Each week we present to you some of the best products on the planet. Whether it's energy boosting supplements or coffee-table essentials, these are the items that you need to shake up your lifestyle for the better...
Cheaney - Strand EF Saddle Loafer in Ash Suede
Northamptonshire craftsmanship gets a warm-weather update with the Strand from Joseph Cheaney & Sons. Cut in a muted, dusty ash suede that pairs naturally with summer's lighter palette (but won't look rakish come autumn time), a clean saddle design is offset by a distinctive swoosh detail along the side, while contrast beige stitching echoes the natural leather sole underneath. This pair is also finished with an extra flex leather sole for prime underfoot comfort.
SPOKE - Merino Tee
Summer has turned a corner, and with it comes the post-sunset chill that catches often catches the sartorially unprepared somewhat underdressed. It's the point in the year where subtle layering and considered fabric choice matter, and SPOKE's Merino Tee is a strong place to start. Knitted from 70 per cent extra-fine merino wool, it regulates temperature and resists odour while a herringbone-finished hem adds visual interest and extra drape. A summer-to-autumn staple that ensures no late-night al fresco frivolity is missed.
Jaeger-LeCoultre - Polaris Date
Jaeger-LeCoultre's diving heritage has received a striking update in the Polaris Date, with its oceanic dial built from 42 layers of coloured and translucent lacquer to achieve that graduated blue depth. The compact 40mm case keeps the sporting proportions wearable day-to-day, while the in-house Calibre 899 delivers a 70-hour power reserve and 20-bar water resistance. A rotating inner bezel and interchangeable canvas strap complete this genuinely practical piece.
Maison Telmont - Emirates GBR - Réserve Brut Limited Edition
Fresh off winning the historic treble in 2025 (Season Championship, Impact League, and season leaderboard) Emirates GBR SailGP Team has a genuine claim to being Britain's best sailors, and Telmont has bottled a tribute to match. Dressed in the team's colours as a nod to their F50 catamaran, this Réserve Brut blends the 2021 harvest with reserve wines spanning seven vintages across Chardonnay, Meunier, and Pinot Noir, delivering the House's signature freshness and fine, persistent bubbles.
ARTAH - Cellular Hydration Recovery
Most electrolyte powders are built for marathon runners, but ARTAH's Cellular Hydration is designed for the rest of us: low-sodium, sugar-free, and pitched at everyday energy rather than endurance activity. Magnesium, potassium, and calcium do the core replenishing work, while Peruvian maca and Vitamin C add a stimulant-free lift and a dose of prebiotic fibre to support the gut. Clean citrus flavour, and with no artificial sweeteners, it certainly helped revive some of our guests the morning after our Long Summer Lunch.
Globe-Trotter - A&K Sanctuary - The Sundowner Trunk
Since Geoffrey Kent's mobile camps first brought refrigerated champagne into the Kenyan bush in the 1960s, the sundowner has had a special place on every Abercrombie & Kent safari - finally finding a permanent home in the form of The Sundowner Trunk. Handcrafted at Globe-Trotter's Hertfordshire workshop to celebrate the opening of Kitirua Plains Lodge in Kenya's Amboseli region, this bespoke portable bar pairs an oak-inspired exterior and signature Vulcanised Fibreboard with polished brass hardware and Centenary Collection detailing. Inside, twenty-two leather-lined compartments and a full-width drawer hold glassware, bottles, and bar tools, ready to be set up wherever the sunset happens to fall.
Glenglassaugh - 15-Year-Old
Glenglassaugh's coastal warehouses on the Moray Firth continue to shape one of Scotland's most distinctive single malts, and the brand's 15-Year-Old gives fans of the renowned 12-Year-Old iteration something to trade up to. Matured further in Pedro Ximénez sherry and Spanish wine casks, it layers chocolate and coffee notes over the distillery's signature tropical fruit and a distinct touch of sea salt.
Purdey - Cashmere Tweed Raglan Field Coat
The Glorious 12th is upon us, and tweed is slowly making its way back to the front of the sporting wardrobe, and (if your field coat is looking a little long in the tooth) it might be worth an upgrade to Purdey's reworked classic. Made in Italy from 100 per cent Scottish tweed with a cashmere addition for softness, it's built with a Sympatex drop liner and HD wool wadding, cartridge pockets, and fleece-lined hand warmers for when the weather takes a turn for the worst.
MR MARVIS - Cosmics Originals Shorts
Like its full-leg counterpart, the versatility of a strong chino short knows no bounds. Primed for relaxed days on the golf course, drinks on the veranda, or even casual days in the office, MR MARVIS's Cosmics prove the point in dark blue stretch cotton. An elasticated waistband and engraved button fly keep things comfortable, while a hidden zip pocket and single welt back pocket add practical detail without cluttering the silhouette. Handmade in Portugal, worn everywhere.
Assouline - Tangier Tangerine
Where Africa meets Europe across a narrow strait, Tangier has long drawn those looking to reinvent themselves, and this Assouline volume captures both its storied past and lived-in present. Written by Souleiman Berrada, secretary of the city's Foundation for Photography, it traces the artists who shaped Tangier's legend while stepping inside homes and down historic streets rarely seen by outsiders.
Paul Smith - Artek - Aalto Four Colour-Stained Stool 60
Alvar Aalto's Stool 60 has been reinterpreted through Paul Smith's lens for a second time, and the details are as playful as one might expect. The birch seat keeps its natural wood stain, but flip it over and a bold pillar-box red lining is revealed on the reverse - a nod to the vibrant interiors hidden inside Paul Smith's tailoring. The three bentwood legs are individually painted sky blue, rust, and British racing green, all drawn from the brand's 40-shade Signature Stripe.
