items.

The limited-edition Craftsman, Lady Yearling boots and Jerrawa belts are complete with 90th anniversary trims and a commemorative plaque, offering the opportunity to own a piece of an Australian legend. These styles will be made on demand and handcrafted, as always, in the Adelaide workshop.

The clothing assortment consists of T-shirts and sweatshirts in classic colours of grey, navy and khaki, each emblazoned with unique 90th anniversary branding. All styles are made in Australia – the T-shirts in collaboration with Good Earth Cotton, the world’s first carbon positive cotton company. 

In celebration of the brand’s heritage of craftsmanship, a new Makers Kit will be released, complete with the materials, tools and instructions needed to craft a durable leather cover for RM’s classic book, The Bushman’s Handcrafts.

A limited-edition care tin will be available, perfect for brand loyalists, new boot owners and anyone looking to get the most out of their R.M.Williams boots. The tin includes the Stockman’s Shoe Polish in black or chestnut, plus Leather Conditioner, Brush and Polish Cloth.

After a blind pre-sale that sold out in minutes, the TELFAR X EASTPAK collaboration has finally arrived and includes the brand's first ever backpack. In collaboration with Eastpak—purveyor of high quality packs and luggage since 1976 —the two brands have debuted a collection that is both fashionable and functional.

The four-piece lineup consists of TELFAR’s iconic shopping bag in three sizes and a new circle bag reworked with Eastpak’s expertise and emphasis on utility.

TheChicGeek says, "The original vegan Telfar tote became a cult accessory almost over night. That encircled T logo was ingrain on people's consciousness long before anybody had even heard of the 'genderless fashion project' founded in 2004 by Telfar Clemens in New York City. Due to its affordability, it quickly an it-bag, a hard task in today's market drowning in product.

Here it gets the Eastpak makeover in its trademark polyester and the signature tote is cleverly turned into a practical backpack. Prices are great too."

Swatch has collaborated with Omega to imagine an innovative Swatch take on the Speedmaster Moonwatch. Owned by the same parent company, the brands have drawn their design inspiration from space, to create a collection of eleven Swatch models named after planetary bodies, from the giant star at the centre of the solar system to the dwarf planet at its periphery.

All of the Swatch designs are in the brand’s patented BIOCERAMIC, a unique mix of two-thirds ceramic and one-third material derived from castor oil. Although colors like pink and pale blue offer strong clues that these are not your standard Omega Speedmaster watches, a hard-core Moonwatch fan would be hard-pushed to find the difference in the overall look. The key Moonwatch design features are all there. The asymmetrical case, the famous tachymeter scale with dot over ninety and the distinctive Speedmaster subdials, which all work perfectly. 

The new collection comes in rarely seen colours. Each MoonSwatch feature its own mission statement, inspirational engravings and joint OMEGA X SWATCH logos on the dial and crown. The battery cover on each watch features a depiction of its planet. A spacesuit-ready VELCRO© strap adds a final touch of astronaut chic. 

TheChicGeek says, "Take me to the moon, and let me fly amongst the planets...This is one of the best watch collabs. I've seen. It's out of this world and, as such, will be a sell out!"

At the end of the day’s light come magical possibilities. Drift into the night and let the reverie begin. Jo Malone London launches two scents called Lavender & Moonflower and Moonlit Camomile.

Aromatic English lavender nestles among a cocooning note of white musk and night-blooming moonflowers in the Lavender & Moonflower scent in a pillow mist, home and diffuser options.

Moonlit Camomile is an evening wander filled with possibility. The enchanting freshness of feathery English camomile leaves mingle with blue moonflowers, glimpsed in the garden after dark. Enveloped in the gentle sensuality of cocooning white musk it comes in a cologne and pillow mist.

TheChicGeek says, "Pillow mists are becoming increasingly popular, particularly with the emphasis on good quality sleep. Lavendar and camomile are the perfect scents for rest and relaxation."
