Editor's Picks: LV Volleyball, Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Omega Watch And More

You can always count on LV to eventually release yet another ostentatious piece of luxury sporting equipment. Following the ping pong set I featured on my editor’s picks a couple of months ago, the latest Louis Vuitton monogram sports gear is a volleyball, complete of course with a custom LV net bag to carry it to practice with. Named “Giant”, the ball highlights the brand’s modern colour palette of bright pink, purple, orange and yellow, interspersed with white for that sporty look. Ready? Set, spike!

Lady Dior ultra-matte bag Saddle ultra-matte bag

Matte colours, especially matte black, have a way of making everything look sexier. This season, trade out your glossy Lady Dior, Diorama or Dior Saddle bag for one in the new Ultra Matte Black Range. Achieving utmost modernity, the elements of a bag, rather than contrast each other, coalesce seamlessly into this mysterious, dimensionless colour.  This collection will go great with that custom matte black SUV or sports car you already have.

This past Sunday marked 50 years since our first steps as mankind on the moon. Commemorating the historic Apollo 11 mission, Omega has released a very, very special Speedmaster. Despite how many incredible Moonwatches Omega has made over the decades, the 50th anniversary edition is perhaps the one all of us watch and space fanatics have been most looking forward to. Amongst many endearing features, the Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Speedmaster highlights the number “11” on the dial, and on the flip side, the caseback bears a laser-engraved footprint with Neil Armstrong’s famous quote, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” 

Only 6,969 pieces are available in the world. Learn more at omegawatches.com. 

Remember those name necklaces that were popular in the ’00s but are kind of tacky now? Well, if you miss wearing your identity on your neck, here’s an updated version of the infamous jewellery that can fly today. Design Letters, a typography-loving Danish brand available at Another Story, has released a line of charming necklaces where you can select a letter pendant of your choice plus a few additional charms if desired. Available in gold plated silver and sterling silver, this is also a great idea for a mother’s day gift for next month.
