Editor’s Picks: a Hadoro Paris iPhone, a pair of Hamilton and Hare pyjamas and the Hermès Delick dice game
From the swim shorts that will have you dreaming of the beach, to the cashmere that will keep you warm until you get there...
Baby, it’s cold outside — and this week our wish list is looking distinctly warming. Whether we’re layering up in a Loro Piana cashmere shirt jacket, or cosying up in a pair of luxurious Hamilton and Hare pyjamas, here are the winter warmers we’ve got our eyes on this week…
Party on: Ruark Audio MRx connected wireless speaker
Filling a room with rich sound is something the experts at Ruark Audio know a thing or two about. You can connect the MRx with other Ruark devices around the home to create a house full of sound. With their beautifully minimal design you’ll want to have one of these stylish speakers in every room.
Snuggle up: Hamilton and Hare cotton cashmere pyjamas
An incredibly soft handle, these are perfect for wearing to bed or just around the house after a long day. A good pair of pyjamas is essential at this time of year – when mornings and evenings are getting so cold the best plans you can make are to stay in, make a fire and relax in your new cotton cashmere pyjamas.
Keep a watch: Vacheron Constantin patrimony moon phase and retrograde date
Designing a watch is not as straightforward as some might think. But this model seems to just fit together perfectly, with the arch of the moon phase at six being echoed with the arch of the retrograde date taking up the top half of the watch. This perfection in design is matched in the quality of the movement that can be seen through the sapphire case back.
Smell the coffee: Elektra mini vertical A1C espresso machine
If you fancy yourself as an at home barista then you’ll need to kit yourself out with the right tools of the trade. Elektra have applied all of their expertise to this latest coffee making creation. It comes with a dual-purpose boiler meaning you’ll get the perfect shot and smooth frothy milk for that cappuccino.
Lock and load: Ian Coley clay shooting tuition voucher
We can’t all be hot shots when it comes to going on a shoot, so get a bit of expert tuition from some of the best in the business at Ian Coley, who will help you zero in on the target far quicker than you ever thought imaginable. Your session can be tailored to your ability, from complete novices to seasoned shots, so anyone can get something out of this thoughtful gift.
Take a call: Hadoro Paris iPhone Emerald Wood
Struggling to know what to buy for the person who has everything? Hadoro is the premium brand who have redefined what you can expect from a trusty phone case. Rather than being an attachment for your device, Hadoro custom design whole iPhones to make them look like precious jewels We love this design, dyed in vibrant emerald green and made using a piece of relic Karelian wood — no two pieces are completely the same.
Escape to the beach: Frescobol Carioca Classic Swim Shorts by Aman Urokomon
If, like us, you’re already dreaming about the next chance we might get to swap our scarves for our swim shorts, then why not bring a little piece of sunshine home with these new offerings from Frescobol Carioca. We love this print, which has been inspired by the visual culture and aesthetic of Japan — and will have you turning heads for all the right reasons.
Wrap up warm: Loro Piana Suede-Trimmed Cashmere Shirt Jacket
If you can’t quite face the thought of buying beachwear for the summer sun just yet, then why not invest in the pieces that promise to keep you warm this December. The beauty of Loro Piana‘s shirt jacket is you can wear it in so many ways — and it looks just as good buttoned up as it does as an outer layer over sweaters. Expertly crafted in Italy from weighty cashmere, trimmed with suede and finished with plenty of utility pockets, this is going straight to the top of our wishlist this Christmas.
Commemorate the lost: There But Not There Tommy
Following the 2014 ceramic poppies at the Tower of London, which represented the 888,246 British and Commonwealth servicemen and women who lost their lives in the First World War, this Tommy commemorates the centenary of the end of the 1914-1918 war and those who lost their lives. For a personal touch, you can also opt to have the name of someone you would like to commemorate engraved on the base of the statue, and all profits will help to support a range of incredible charities.
Try your luck: Hermès Delick Dice Game
If there’s one thing we can guarantee will be taking centre stage at our Christmas parties this year, it is the obligatory board game competition. This annual ritual might have the power to put even your closest relationships through a serious test, but at least this year we can ensure that your living room will look a whole lot cooler as you do it.
This Delick Dice Game by Hermès might just be the coolest (and not to mention indulgent) item on our list this week — but ’tis the season to be decadent.
