The August Drop
Every month brings something special through our doors — pieces that tell their own story of craftsmanship, heritage, and style. For August, we’ve curated four standout arrivals that capture the season’s spirit: vibrant, transitional, and timeless.
Here’s what’s new this month at KYM.
Chanel Mini Classic Patent Flap in Purple
The Chanel Classic Flap needs little introduction — but this Mini Classic in patent purple offers a fresh twist. Its high-shine finish and playful hue add an edge to the timeless Chanel silhouette, making it the perfect piece for evening looks or to elevate a daytime outfit with unexpected colour.
Why it matters: Mini bags continue to dominate, but Chanel’s enduring design ensures this one never feels like a passing trend.
Hermès Picotin 18 Lock Bag in Orange with Silver Hardware
The Picotin 18 is proof that not every Hermès icon comes with a waiting list of years. Compact, versatile, and quietly luxurious, this bucket-style design is inspired by equestrian feed bags — a nod to Hermès’ heritage. In the brand’s signature orange, paired with silver hardware, it’s both bold and sophisticated.
Why it matters: The Picotin has become a favourite among collectors seeking understated Hermès charm.
Christian Dior Lady Dior D-Lite in Grey
The Lady Dior is one of the most recognisable bags in fashion history. This D-Lite version in soft grey brings a contemporary touch to the icon, crafted in embroidered fabric rather than leather. The tone-on-tone hardware and architectural Cannage motif make it refined yet modern.
Why it matters: Combining Dior’s history with fresh craftsmanship, the D-Lite is a symbol of how maisons are evolving their icons for a new generation.
Gucci Horsebit Chain Shoulder Bag in Brown
Gucci’s Horsebit detail is an emblem of the house’s equestrian codes, reimagined again and again since the 1950s. This shoulder bag combines supple brown leather with a sleek chain strap and oversized Horsebit hardware, bringing heritage into a thoroughly modern silhouette.
Why it matters: The Horsebit has seen a revival in 2025, appearing across Gucci’s latest collections — making this a timely addition to any wardrobe.
This month’s arrivals underline a recurring theme in luxury: heritage reinterpreted for today. From Chanel’s playful spin on its Classic Flap to Dior’s evolution of the Lady Dior, these pieces prove that the strongest designs are the ones that adapt without losing their DNA.
As one of our curators put it:
“The joy of new arrivals is seeing how history and modernity meet. Each of these bags tells a story that resonates now, but will also hold its value — in every sense — for years to come.”
The August Drop reminds us that timeless design doesn’t stand still. At KYM, we’re proud to curate arrivals that celebrate both the icons you know and the reimagined classics you’ll want to carry next.
