An unlikely but brilliant collaboration: vintage dealers OOTO (Out of the Ordinary), who find rarities for private clients like Kim Kardashian or Rihanna and costumes for films from House of Gucci to Saltburn, were approached by high street boho brand Monsoon to curate 1990s designer originals for its Portobello Road vintage store, which recycles its 1970s and 1980s originals. The first pieces include names like Gianni Versace, Prada and Lagerfeld-era Chanel, all under £500. Celebrates Monsoon's half-century with a selection refreshed every six weeks.
Animal magic - Shaun Leane’s new collection, Signum, began in lockdown when he befriended a family of urban foxes and later discovered ancient beliefs from his ancestral Irish homeland, where animal spirits represent desirable human qualities. Single Mine Origin gold shield shapes (for protection) are hand-engraved and enamelled with a choice of nine animals and six enamel colours for personalised rings, bracelet and pendants.
The second collaboration between British watch brands Bremont and Bamford Watch Department shines a new light on the traditional dive watch.
