Loro Piana Leather-Trimmed Logo-Embroidered Denim Baseball Cap
There are caps, and then there are caps. This soft denim example of the latter has been beautifully crafted in Italy and accented with contrasting leather piping to striking effect. In a wonderfully subtle touch, it features a tonal logo embroidered at the front, while a checked twill lining and adjustable strap at the back make for practical and impeccable finishing touches.

Foundrae 18-Karat Gold, Diamond and Enamel Necklace
Designed to motivate and inspire, Foundrae’s jewellery is always immaculately finished, and this necklace is no exception. Crafted using 18-karat gold and boasting two diamond-embellished medallions—the label’s ‘Protection’ pendant and the enamelled ‘Dream’ medallion—the necklace’s thin belcher chain provides an elegant way of tying this remarkable piece of jewellery together.

Diptyque Figuier Scented Candle
As soon as you see this candle’s oval-shaped label—a subtle tribute to the shields of ancient Rome’s legionaries—you know it’s from the French brand Diptyque, so you’re in for something special. From its hand-blown glass vessel to the notes of woody bark, crisp leaves, and sweet fruit, this ode to the fresh essence of fig trees is a delight both visually and aromatically. The paraffin-coated cotton wick is also guaranteed to remain upright, ensuring the candle burns evenly for up to 60 hours.

Amalgam Collection Aston Martin DB5 Limited Edition 1:8 Model Car
Like all Amalgam Collection models, this tribute to the most famous car ever driven by a certain British secret agent was made possible by thousands of hours of research, design, and handcrafting from the most highly skilled artisans. A limited edition of just 199, this 1:8 scale replica of the Aston Martin DB5 is among the most desirable in Amalgam Collection’s collection, a factor only elevated when you consider this model was constructed by hand using official specs supplied by the iconic British carmaker. As such, you can expect every detail to be authentically recreated.
