Mercedes Castillo Why buy? There has been plenty of buzz around the colorfully graphic shoes and bags in this eponymous range, which comes from the woman who is credited with creating Tory Burch's shoe business. Produced in Brazil and Spain from Italian materials, you can be assured that the striking pieces, like a mule with an architectural stacked wooden heel and a honey pot-shaped leather handbag, are very high quality. All the aforementioned chatter about Mercedes Castillo means that these accessories will be easy to find; they will be stocked on the shelves at Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue and on Net-A-Porter. What to buy? Pom Crossbody Bag in Pink ($995) and Alisanne Sandal in Navy ($450).
