Caroline Withey, Buying Director
“Buy now, wear forever… no matter what style you’re opting for, make sure your wardrobe has at least one timeless cashmere option. Everyone should invest in a piece of luxury cashmere; its natural warmth from its premium fabrication makes it perfect for the colder seasons. There’s nothing I love more than spending cold winter days swaddled in some cosy cashmere! My favourite piece is the Cream Funnel Neck Tunic, which is so versatile it can be mixed and matched with other cashmere hats, socks and accessories. Timeless and luxurious, it’s the perfect present to keep everyone warm this season.”

Clare Wolfe, Senior Beauty Buyer
“This Elemis Box Set was my ultimate must-buy – we all need some hydration in our lives but after the exposure to the heat, air-con and (let’s face it) our daily busy lifestyles, this go-to skincare routine really helps to add some extra hydration and at the same time help to fight those pesky wrinkles. The value this box set offers is great, if you already love the pro-collagen range from Elemis, you will surely want to add in these extra care products to your routine. This is ideal for not just a beauty/skincare enthusiast but also for the person who deserves a pamper and wants a stress-free beauty routine.”

“My favourite piece is the Gold Mirror Ball Pendant Light from Tom Dixon. It’s one of the most identifiable Tom Dixon products, which takes inspiration from an eclectic mix of space helmets and disco balls. I think lighting is a key way to lift a room and make a bold statement, and this gold version matches the gold hardware in my dining room and sits beautifully above my circular table emitting the perfect ambient light. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to bring iconic design and innovation to their home.”

If you’re one that loves lunching with the girls or lounging around your home, then this piece is perfect for you. It’s versatile and luxurious, this cardigan will never go out of style.”

“Thinking ahead to autumn-winter, this Hugo Boss Robe in our brand-new Sand Colourway is an absolute essential for all those long nights in and chilly mornings ahead. A great neutral yet on-trend colour, made from 100% twisted cotton. The material is sumptuously soft and plush and is guaranteed to be a comforting yet cosy addition: a great treat for yourself or the perfect gift in the lead up to Christmas.”
