Sandalwood & Clove by Pall Mall Barbers
When you hear the word “Classic” used it is often a sign of true class, quality craftsmanship and longevity. When the term is used regarding fragrance however, the first thing that comes to mind is “dated” or “a dad’s fragrance”. That said, when describing this new scent from Pall Mall Barbers, it’s hard to use any other…

ARCHIVE | Belstaff X Vestiaire Collective
This perception that ‘new’ is better than ‘old’ is being rebuffed at the onset of each new fashion season, as the very heart of what is deemed to be luxury ebbs away with every fad and release. The love and appreciation for the time-honoured tradition of craft and workmanship is making a swift return as fast fashion…

MASTER & DYNAMIC X LEICA FOR 0.95
At first glance it may be hard to see what the young headphone company from NYC Master & Dynamics and German photography company Leica Camera AG would have in common, but on closer inspection it makes much sense. “Form follows function” as Leica’s Head of Design Mark Shipard explains “In Master & Dynamic we found…

B&O Play | Beoplay P2
One great thing about the modern concept of luxury is that it revolves more around experiences than the mundane acquisition of goods – and brands are recognising that. Bang & Olufsen have always been a brand synonymous with the super affluent but the Danish audio design company are not only growing upwards with intelligent stylistic technological…

FRAMED | HOUSE OF YARDS
The truth is, no one really likes the idea of working because if we did, then it wouldn’t really be work. That’s not to say that there is anything wrong with enjoying your work, but to prove my point, if there were no monies to be made, would you still do what you do…? I…

North Face Japanese Capsule Collection
Occasionally good news can be like the proverbial bus; it all comes at once. So it was with North Face’s Carnaby Store opening last week where they also introduced a new Japanese capsule collection, in a veritable “win win” scenario. The first ever North Face lifestyle store, the product itself is a curated symphony of the North…

Jameson Caskmates x London Beer Week
London Beer Week is something I’ve heard of, but not something I’ve given more than a passing thought to. Why you ask? Because to be honest with you, I don’t really like beer. Actually I suppose, that’s not completely accurate, it’s not that I don’t like beer, it’s just that I don’t drink it. It’s…

Hotel | ME London
As you enter it’s hard to believe that you’ve just walked into Marconi House, the original London home of BBC Radio. Any BBC staff thinking of returning for the purpose of nostalgia will be well advised to refrain, for fear of tarnishing those very memories; the ME London is a stunning example what could have…

Inside the Method and Madness of Midleton Distillery
The world of Whisky – or whiskey as they say in Ireland – is a very exciting place currently with many leading brands and age old distilleries looking to transform the very meaning of the word into something that’s more reflective of the current climate. It seems no distillery is safe from this need to…

Y & Sons Bespoke Tailoring
I’ll come clean from the start; I’m not planning on wearing a kimono any time soon, but I would kind of like to. This is not by accident, this is by design. The Y & Sons lookbook combines brands such as Norwegian Rain and Want Les Essentials de la Vie to create an ensemble that…

Cartier x Hodinkee | Vintage Glasses
For me, the outstanding feature about these vintage Cartier, rather ironically, is that there is not much to them. A strange point of view, especially when you consider the substantial price tag attached to them. But what you are truly buying, is their quality, one that is very hard to realize – as many modern brands…

L’Envol de Cartier
Cartier are renown for their prestige, their almost ethereal quality as a brand representative of that glass ceiling purchase. But as often happens when a brand releases a fragrance, that aspirational price point is temporarily relinquished in favour of a more affable one, which is – much like the low reaching branches of a tree…

Thinkpiece: Time speeds up the older you get – here’s proof
Did you know that the older you get time actually moves faster? Don’t worry; I shall (try to) explain all… It’s a theory I’ve mulled over for years; it surfaces every now and then over dinner, after a few drinks or during that coffee catch-up that gets far deeper than you envisaged. But recently the…
