Touch Points
‍
An homage to my best friend: Texture—the easiest way to upgrade an outfit.
‍
Texture? She’s a boss bitch who rules the roost with a sueded fist, à la Khaite. She brings it every damn time. You can count on her. She’s always in the game—more reliable than your husband or boyfriend. More reliable than man’s best friend… just not as cute.
‍
Wield her wisely and slay.
‍
Leather Weather
‍
Leather. She’s the one I reach for over and over again—the old reliable who infuses every look with strength and poise.
White tee and jeans feeling meh? Throw a bomber over your shoulders and you’ll walk a few inches taller. Nour Hammour with a shearling collar? Always yes.

And leather boots? They put the strut in your stride. Dial up the edge with a crocodile finish — always right, never wrong.
‍
Black pencil skirt lost her sharpness? Be on point with an ebony or chocolate midi. Add a cashmere knit to soften the moment, and you’ll never go wrong.

A leather cuff on a simple outfit? Honestly… you don’t need anything else.
‍
Her gentler cousin, suede, is back in rotation—fall’s darling and now winter’s rising star. Boots, gloves, jackets, skirts, dresses… she’s everywhere, and she’s of the moment. Wear her with pride.

An Eel, an Ostrich, and a Crocodile Walked into a Bar
‍
The simplest way to play with texture? A bag.
‍
Ferragamo’s eel-skin beauty,
Balenciaga’s rodeo ostrich—that color? I die.
‍COS’s croc folio—chic, accessible, utterly effortless.
‍
All animals I’d happily tame.
All equally killer with menswear suiting or a matching knit set.
‍
Texture: match, set, point.
She wins every time.
‍
At CbC? We play to slay.
And we’re here to see you do it too.
