Esquire 10: Spirit of Change

In the spirit of change, here are 10 items to change how you interact with the world
Published: September 25, 2026

1. Gucci Flatpack Belt Bag

As its name suggests, the Flatpack is designed to sit close to your body when carried. But that doesn’t mean its interior space is compromised. There’s still plenty of room to fit your phone, passport, cards and more while keeping them secure as you navigate unfamiliar streets in a strange country.

2. Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds “Or Deco”, 45.6 X 27.4mm White Gold Case With White Gold Bracelet

A true product of minimalism, this Reverso Tribute Monoface Small Seconds “Or Deco” is an act of restraint. Look at the white gold case and its textured white gold Milanese mesh bracelet; admire the sheer precision, complementing every detail of the timepiece. And if you flip the dial, it turns the piece into a bracelet— either way, its stunning.

3. Hermès Necklace

Hermès sure knows how to make a fun accessory, and this necklace features a pendant that you can actually play with. Shaped like a telescope, the pendant has three connected segments that can be continuously turned, forming different combinations of the symbols it is decorated with.

4. Balenciaga Jet Sneaker

If you don't already know, Balenciaga aims to bring back athleisure, but with an update that pairs the sporty separates with couture-leaning garments. The Jest Sneaker is, in turn, the footwear that grounds this convergence. Supported by a 42.5mm outsole, it is built to look oversized, but probably not meant for actual running.

5. Carolina Herrera 212 Men Parfum

There’s something energising about the new 212 Men Parfum by Carolina Herrera that we can't put a finger on. Perhaps it is the hint of sharpness from the top cardamom and ginger notes. Or it may even be the subtle floral middle. Whatever it is, the scent is far from generic, but infinitely likeable.

6. Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H100 Fragment Edition

You can always count on Hiroshi Fujiwara to make anything he touches more desirable. His partnership with Bang & Olufsen (a brand he is already a fan of ) has resulted in four newly designed audio devices, including this limited-edition Beoplay H100. It's completely rendered in black with the high-gloss touch interface acting as the perfect backdrop for both partners’ logos.

7. Berluti Alessandro Demesure Oxfords

It may not be the same exact shoe that Berluti first created in 1895, but the Alessandro Demusure is a descendant of that very iconic design. As the result of years of innovation and updates, this particular pair still retains its distinct tapered tip. Its sleek, whole cut design proves that a timeless design needs little updating.

8. Dior Book Tote

Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days—specifically the first edition version— covers Dior’s latest Book tote. Minimal in design, this could very well be the bag that will inspire you to go on that trip you’ve been holding off.

9. The Macallan Sherry Oak 25 Years Old, 2025 Release Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Ginger syrup, rich oak and raisin— these are the notes you'd taste in this 2025 release of The Macallan’s Sherry Oak 25 Years Old. Like the others in the distillery’s Sherry Oak collection, the 25 YO was matured in European oak casks to give it that intense and complex flavour profile. It goes without saying that this is one immaculate whisky.

10. Cartier Love Bracelet In Rose Gold With Pink And Yellow Sapphires, Spessartite Garnets, Green Tsavorites And Amethysts

The LOVE bracelet is one of those pieces that’s become so ubiquitous, you’d probably be able to spot one pretty easily on the street. This particular iteration, however, refreshes the iconic design in a never-before-seen manner. Ten of the screws are replaced by five different coloured stones, each appearing twice along the entirety of the bracelet. This is probably what people mean when they tell you to add some colour to your life.
