In this seasonal edit, the V & VMAN team spotlight pieces that bring both form and feeling to warmer days: a leather bowling bag with seaside ease, candy-inspired accessories with high-fashion wit, and fragrances that travel between fantasy and memory. Here’s what’s shaping our summer…
NN.07 + Sebago Docksides Portland
NN.07 and Sebago are linking once again on a collaborative iteration of the latter’s Docksides Portland. The cream-white version of the shoes comes at the perfect time as boat shoes and their variants continue to regain popularity in menswear. Built for use at sea, the shoes feature a lightweight, water-resistant upper and anti-slip rubber soles. The NN.07 + Sebago Docksides Portland are available now.

Prada Crochet Collection
Like every summer, the bag you carry can truly make or break your outfit. One wrong choice and your look will be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of your carryall. Instead, V are opting for something beachy and seasonally appropriate. Thanks to Prada, the house’s newest offerings in their crochet category are quintessentially summer, utilizing crochet yarn techniques in their craftsmanship to deliver a strong impact of versatility and attention to detail, as the designs overall help elevate the idea of a knit carryall.
Seen above, the Small crochet bag and Crochet tote bag are now available on Prada.com.

TORY BURCH X BON BON COLLECTION
The yummiest collaboration you didn’t see coming has arrived. Transforming some of Tory Burch’s most classic items with a playful twist, Bon Bon, a Swedish candy company beloved by many, dives into the world of the American fashion designer. From reinterpreting the Miller Sandal and Miller sandal and mini Fleming hobo bag with a “dipped sugar” beaded coating, (echoing the texture of the scrumptious BonBon sour gummies) to elevating the puffy Miller and Kira Sport sandals in a soft, marshmallow-like manner with a hue of banana, strawberry, and vanilla colorways, Tory’s own favorite candies from the candy house finds new form in earrings and charms that take on salty licorice twists to sour fish—all captured on actress Madeline Petsch for the campaign imagery.
The Tory Burch x Bon Bon collection is now available on toryburch.com.

Mugler a*men stellar eau de parfum
Mugler’s a*men stellar eau de parfum reimagines the 1997 A*Men fragrance and turns the volume way up: richer, warmer, and just unexpected enough, thanks to the pistachio note that collide with sparks of bergamot, radiant lavandin, and mighty woods for a yummy, galactic delight. Crafted by perfumers Louise Turner and Jacques Huclier, It’s the kind of fragrance that lingers in the room, in the best way possible. Think late-night conversations, good dimmed lighting, and a little mystery in the autumn and winter seasons.
Mugler’s A*Men Stellar is available now at mugler.com.

VALENTINO BEAUTY: ANATOMY OF DREAMS UNISEX FRAGRANCE COLLECTION
How does one create an experience that captures the essence of Rome with a fragrance? This very idea is what drove Maison Valentino to create its new Anatomy of Dreams fragrance collection. Taking physical inspiration from a Roman Palazzo, one where each room hides its own story, seven concepts—aptly titled The Private Theater, Banquet Room, Romantic Garden, Secret Stairs, Fitting Salon, Roman Roof, and Hidden Room—each embody their own scent composition that challenge gender norms, having each individually been formulated by its own master nose for a uniquely couture approach to fragrances.
Each bottle is priced at $330, the Anatomy of Dreams fragrance collection by Valentino Beauty is now available at valentino-beauty.com.
