BY NOW YOU KNOW where we stand on leopard print here at TIG: it's a fashion classic that endures across the seasons, year after year and considered a neutral as far as we're concerned.
Recently, had told you about our trip from Spain to the south of France, Scotland and the English countryside in late May, early June. It was during this trip that we fell in love (again) with the countryside and thought it might be time to do something completely different than we've done before.
STRANGE to be writing this message on the very last day of the year, as when many of these photos were taken, the month of December stretched out like a long and languid dream.
A Gift Guide for those in your life with an appreciation for Dieter Rams and beautifully designed things, whose coffee tables are stacked with thick books on the subject, we've selected for you a few classics, old and new--art deco drop earrings and industrial-inspired ones too; vintage-inspired shoulder bags and timepieces mean to stand the test of, well, time...
In 2015, I contacted Ai Weiwei, then under house arrest in Beijing, to ask if I could exhibit his work on a remote island in the Salish Sea. To my amazement, he agreed.
It's time again for introducing the new arrivals at The Shop, and this week, there are so many beautiful things. At Belgrave Crescent, there is the Brontë Small Duffle Bag, a sleek and modern design that comes with two thin handles fastened with gold Chicago screws; there is the Alcott Small Leather Tote, which is the perfect size for everyday, yet strong enough to carry as much as you can fit into it, even two bottles of champagne.

THERE ARE THINGS that we always come back to, despite the unending onslaught of trends and fast fashion.
