Louis Vuitton Tambour Convergence Gets A Mirrored Makeover
No hands here. Louis Vuitton‘s Tambour Convergence chronograph shows the time through a small window, or guichet, and when it launched in 2025 it was the first watch of its kind fully conceived at the house’s Geneva-based watchmaking manufacturer, La Fabrique du Temps Louis Vuitton. The first three models were all about artisanal craft. This one is about the metal. The new Mirror Steel is cased in a proprietary hardened steel and polished until it gleams. Tough, sleek and very reflective, it’s a feat of mirrored mastery. Discover more here.
Completedworks Opens On Chiltern Street
More than a decade after founding their brand in London, Anna Jewsbury and Mark Jewsbury, the siblings behind Completedworks are finally opening a flagship on Marylebone’s Chiltern Street. Upstairs you’ll find jewellery, handbags, homeware and furniture arranged in discovery displays that invite you to look closer and linger. Downstairs sits the studio and jewellery workshop, so a piece can go from first sketch to shop floor without leaving the building. Expect a bespoke jewellery service, pieces you can only buy in store, and a programme of exhibitions, talks and workshops. As Anna, the brand’s artistic director puts it, it’s meant to be a place for exchange, not just shopping. Discover more of the best of both worlds here.
Ferrari Turbocharges Montblanc
The name might be a mouthful, but the pen is pure speed. Montblanc and Ferrari are back for round two of their partnership, introducing the Meisterstück Great Masters Ferrari Tailor Made Inedita Special Edition. This time they’ve swapped last year’s classic elegance for the experimental spirit of Inedita, the wildest corner of Ferrari’s Tailor Made personalisation programme. The cap and barrel are carbon fibre, the same stuff that keeps supercars light and fast, finished with sleek black fittings. A small aluminium Prancing Horse symbol sits on the barrel, and the Montblanc emblem on the cap comes in Azzurro Dino, a blue named after Enzo Ferrari’s son and once worn by racing drivers on their overalls. Underneath, a handcrafted solid gold nib. Your signature has never gone so fast. Get yours here.
Thom Browne Goes Globe Trotting
Globe-Trotter cases have been to Antarctica with Captain Scott, up Everest with Sir Edmund Hillary and on Queen Elizabeth II’s honeymoon. Now they’re getting the Thom Browne treatment. Each case is handmade in Hertfordshire, through 98 separate steps over about ten days, using Victorian-era machinery. The body is vulcanised fibreboard, which is 14 layers of recycled paper, cotton and wood pulp, stronger than leather and lighter than aluminium. The brand once had an elephant stand on one to prove it. Thom Browne adds pebble grain leather corners and handles, red, white and blue webbing straps, a university-stripe Oxford lining and his 4-Bar label. Choose from a large check-in case, a carry-on or a tiny micro case on a leather strap. Start trotting the globe in style, get yours here.
Yinka Ilori Goes Full Footie Fan For Tottenham Hotspur
Yinka Ilori, a British-Nigerian artist and designer, has just reimagined Spurs’ 2026-27 Away shirt, penning a love letter to Tottenham’s markets, food, languages and mix of cultures. Ilori grew up nearby in Islington and is now Artist in Residence at Heart of Hale in Tottenham Hale, so he knows the area well. On the back of the shirt is the line “We Are Tottenham, Wherever We Go.” Ilori says football makes you “feel at home, wherever you are.” Wear it to the terraces, or anywhere else. Available now in store and online. Cop yours here.
Joshua Bullen joins A-Cold-Wall*
A-Cold-Wall* has its first Designer in Residence, and he arrives with quite the CV. Joshua Bullen has been head of design at Stone Island, design director of menswear at Givenchy and design director at Kenzo, and he’s a Central Saint Martins graduate who went back to teach there. At ACW he’ll put his own spin on the brand’s codes of sportswear, utility and tailoring, which it describes as “grey sky thinking” and as “refined in form, purposeful in function”. Bullen says the brand stands for “community, culture, lifestyle but most importantly good design.” Group CEO Ben Banks admits it’s “a difficult moment for the fashion industry,” but sees a chance to “shape a new vision.” Bullen’s first collection debuts in Paris for AW27.
Jimmy Choo Taps Olivia Dean For Choo Stories
Olivia Dean has danced through every night of her sold-out The Art of Loving Live world tour in Jimmy Choo. Now the house is sharing the footage to launch Choo Stories, a new film series about life’s big moments and the shoes worn for them. The film takes you backstage on tour and into Jimmy Choo’s London studio, where creative director Sandra Choi made Dean custom pumps in gold, pink and citrus, finished with crystals. They’re based on ready-to-wear styles like the Amita, Isa, Love Pump and Love Slingback, so you can borrow a little of her shine. Dean says the shoes make her “feel powerful and sexy,” and that owning a pair is “like the prize in your wardrobe.” Choi says designing for Dean meant “designing for movement.” Proof that heels and dancing can, in fact, get along.

Four Pence Drop Collection Two
Four Pence started as a lockdown project, with founder Rufus Dorey turning his grandfather’s pre-decimal coins into jewellery. Six years on, the London studio is going bigger and brighter. Collection Two is a 30-piece capsule of mostly sterling silver, with some solid gold, set with large, high-contrast stones in bold colours, both lab-grown and natural. The metals are 100% recycled and most pieces are made to order, so nothing goes to waste. The campaign film, entitled Doubles, is set at an underground poker game where a champion called Snake Eyes wins his opponents’ jewellery, until an underdog takes him on. At the centre of it all is a custom Four Pence dice, inspired by a childhood game Dorey once played with his dad and later found again in a charity shop. Unisex, ethical and very lucky.

Seventy One Gin Unveils Eau de Minuit And Teams Up With Trudon
Seventy One Gin was founded by photographer Mert Alas, and it’s a gin made for after dark. For Christmas it has two new ways to “gift the night”. Eau de Minuit is the brand’s first new gin in five years. It’s aged across three oaks and tastes of dark fruit, leather, tobacco, cacao and hazelnut, with Queen of the Night flower keeping things bright. Only 3,000 bottles exist. If you’d rather set the mood too, the Feu de Nuit gift set pairs the original golden gin with six handmade Trudon taper candles in its leather-and-tobacco Ernesto scent, plus a box of matches. Trudon has been making candles since 1643, so they know what they’re doing. Light the candles, pour the gin over ice and let the evening take its course. Both available online, get yours here.
