If Etro had a tagline, it’d read ‘not for the faint hearted’. Their primary objective has been colour, colour and more colour for years now and their SS10 accessories collection is a continuation of that philosophy. Ever wanted electric blue loafers? a jellyfish-patterned purple holdall? Ladybug cufflinks? Now’s your chance, because Etro have ‘em all. The conservative amongst you may be interested in these intrecciato patterned shoes (pictured above). We wouldn’t say there’s something for everyone, but there is something for the man who likes to make a statement.

Take a gander at the rest of the collection after the leap.

Openers Japan take a look at the Etro Summer Resort Collection for 2009. The Italian line uses the “T-Shirt” as their palette of choice when messaging this collection. A variety of t-shirts work the Etro look in a very casual and almost understated manner.It’s clearly about the casual look here. Nothing like saying, “I’m Made in Italy” than with an Etro tee.

OPENERS gives a nice preview of the ETRO Summer 2009 Resort Collection. ETRO takes aim for the “casual” market with their Italian made goods. Sandals, sneakers, and bags round up the collection. Sneaker styles follow the traditional Euro slip stream shapes which are favored by many and are often seen are simply staying on point with the consumer not looking to experiment. We happen to love the messenger bag, with its orange leather finish.

Now that we’ve shown you how to tie a bow tie, it’s only fair we show you some bow ties for you to practice your skills on. The biggest problem with bow ties is that they can look a little try hard, especially next to the relatively easy going tie. The easiest way to combat this would be to get a standout bow tie like this Etro one and tone down the rest of your outfit. Get it from The Corner.

Now that Christmas is coming, it’s time to start picking out pieces you wouldn’t buy yourself, but would gladly accept as a present. Take this Etro wash bag for example (for the love of all the deities, don’t call this a ‘beauty case’) – it’s a great looking bag, but could you justify actually buying it for yourself? Didn’t think so. Ask someone to get it for you from the Corner.

There’s never been a better season to be a fan of square bowling bags. Designers have them in abundance this season and this Etro bag is another addition to the growing list of desirable bags. The dark brown colour is a step away from the colour clashing that Etro’s known for but the high shine makes it showy enough to still be an Etro piece. Get it from Harrods.

Etro have been known for pushing the colour and pattern boundaries, mixing pieces in ways you never thought would work and making them look great. So this altogether more subdued (by Etro’s standards) cardigan is almost a surprise from them. Like most great pieces, it’s the details that make it stand out. The lapel detailing gives you another option if (god forbid) you don’t like shawl collars. The metal buttons give it a sturdiness which offsets the whole geek chic thing that the cardigan has going. Get it from The Corner.

If I was heading to the UEFA Champions League Final today in Moscow, there would beonly two things I was sure of: that no hotels would be available and that I would need a decent overnight bag to keep my goods in order for the train ride back. This Overnight Shoulder Bag from Etro would be a good fit for that long voyage. "The bag has a single zip fastening and a small rectangular stitched logo patch on the front. Inside the bag is an optional shoulder strap which can be clipped onto the outer metal rings at both ends of the bag." Available now at Harvey Nichols.
