OUR LAST Weekend Links was published in early November 2024. Since then, we’ve shifted our focus to the Weekly Newsletter. If you’d like to catch up on our recent writing, you can read my in-depth reflections on the past year here.
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.
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.
In the most recent instalment of our weekly newsletter, we shared these Pleated Barrel-Leg Chinos, and they were so popular, we thought we might post them here as well.

AUTUMN, that wistful interlude between the sultry veil of summer and the frozen stillness of winter, arrives in a cascade of rustling leaves, each one a reminder of the season's transitory beauty. The air, once laden with the languor of summer, now wears a crisper edge, a hint of the inevitable chill to come. The scent of oud and embers drifting from candles mingles with the earthy fragrance of fallen leaves, weaving a heady potion filled with melancholy.
