Naturally, attendees arrived in their best Cole Haan accessories. Many of the women opted for on-trend ballet flats or practical pumps like the brand’s signature Vandam slingbacks. A stylish mix of shoulder bags and versatile handbags – including the Celenea saddle bag and new Carolyn Foldover Tote – made appearances in rich hues of brown, black, white, red, and silver. For the gents, American Classics penny loafers and GrandPrø Luxe slip-on sneakers were the go-to picks, while some showcased the brand’s latest launch: the ØriginalGrand Energyweave oxfords. Even as snow began to fall, spring was in the air.

The evening kicked off with a cocktail hour where attendees enjoyed Lucky Girl Rose’ and 21 Seeds signature cocktails like spicy margaritas, Palomas, and energy-boosting espresso martinis. The high energy continued from cocktails to dinner, where courses included homemade gnocchi, seared scallops, and choux pastry with hazelnut mousseline. After hours of fine wining and dining, each guest received a special parting gift: a Cole Haan pebbled leather card case, personalized and embossed with their initials. A perfect, finishing touch to a perfect evening.
