Shopping: A Few Things on our List for Summertime

OUR POPULAR Weekend Links series is currently on hiatus, partly because we’ve been sharing our stories and discoveries so generously in the weekly newsletter that these links have started to feel like an echo.

The art of gifting lies in finding those special pieces that feel both thoughtful and unexpected. As the holiday season approaches, we’ve curated two carefully considered gift guides—one for the men in your life, and another featuring elevated essentials for yourself or those close to you.

Discover thoughtful, unique gift ideas tailored for those who appreciate artful living, impeccable style, and culinary flair—perfect presents for everyone on your list this holiday season.

Cosy cashmere and a whimsical porcelain sculpture that’s nearly too charming to give away; beautiful objets d’art and an incredibly chic brass lighter case; fine jewellery and fashion jewellery…

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.
