If you’re fed up with the same old accessories (hat, gloves, scarves, whatever…) Patrizia Pepe has an attractive gallery of alternative suggestions, now available at even more attractive prices, now that they are on sale.

Click each photo to read product, price (on sale), colour and size (where applicable) details, and in a couple more clicks, you can make them yours straight from the Patrizia Pepe Digital Boutique. And don’t forget that it doesn’t cost anything to return or exchange anything, ever tried it? … well, what are you waiting for then? … no time like the present!

For starters, this must-have range that never goes out of fashion… it’s winter-weight, warm and… well pretty thanks to the thick knit rib.

If you have a soft spot for fine knits, then our wool and cashmere range is the fullest, most indestructible, seriously chic and timelessly on-trend one there is…

On the leather front, and matching our best-selling bags range, are these nappa leather gloves…

Last but not least…if you’re an all-year round glamour girl, try the hottest look of the season, with its statement glitter effect, stretch mohair and sequin detailing..

Patrizia Pepe returned to Mert & Marcus for this year’s campaign. The two glamour kings snapped the fashion house’s SS12 collection in a tastefully luxurious and wildy romantic setting, using the sumptuous interiors of the world-famous Sera Of London boutique.

The face of this year’s campaign is once again the stunningly beautiful Edita Vilkeviciute.

The fabulous interiors of the London store make a very exotic backdrop for such a sophisticated traveller: a free spirit and sauvage soul, pictured in poses that echo the glittering glam of 1970s rock divas.

The exquisite clothes and exotic interiors play a seductive game of opposites, contrasting the feeling of a summer hideaway with city-centre glam, like a trip from London to Ibiza, in truly fabulous surroundings and radiant illumination.

The new campaign went live in January in leading Italian and international on and offline media, on the brand’s institutional website, and in top fashion blogs.

Plucked from our Autumn-Winter theme Nomad Ladies, the first item for today is the technical nylon and leather clutch, and if you’re quick, the matching bag is still available (but not for much longer). This uber glam accessory will come in useful for a variety of occasions: a clutch, a "bag-in-a-bag" or a handy place to keep all your bits and pieces (mobile phone, lipstick, etc.).

Another Nomad piece is this best-selling wallet and definite favourite for the season. A timeless accessory and ultimate Patrizia Pepe signature item, it combines both tradition and innovation in a classic, original piece.

You can now get your hands on the bags from the same range, now at unbeatable prices, and the shoes as well: court shoe and ankle boots with nappa tassel, to be worn up or rolled down.

Staying with the Nomad range, we’ve picked out the Bojoux bangle with metal feathers, now on sale and a not-to-be-missed opportunity to have this item light up any look in the seasons to come!

The best-seller to beat all best-sellers is up next… a constant favourite for its practicality day and night, not to mention the quality of the leather and finishing. This bag comes from the Grunge line, and there are another 2 models in the same range. The calfskin nappa is super soft and the metal stud detailing adds a unique and stylish touch.

Now we come to an adorable and pretty special bijoux of a bag, just like the person Patrizia Pepe chose to dedicate it too: Amy Winehouse. It is made of super soft calfskin nappa leather bag and decorated with vintage-effect coins and metal studs. Get this one-off bag now… at a once-in-a-lifetime price.

From bags to boots, check this lamb nappa leather pair with full inside-leg zip and fell stitched uppers, to be worn with love from now, year-after-year, until you eventually wear them out.

The most photographed shoe of all the catwalk looks of the season was this gathered calf split one with logo detail. This is a multi-season purchase, to be worn in spring and even in Summer if you want to!

Last but by no way least, we’ve picked out the warmest boots of the collection – a mid-calf boot with eco-fur lining and rubber sole – ideal if you spend a lot of time in Alpine climes, and want a touch of glam even when you’re bundled up… after all, we all know that shoes say so much about your look, your personality, and really do make the difference.

From the practical to the fashionable, what about this suede calfskin wedge-heel boot with eco-fur lining? It’s actually an even colour (light sand, like the foot shown) and not two-colour as featured in the image.

We’d like to thank you for staying with us on this journey through the special selections featuring items from the 2011 Autumn Winter Collection, now on sale. We hope it has helped you and that, even if you’re not buying, our tips may have given you some ideas on new looks and new ways to work the many wonderful things in your wardrobe.

Happy bargain hunting!

…

I hope you’ll forgive me for enthusing too much when I describe each item, each one is just as special as we all have our own style and our own preferences.

I personally love shirts, and Patrizia Pepe has something irresistible for every style possible. The Classic, a seasonal bestseller. Perfect with a jacket, with or without a tie. My favourite, I think I’m possible addicted to it, there’s always one in every Patrizia Pepe menswear collection. Eternal, non-destructable and very, very comfortable! Available in a wide range of colours. You might notice that not all colours are on sale, they’re the ones that are repeated from collection to collection. You totally MUST get one of the seasonal colours now on sale though!

If you prefer a rock edge, then Patrizia Pepe has this lightweight denim shirt. It’s perfect for every season, and looks just as cool with a “classic” jacket.

The vintage print t-shirts are also on sale. An excellent buy, made of long-lasting supersoft cotton, to bring out in late spring and wear all through summer. A huge selection, all very buyable!

I’ve never really enjoyed winter, all that cold and wind always put me off spending my free time outdoors. When the thermometer dips, you need so many extra, complicated clothes.

Or at least, that’s how it used to be. Now I can’t wait for Patrizia Pepe winter collections to go online, and it is with great pleasure that I head for the jumpers page! There’s something new every year, I love all the changes. What never changes though is the quality and exquisite workmanship.

I have to admit that now that I’ve been wearing Patrizia Pepe knitwear for a few years, it really is worth what it costs; the materials are of extraordinary quality and you will be able to wear them season after season. Just make sure to follow the care instructions.

Here’s a couple of good tips.

The first top, the V-neck one with fine ribbing, is made with a mixture of high-quality fibres: pure new wool, mohair, Alpaca. Soft and cosy, the V-neck is perfect for showing off an equally perfect Patrizia Pepe shirt. It comes in two different colours which will go with everything. I just love the two looks that Patrizia Pepe put in the Digital Boutique, i.e. the sober, classic look in Navy Blue, and the free spirit, rock one in grey melange.

The second item boasts the purest ever fibres. Pure new wool and cashmere, an absolute gem! I like to imagine wearing it casually, class and casual in the same outfit: perfection! It comes in three colours and don’t think I’m crazy, but I really recommend getting all three!

I give them each 10/10.

Turning our attention to trousers and jackets, what about the most comfortable and classy pair of wool mix trousers ever, that are soft and easy on the legs and the eye. Wear them with the grey sneakers. This is a no-limits pair of trousers!

The other trousers on my list are a bit special, vintage-effect in wool mix gabardine. Just right. All the time.

Both will capture your imagination, and both are classic casual. Perfect for keeping warm wherever.

The two jackets that I have picked have a bit of an unusual shape.

The first one is a wool mix, and looks like a classic double-breasted affair. It might even seem a bit too simple/classic, but if you wear it with a casual shirt and jeans, then it strikes just the right balance.

The unusual cut of the other one is what caught my attention. It has a high collar and hidden buttons. It is made of technical bistretch fabric. I would wear it in two ways: buttoned for a futuristic, serious look, and open with jeans for a more modern feel.

Tip:

I’ve learned over the years to go beyond my first impression of what something looks like, and listen to how someone else (undoubtedly with more taste and more experience than me) suggests it should be worn. If you know how to match things already, then they could be a great source of ideas!

The staff at Patrizia Pepe really are good at putting together the various looks for each item.

Here are two masterpieces….. two jackets..and you’ll see why I’m so excited about them!

Both are made of wool fabric. A special mention goes to how Patrizia Pepe uses this type of fabric. Protective, warm, waterproof, sturdy.

The first jacket is classic. If you’ll allow me, I have to say that whoever wears this jacket shows that he has a “tidy mind” and others will see this. What a good way of letting the world know how you intend to start the year!

The second one is pretty special, it’s a jacket but looks like a cardigan, thanks to the tricot knit effect. I love it when people look at me when I’m wearing something like this, and you can see they are thinking: Is it a jumper? Or is it a jacket? What it is, is a really lovely garment, made for style lovers, and for people who like quality, and most importantly, who love themselves.

You may have noticed that I’ve picked a mixture of classic and casual for this guide. These two trends are also well covered in the shoes.

I don’t think it’s our clothes that make these two styles though, I think our style comes from inside of us, how we see something in our mind’s eye and how we think we could use it.

As if by chance, the first shoes I’ve picked are a great example of this. There’s something I just love to say now: we are in the presence of a 100% all-Italian leather shoe here. Quality quadrupled!

I bought these shoes, and they came with a special label telling me that the rough surface and appearance of the leather is intended and not a defect. The overall effect (the only word that springs to mind to describe it is scruffy), with the shoe laces left untied of course, is young and definitely casual.

These shoes are magic! Can you call shoes double-sided?

Just give them a swipe with a soft brush, and the leather transforms, becoming all smooth and shiny. All you have to do is lace them up and the magic is complete, you now have a serious, grown-up pair of shoes!

It takes a day for the leather to gradually go back to its rough and ready look …

I think I’ve said enough already!

I haven’t forgotten about the sneakers though, vintage effect in real calfskin shiny suede. They are not magic though, they are just BEAUTIFUL!

Accessories-wise, I have picked three items, three different kinds of dressing, three different times of day.

A tie, simple, never too loud. Take a look at the mini dots on the black one. Classic and original at the same time, it’s what you need to get noticed!

If you don’t like scarves, then the neck warmer is great for keeping out the wind and cold. In a perfect mix of wool and acrylic, the fibre was designed specially to stop it from balling and keep it soft on the neck.

The destroyed-look hat is made of fine wool and silk.

My imagination starts to run wild here, travelling transatlantic to the Big Apple, where I can see myself at the mouth of the Hudson River, with the salty wind lashing me as I look out towards Liberty Island. The 5S0309 A171 hat and jacket make me feel like a true blue “Newyorker”….

ENJOY THE SALES EVERYONE!

Thanks P. We’re more than happy to share your guide to the Patrizia Pepe sale…. and we’re imagining that you will actually go to New York. Don’t forget to send us a photo!!

Designed originally as day wear, the stretch wool gabardine dress with skinny stretch viscose jersey sleeves also works perfectly as an unfussy but classy item for a night out. A wide selection of matching jackets are available in the Digital Boutique; just enter A02 in the search field to find yourself a perfect and timeless classic: a suit.

Another preferably day dress that is still versatile enough to wear on other occasions, thanks to the patterned fabric and gold lurex inserts, is this stretch wool jersey scoop-back dress.

Since this special is all about dresses, we decided to make sure we give you plenty of evening ideas… partly because an evening dress is one item that usually costs that little bit more due to the work involved and the materials used. Now that they are on sale, it really is a great chance to grab the ultimate bargain. Another equally valid reason for giving you so many options is that an evening dress is an all-year-long kind of garment. You’ll be able to use them, year after year, for special occasions with different guest lists, or for nights out with new friends or new groups.

Let’s start with a simple, unfussy but statement dress in stretch viscose jersey, gathered on the side and sequin detailing below the shoulders.

Moving on, we come to the stretch viscose jersey mini dress with beaded neck detailing: an effortlessly easy and stylish item, which works as both a dress or maxi top.

The next dress has a layer of silk georgette and a beaded neck on the top and a cotton jersey under layer and sleeves, making it a quirky, easy dress that simply oozes glamour.

Next up is a get-noticed evening dress in floaty Japanese viscose fibre with silk chiffon sleeves, stone detailing and ostrich feathers. The special touches are so stylishly understated that they make their own style statement.

This double-layer mini dress, silk chiffon on the top, stretch angora jersey underneath and nothing at the back, comes in 5 colours and has a grosgrain belt. Originally intended for your wildest Winter nights, it will slot just as seamlessly into a summer party.. and now that’s it’s on sale, that’s one very big not-to-be-missed opportunity.

The most wanted and best selling item of the Evening Collection is now available at an unbeatable price. Which one is that then? We’re talking about the stretch silk satin, backless jumpsuit with chain and pendant-like detailing …. do you want one too?

Let’s turn out attention now to dresses of the all-over sequinned variety, the Must Haves of Patrizia Pepe Collections. Anyone who has already bought one will know that they can become a bit of an addiction..as they help you shine your very own light on those big fashion events in your life.

How about this top pick of the season, taken from the Evening Collection and also pictured in special editorial features …. if you’re quick, you can still get the matching jacket too. The floaty viscose base is decorated all over in stripes with sequins.

Another item from the Evening Collection which also featured in fashion editorials is this dress with all-over, tone-on-tone sequin detailing…

We hope our Patrizia Pepe guides to the sales have been helpful and given you some inspiration… watch this screen for the last edition looking at accessories and shoes.

Let’s start with the easiest ones and work our way through to the uber glam ones at the end. The same rules apply: just click the images to see details in the Digital Boutique of price, colour and sizes still available.

The draped-front wool jersey top with contrasting zip at the back was one of our absolute bestsellers of the season… it was a step ahead in the fashion stakes too, pre-empting the hot new maxi zip trend that we’ll be seeing in upcoming Spring Summer collections. Work this look right through to April… whoever said the season was over hasn’t seen this top!

On first impressions, this supersoft stretch wool jersey Patty Ballerina t-shirt might look casual, but it is equally at home in some of the hottest ensembles of the season, as featured in the Autumn Winter Collection catwalk show.

The same goes for the organic cotton jersey Urban Jungle range t-shirt that comes in two different patterns, to be dressed down with jeans or skinny trousers, or up to the nines with a pair of killer heels!

If you like the comfort of a maxi fit, then check out this supersoft, stretch angora jersey top with silk chiffon layer. It has an asymmetrical hemline and can be worn loose or belted around the waist.

Moving on, we’ve picked out this All Year long top in stretch viscose jersey with silk chiffon inserts and fur-effect detailing (matching items include the shrug, jacket and skirt). As the name says, you can work this from Winter through Spring, Summer and Autumn then back to Winter again to add a bit of fizz to even the flattest of looks.

Next up is another Autumn-Winter favourite, the stretch cotton poplin shirt (the fabric to beat all fabrics when it comes to super comfy shirts); with stretch lace inserts on the shoulders, it is also an icon of style and elegance to the category as a whole. A little bit of feminine chic, again to be enjoyed all year long. It was featured in the Catwalk Collection and is ideal with wide-leg trousers or with basically anything that you want to work with a Boyish vibe.

The double-layer, silk chiffon shirt with all-over sequin pockets is our evening or cocktail hour piece par excellence, definitely to be kept for that special witching hour…..and now that it’s on sale, you have a not-to-be-missed chance to get one for your wardrobe..something you will definitely never regret! (in months and years to come…). It was part of our Evening Collection.

A piece that gained cult Patrizia Pepe status was this silk chiffon tunic with sequin and Swarovsky crystal detailing… grab your now-or-never chance to get one for yourself, now that it’s on sale.

Many of you will already have had the chance to try out our stretch silk satin fabric, a firm favourite in both Winter and Summer collections; used for tops, shirts and tunics it has a suitably comfortable and feminine fit and instant party-time glamour. For this selection, we’ve picked the elastic trim tunic (the perfect cover-up solution for any bits you don’t want to draw attention to) which will work All Day Long or as evening wear….

… and the tulle top with inner bustier, a timeless garment that’s summer ready, all set for a day or night out with skinny pants, as featured in the Evening Collection.

Another great option is the silk crepe de chine racer back top with sequin-like detailing, a priceless piece that’s now on sale, and just waiting to jazz up your wardrobe for every season to come.

Last but not least, there’s the most-photographed, most featured and most popular top of the season….you can’t put a price on the chance of buying it at a snip of the original price tag. It was wanted for editorials, the Catwalk Collection and the Advertising Campaign… don’t you want it too?

Don’t forget to read Patrizia Pepe’s next special Guide to the Sales looking at dresses.

We've picked something for everyone, from uber pencil-thin and girly to classic, wide-legs, casual or even shorts for the trendy crowd.
The system's the same, just click the images to see prices, colours and sizes still available.

Satin jersey ponte leggings for day and night wear, an all-round wardrobe staple that works in any combination, with boots or courts, flats or heels. This very item featured in one of the Patrizia Pepe Autumn Winter Catwalk looks. In wrinkle-free Japanese smooth viscose fabric, the skinny, boy-cut trousers will still look chic at aperitivo time after a hard day in the office …. not forgetting that they were part of the Evening Collection too so can be dressed up for a big night out or special occasion. A leading light on the catwalk (Look 2 and Look 37), our next item was truly one of best-worked trends of the season. Comfy, cosy, versatile and as irresistibly chic as ever, we're talking about the stretch wool,contour weave gabardine trousers. Another item in the same smooth Japanese viscose fabric as before are these smart and naturally stylish soft, carrot-leg trousers. Wear below the waist for that casual chic touch that always makes a great look even better. Check them out in two of our Evening Collection looks (Look 26 and Look 29). Moving on, these stretch wool gabardine turn-up trousers are available in four colours; being to easy to work and easy to wear, they were one of our best-selling items. If you like this fabric, take a look in our Digital Boutique at the wide range of jackets and pick yourself the perfect suit (just enter the keyword A02 to search a matching jacket). Next up are these stretch viscose and wool crepe charmeuse fabric, wide-leg, pleated trousers; best worn with killer heels to work that boyish ladylike look to perfection. The leather belt with logo buckle comes with the trousers which were part of the Evening Collection. The wide-leg wool gabardine micro-pattern trousers with turn-up hem are another Autumn Winter best-seller. Of timeless appeal thanks to the warm fabric and palazzo fit, this is one item that everyone should have in their wardrobe. Every sales guide has to have a bit of leather, so we've picked some super-slim panel trousers made of garment-washed kid leather and stretch viscose jersey: yet another super bargain that you will be so glad you took advantage of when next season comes round. Check them out in the Patrizia Pepe Catwalk Collection (Look 15 and Look 34). And now onward to the Shorts! As in demand and on trend as ever, we had jackets on our mind this season when thinking about shorts, the idea being to create a kind of college-style suit. Androgynously girly, these shorts are for winter wear primarily with boots, flat or heeled. Number one in the glamour stakes without a doubt are these fresh wool shorts with "dinner jacket" style pleated front panel, picked for a superb feature in the January edition (no. 51) of Vanity Fair (page 152)! Last but not least, how about these simple and super slim micro shorts… in stretch wool gabardine, definitely not for the faint-hearted, and definitely for the younger, slimmer shoppers! Stay right there now, as the next special on tops is on its way! Shirts and Tops… extraordinary items… out of the ordinary prices.

For this category, we have selected some of the hottest pieces of the season, because Jackets were part of some of the coolest trends; as a matter of fact, most of them starred in our Catwalk Collection or photo shoots (click underlined words to see related images).

On clicking the images, you can see prices (now on sale), colours and sizes available.

The viscose crepe jacket with coloured stones and ostrich feathers teamed with a hot pair of jeans, or glammed up as featured in the Autumn Winter Catwalk Collection, is a timeless and unique piece. It will never fail to please, even when you come across it in your wardrobe years from now, no least because it will work with absolutely everything!

Another piece for that special All Night Long occasion, practically a collector’s item by now, is the all-over sequin jacket; the version featured here has been hand-sewn with striped detailing and splashes of colour that put it in a class of its own! The dress (which featured in the Evening Collection Shoot) is still available, although not for much longer. What a delight… a vintage piece (well, given that the season is almost over) of timeless appeal!

… Another star of the Evening Collection is the fur-effect Silk Chiffon Jacket..also available in black; ideal over a special occasion outfit next spring, although we’d team it with skinny pants and heels too.

From the Nomad Ladies range, which was the main theme of the 2011 Autumn Winter season featured in November’s Vogue and also in our Blog, is the fringed Chanel Jacket; here we have teamed it with a stylish tunic but you can also dress it down with some wide-leg trousers or jeans. This jacket also appeared in the Catwalk Collection.

Reflecting the season’s boyish trend, this stretch wool gabardine double-breasted look jacket works perfect from the office through to cocktail time. Check out the trousers, skirts and dresses in the same fabric and grab yourself the ultimate suit (find them in the Digital Boutique by searching keyword A02).

In the same stretch wool gabardine, but this time with a washed look, is this zip-up puff shoulder jacket; ideal for some fresh-air time in spring and perfect with pencil trousers, jeans or a really girly skirt, as we’ve worked it here. The Chinos (another season and Patrizia Pepe collection must) are made of the same fabric. Again, the jacket featured in the Patrizia Pepe Catwalk Collection.

Another gem from the Evening Collection is this double-breasted stretch viscose/wool crepe jacket with longer length sleeves; perfect for a special occasion or tuxedo look, and bound to be a hot favourite next season too!

We’ve picked out this leather jacket too, or washed suede to be more precise; another outdoor piece, it will bring a casual flourish to a posh frock, or full-on country glam when teamed with high-heeled boots.

Don’t go away… we’re going to be talking about our best-selling trousers in the next edition!
