SUMMER SANDALS

Classic slip-on sandals are this summer’s hot ticket. Channel the 1990s with comfy chunky soles, sleek toe posts and crisscross straps. At the luxury end of the scale, there are The Row’s sandals. More bang for your buck? Marks & Spencer and Mango’s all-leather versions. Other flats on the hot list? The Florida three-strap sandals by Birkenstock and clogs (in particular Re/done X Scholl’s wooden versions).

WOVEN LEATHER BAGS

Woven and cutwork leather tote bags wear well and age beautifully. Keep an eye out for versions with an internal cotton pouch to stash your goodies. Swoon-worthy tote? Bottega Veneta’s signature Intrecciato woven leather Andiamo bag with knot-detail gold hardware. Best mid-priced label? Dragon Diffusion, at Costume, Castlemarket, Dublin 2 and Waters + Wild, Glandore, Co Cork.

SUPERSIZE YOUR SHADES

Any woman’s perfect all-season capsule collection requires at least one pair of sunglasses. This summer, the bigger the better. Shade yourself behind an outsized pair: tortoiseshell, white, transparent, oval, acetate frames, metal, aviator or visor-style frames.
