In the golden hours of autumn, when sunlight slants through branches at just the right angle, the world takes on a burnished glow. Virginia Woolf once observed that “autumn seems to cry for a million golden quills to paint it”. Indeed, it’s a season that gilds everything it touches—from the last lingering leaves to the quiet sophistication of a perfectly tailored camel coat in the crisp morning air.
IN THE quiet of autumn evenings, as twilight paints the sky in shades of lavender and gold, there’s a palpable shift in the air. It’s not just the crisper temperatures or the earlier sunsets, but a change in the very rhythm of life. Colette once wrote, “Autumn is the season of nostalgia, of memory, of looking back”. Yet it’s also a time of subtle anticipation, of cocooning ourselves in preparation for what’s to come.
As autumn descends, the air grows crisp and the world transforms into a canvas of amber and gold. This fleeting season, with its gentle decay and whispered promises of renewal, invites introspection.
AS THE CRISP air ushers in a new season, the fashion world undergoes its perennial metamorphosis, breathing life into our wardrobes with fresh inspiration.

There is an entire board dedicated to the seaside at the TIG Pinterest page, such is our love for the coast, which is beautiful any time of year, but especially in the summertime.
This pink and marble bathroom that we found on Pinterest was the catalyst for this summery collage, filled with the things in our shopping cart at this moment, from a pair of handcrafted silk mesh mules in off-white to a delicate scallop shell charm, an engraved compact mirror and more…
"And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer." — F. Scott Fitzgerald
Clemency and I first began discussing a collaboration nearly six years ago, sometime in 2018. Little did we know that a worldwide pandemic was looming, which would soon put everything on hold.
IT MAY SEEM unconventional at first to choose this range of colors in springtime, when others are opting for shades of green and daffodil. However, when you consider the muddy fields and the still bare branches awaiting their new leaves...
OVER 4,000 years ago, the ancient Babylonians held one of the earliest known New Year celebrations. When the first new moon emerged after the spring equinox, they commemorated the dawning year.
WE'LL BE the first to admit that this first instalment of our TIG Holiday Gift Guide is more like a personal shopping list of the things we've been coveting (such as the beautiful electric bicycle made in Brooklyn and the Céline Fair Isle jersey) rather than a straight-up gift guide.
