WHEN WE FIRST launched Belgrave Crescent in 2014, we created so many editorial stories for our new products that sometimes entire shoots would lie waiting on memory cards to be reviewed and processed. Sometimes some of these images would never see the light of day. Here, on a chilly beach in Scotland at sunset, in a satin playsuit and wellingtons, we created these wonderfully moody shots to showcase The Kensington, and a product that we had just created, the London Urban Pack, made of an innovative material that we discovered at a trade show in Paris. I can’t be sure what season these photos were taken in⏤the beach was empty, but that could have been due to either time of year, or time of day.
HERITAGE COLLECTION
The Kensington is made of the finest English bridle leather from one of the most prestigious leather producers in the world. This hand-curried leather is perfectly paired with gold buckles cast in solid brass from one of the oldest saddlery houses in Paris; a brass three-position Cheney folio lock from England completes what will undoubtedly be a favourite piece in your wardrobe for many years to come.

Made in England
“Whatever precautions you take so the photograph will look like this or that, there comes a moment when the photograph surprises you. It is the other’s gaze that wins out and decides.” ⏤Jacques Derrida
