The finest faux fur
“I really believe our faux fur is the loveliest on the market. Whether made into heavenly cushions or throws, our truly luxurious hot-water bottle covers or our much-loved tote bags – it just looks and feel incredible. Super soft and silky, with a luxuriously deep, cosy pile, October is always the moment, I love to layer it back onto our bed and into life again.”
The scent of Christmas
“For over 25 years, Winter has been our most-loved scent. I can’t tell you how much it means to me to hear why you love it and what it means to you. The moment I begin to light it again, is the signal that the season is coming. Bringing back memories of Christmases past and the excitement of one to come. This year don’t miss our new editions – still a winter candle, but now in two beautiful new glass vases.”
The easiest upgrade
“A great looking placemat upgrades the look of even the most beautiful tables instantly. This season our new Velvet Placemats are top of my list. Made from a lovely, pure-cotton with a super stylish rib, they work equally well in a town or country setting. Layer them up with white china, a loosely folded napkin and lots of candlelight, for a table that feels special but not too formal.”
The sophisticated Fair Isle
“This is my Christmas jumper sorted! Not being one for too much colour – I love that it’s got all the design details of Fair Isle but in pure porcelain, which is such a flattering tone. Beautifully made from a lovely wool blend with a dash of cashmere, it feels so good to wear and pairs perfectly with everything from evening trousers or a skirt to every shade of weekend jeans.”
The love of pointelle
“The real beauty of pointelle is how it feels so blissfully soft, comfy and warm, yet is wonderfully lightweight and feminine too. This pair is an exciting new look for us. Made from a brilliant organic-cotton blend with just a touch of stretch – the modern, flattering silhouette, also has a fun, tiny flash of red on the lettuce trims. Perfect for gifting (if you can bear to part with them).”
The tone of the season
“Warm, rich Chocolate is undoubtedly one of the must have tones of the season – I love how sophisticated it looks on a table. For me, setting a really special table is all about clever, little details, these new lustrous velvet bows are pre-tied and ready to go, and deliver a chic, modern look for a special dinner party, or Christmas day. They pair beautifully with our Symons napkins too.”
The guest room must have
“Inspired by a vintage carafe we found in Paris, this gorgeous new set is one of those little things that makes a guest bedroom feel really considered. Made from super high-quality lead-free crystalline glass, it catches the light beautifully and is such a favourite of mine. Pair with a little flower vase and favourite candle and you instantly have a room that feels welcoming and homely.”
The way to layer light
“I love layering candlelight. On a coffee table or a mantelpiece, a hall console or dining table layered candles just create the best atmosphere. I’ve already bought this new candlestick collection and have been pairing it with lots of different pieces. They work beautifully alone but also look great with modern glass, organic ceramics or low-level mercury tealights. Wonderful as a gift for a new home owner, too.”
