Breguet
Reine de Naples 8918, £46,600
Iconic watchmaker Breguet is celebrating International Women’s Day with a new version of its classic Reine de Naples model that pays tribute to women who have made indelible marks on history. Breguet looked to Caroline Murat, who was a patron of the arts, philanthropist and an avid collector (as well as the younger sister of Napoleon Bonaparte). Murat was also known for her fondness for timepieces, especially those made by Abraham-Louis Breguet, and wore one of the House’s first wristwatches. Today’s version pays homage to this original timepiece, with a new mint green version of the Reine de Naples. It is offset by a white mother-of-pearl dial, as well as a discreet black minutes track adorned with symbols inspired by the pocket watches developed by Abraham-Louis Breguet, open-tipped hands and a pear-shaped diamond sitting at the six o’clock mark. Two-tone green numerals also adorn the watch, alongside a unique number between 11 and 12 o’clock denoting the timepiece’s authenticity and referencing Breguet’s early number tradition. The inner flange and bezel also follow in the trend of feminine opulence, adorned with 117 diamonds, while the crown is topped with a beautiful briolette-cut diamond and the alligator leather strap fastened with a clasp decorated with 28 brilliant-cut diamonds. A stunning watch for a stunning woman.
Sabina Savage
The Temple of Pegasus Silk Shawl, £370
Sabina Savage has just unveiled her SS24 collection; titled ‘Mýthos’, the new line of designs are a love letter to Greek legends and mythology. The Temple of Pegasus, for example, pays tribute to Pegasus, the brave steed of Bellephoron, who stands in front of a carved temple decorated in his honour. The rest of the design is also filled with references to Greek storytelling, from Mount Olympus set in the background to painted vases either side of Pegasus detailing his his adventures. You could quite easily spend hours studying all the intricate details in this Sabina Savage scarf, although we think it would look just as good wrapped around your shoulders.
Hart Shoreditch x Soapsmith
Bath Soak Making Workshop (23 March-20 April 2024)

Throughout March and April, Hart Shoreditch will be hosting a series of workshops in collaboration with contemporary bath and body care label Soapsmith, where guests will be able to mix natural oils for their own bespoke bath soak creation (which will be wrapped up in a lovely gift box to take home). And, if you find yourself falling in love with the brand, you can swing by the hotel’s shop before you leave to stock up on its exclusive ‘Brick Lane’ collection of shampoo, conditioner and body wash, too. Happy sniffing.

It includes this stylish watch roll, made in black capra leather, and lined with soft suede to keep your watches in tip-top condition.

Samuel & Sons

Maximalist interiors are in this season – just ask Samuel & Sons, which has just teamed up with designer Timothy Corrigan on a curated collection of richly coloured fringes, braids and tassels inspired by neo-classical passementerie. ‘The Bagatelle Collection is directly inspired by the neo-classical designs of France in the second half of the 18th century, a period known for its refined elegance in coloration and style,’ said Timothy Corrigan. ‘With its rich detailing, this exquisite new collection brings the perfect finishing touch to any interior.’ Expect hand-tied tassels, silky finishes and opulent designs – perfect for accentuating any space with timeless elegance.
Buy NowMeriwether
Agnes Coat, £895
Outerwear, but make it chic. While the British weather remains decidedly damp, a dependable coat is a must – and this trench is a particularly brilliant choice. It’s windproof, breathable and (crucially) water-repellent, but it’s also effortlessly stylish; we love the olive accents and the ever-so-oversized silhouette.
FABERGÉ X 007
James Bond Octopussy Collection
If the sight of eggs has yet to put you off after Easter weekend – or you’re simply and avid James Bond fan – then you’ll want to check out this new collaboration between Fabergé and the 007 archives. Inspired by the iconic film Octopussy, the collection is comprised of a hand-crafted limited-edition egg objet (which comes in a limited run of 50) and a special edition egg surprise locket, crafted in gold and enamel.
‘The Fabergé x 007 Octopussy Egg Surprise Locket closely follows the design of the Fabergé egg that was featured in the film Octopussy,’ says Liisa Tallgren, Head of Design at Fabergé. ‘I introduced a different style of guilloché underneath the enamel which works better with the scale and size of the egg locket. The geometric style guilloché engraving perfectly complements the intricate latticework of the piece, and feels contemporary. I also wanted to incorporate the iconic letter “O” from the Octopussy film’s title treatment in a playful way, which you can see featured as the bail on the piece.’
The Deck
The Trench Coat, £2,295
Another British brand to recently acquire B Corp status is Savile Row women’s tailor The Deck, making it the first made-to-measure tailoring house to achieve certification in the UK. ‘We are thrilled to have certified as B Corp and are proud to be the first made-to-measure tailoring house in the UK to be awarded this certification,’ said Daisy Knatchbull, founder of The Deck. ‘It has always been of the utmost importance for The Deck to be an antidote to fashion’s prevailing throwaway culture and to support responsible textile producers with transparent supply chains. This certification reinforces this commitment and ensures our continuous accountability and transparency.’ Fancy celebrating the occasion? Then you’ll want to get yourself down to Savile Row for a swanky new suit…
SBTRCT
Daily Body Cleanse, £14
Didn’t you know? Bodycare is the new skincare. The first step on your new bodycare journey is a good cleanser – and we know just the product to get you started. Inspired by the Japanese ritual of forest bathing, the Daily Body Cleanser by plastic-free beauty brand SBTRCT offers a no-soap formula that leaves skin feeling soft and supple (partly in thanks to an ultra-moisturising blend of coconut and rosehip seed oil). It doesn’t hurt that it smells great, too. Think top notes of pine needle, followed by frankincense and labdanum, and a base of smooth cedar wood, balsam and patchouli – the perfect reminder of the forest.

Spring’s happiest trend has arrived: meet the joy jacket.

We’ve fallen for this reversible quilted jacket from KITRI, which can be flipped between a sunny yellow and a red floral design – perfect for channelling spring.

You can try it out for yourself with Joules’s Set Match jumper, which draws its influence from Wimbledon – think embroidered tennis rackets and other icons, as well as summery references ranging from suns and strawberries to a ‘strawberries and cream’ slogan.
Skall Studio
Lani Dress Optic White, £570
Celebrating its 10th anniversary this year is Skall Studio, a Danish fashion and lifestyle label with a flair for Scandi aesthetics crafted from organic materials. While you can shop the brand online, if you want to get your fix of in-person shopping in the UK then you’ll need to make your way down to beautiful Notting Hill concept store Couverture & The Garbstore – where you’ll find a curated selection of pieces from Skall Studio, like this gorgeous white dress. We can imagine this being a staple piece throughout spring and summer.
