Really please don’t, although the sun is out, it is too early…
So Valentines has been and gone. I have to admit on Wednesday I struggled to push the door to the shop open because of the huge amount of post piled up on the mat. I carefully opened each and every one, and I must say that every each and every one brought a tear to my eye. Some reminders, some final, even a few summoning me, I felt truly loved and blesssed. How thoughtful of everybody to send me a bill on the exact same day.
Anyway, why not cover up in style? You know you want to, everybody else would appreciate it as well.
Here are some of the new bits and pieces that have arrived.
Each item purchased distracts Jake for long enough for him not to worry about jinxing the season that ‘Wonder Wolves’ are having!
And do remember with each purchase you will be getting me a step closed to going back to Ibiza!

And then also a limited edition jean made exclusively for us and limited to 15 pairs. This will be the first of many new styles. We will produce regular limited edition models and also the denim is now available made to measure.

Following last month’s newsletter, I have had a note from my accountant asking me to stop wasting jokes. He said it costs too much money and I should know better.
Oh, what a joyless life I live!
Then that’s the problem with accountants, they are always ganging up on me, apparently there is safety in numbers!!!
I have set up new collaboration with a luggage maker in Italy.
The first pieces have now arrived, and the results are spectacular.
Made in a very soft brown calf leather and trimmed with orange leather handles and stitching they are limited to 3 pieces in each design.
Inside they are lined with brown cotton canvas and orange leather trim.

And finally the Roll Bag, that isn’t a Roll Bag, but a suit carrier priced at £690. Sadly these are either all sold or on hold for people. I may make some more, in the same colour because of demand, but it will only be another 3, we will then change the colour combination.
Is that here to stay, or here today and gone tomorrow?

I would like to inform of a little trip I shall be undertaking at the end of the month.
From the afternoon of the 29th November I shall be in Hong Kong until late evening on Wednesday 2nd December.
I shall be looking after the sartorial needs of several of my friends either based, living or just passing through. If you would like me also look after your sartorial needs whilst I am there, please feel free to get in touch. Hopefully I will have enough time to catch up with everyone.
You will be able to find me at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental, and not Christmas shopping.
I look forward to seeing you, sadly my suitcase is already full for those of you who were thinking of hitching a lift
