This patent leather D&G sneaker with it’s vented footbed is an example of simplicity working best. The luxury line Dolce & Gabbana keeps the sneaker as clean as possible making it more than wearable by all. Again, there is no re-invention of the wheel here – just a good look. Available now from CNCPTS.

D&G have been into all things patchwork this season, as evidenced by their patchwork cardigan we featured a while back. This patchwork duffle isn’t as ostentatious as D&G’s other patchwork incarnations and it’s all the better for it. The subtle pattern adds a twist to the typical canvas bag, making it unique – and giving those who may have overdosed on canvas an excuse to buy another bag. Get it from ELuxury.

CNBC’s Jim Cramer made mention recently that the economies in the BRIC nations of Brasil, Russia, India, and China, was on a down turn. "Crumbling" being the other term being toss around. I do not think anyone mentioned this to a core of companies that are opening doors and magazines in the country of India, which has seen some crazy GDP growth in the last two decades. Luxury goods and fashion may be finally catching on and gaining steam Earlier this month, GQ India was launched in the country and today, DNR is reporting that both Armani and Diesel are planning outposts with Armani heading to the Emporio Mall of New Dehli. D&G is also reportedly opening doors in the same mall.

While Dolce & Gabbana’s diffusion line does have some less than desirable (some might even say tacky) items, they do sometimes bring pieces like this patchwork cardigan out of the woodwork. We love shawl collars as much as the next man -  maybe even more so – but it’s always nice to have a bit of variety. This cardigan is one that’s sure to be an eye catching piece and you won’t have to worry about seeing anyone wearing the same cardi as you. Get it at Farfetch.
