Salvatore Ferragamo introduced its new Buckle Collection of eight watches and sunglasses incorporating the company’s iconic buckle design Friday at the Royal Hawaiian Center store.

The celebrated shoemaker often incorporated buckles into his designs, and the stylized rounded buckles, which often took the shape of Ferragamo’s trademark Gancino hook, quickly became associated with the brand, appearing on purses, belts and other accessories.

To celebrate the new arrivals, those who purchase any timepiece ($1,395) or pair of sunglasses ($345) from the Buckle Collection at the Royal Hawaiian Center or Ala Moana Center boutiques through Jan. 5 will receive a complimentary monogram engraving.

For more information, call 971-4267.

Eyewear from Salvatore Ferragamo’s new Buckle Collection. In addition to the white and black eye frames shown, there are light and dark tortoise versions.

You can see the buckle design in the face of the watches, paired with leather wristbands in a mix of classic and fun colors.

During an event to welcome the new arrivals, I also enjoyed seeing some of the new items for spring including Audrey flats and handbags in periwinkle, pretty pinks and grownup beige pink.

I love a backpack for getting around the hassle- and hands-free way, this one with another of Ferragamo's signatures, the bow.
