The Plan C Summer Accessories Edit
Sketched-face totes, rope sandals and cherry-red details from Carolina Castiglioni, the daughter of Marni founder Consuelo Castiglioni. Plan C has arrived at Riada Concept in Woollahra, and the accessories are where it is at its most playful.
Plan C is the Italian label founded by Carolina Castiglioni, daughter of Marni founder Consuelo Castiglioni. It carries a familiar sense of colour and humour, but with a point of view that is entirely its own: eclectic prints, bold silhouettes and a palette that returns again and again to red, white and black. At Riada Concept, Woollahra, the summer accessories are the clearest place to begin, from sketched-face totes and rope-trimmed sandals to cherry-red paper pearl jewellery.
Totes With a Sense of Humour
The Plan C signature is the hand-drawn character, a wobbly, wide-eyed face sketched across the front of a bag as though by a child. The Pili & Bianca Mini Shopper in black and its optical white counterpart carry the artwork in contrasting line, with red handles and a removable shoulder strap, so they can be worn crossbody or carried by hand. The Printed Medium Shopper in optical white offers the same drawing at a more practical scale, with black and red handles.
For summer, the more graphic options are equally considered. The Glossy Technical Mini Beach Tote arrives in black, white and red plaid, the Striped Small Straw Tote adds a band of yellow and lime to woven black straw with leather handles, and the Linen Mesh Shopper in Poppy Ivory is lined in cotton for easy everyday use.
Cord, Patent and Flowers
Plan C footwear takes the same palette of red, white and black and gives it a tactile finish. The Cord Detail Leather Slingback Sandals are trimmed with a braided red and white rope, an unexpected detail that lifts an otherwise simple flat sandal. The Patent Leather Slingback Heels in Fire Red are the decisive option for an evening or an occasion, glossy and unapologetically bright.
At the quieter end, the Flower Intarsia Leather Fussbett Sandals in black combine a contoured footbed and buckle strap with a white flower inlay, which makes them an easy partner for tailoring and denim alike.
Paper Pearls and Milk Pendants
The jewellery follows the same logic as the bags: simple shapes, one strong idea. The Paper Pearl Necklace in Vermilion Red hangs a single glossy drop from a silver-tone chain, and the Paper Pearl Drop Earrings repeat the colour at the ear. Worn together or separately, they bring a small shot of red to a white shirt or a black dress.
The Irregular Milk Pendants Necklace with Tobacco Cord is the more sculptural piece, with ivory pendants of varying lengths, gold-tone spacers and a warm brown cord. It suits an open collar and a linen shirt particularly well.
Building the Outfit Around It
The easiest way to wear Plan C accessories is to let them do the talking. A white cotton tee or the Vase Print tee, black poplin trousers or a poplin skirt give a clean base, and a single drawn-on tote or a pair of red slingbacks becomes the focus of the look.
For something bolder, the Asymmetric Viscose Skirt in Fire Red and the Pleated Belted Midi Shirt Dress in Optical White, finished with a red and white rope belt, show the full Plan C palette working as one.
