Having, penned, photographed and published a book on entertaining it felt like a perfect move to partner with Pomegranate on some table linens and the occasional glass and plate. Inspired by the art of Indian block printing and a love for the unmistakable beauty of things made by hand, Pomegranate make tablecloths and napkins through the ancient art of hand-block printing which has been practiced in India for over 800 years. I believe what makes a home are the memories, objects and above all family, but a decent prettily designed tablecloth or two certainly helps.

Addison Ross is a family owned and run British frame maker crafting frames as beautiful to the touch as they are to look at. This collection brings back memories of my childhood summers in Ireland, windy walks along the sand dunes, textured by tides and time, and soggy socks drying by the fire, drinking hot chocolate as smooth as velvet. Delivered in beautifully recyclable packaging Addison Ross’s frames hold what we value most.

Tusting is a family-run leather goods maker with a five-generation legacy stemming from 1875. Hand-made in the Tusting workshop in the English countryside, our bags, from mini to seriously large, combine sustainably produced leathers, no brash branding but a lot of British heritage. I bring my own story and combine it with five generations of Tusting knowledge and experience which goes into every exclusive piece.

A collection for Penelope Chilvers, soft as slippers boots and ballet flats, influenced by cowgirls, tomboys and adventurers lovingly crafted by Spanish artisans preserving rare footwear manufacturing techniques passed down from generation to generation “If something is to be made, it should be made well” Penny Chilvers always reminds me. Enduringly made to be passed down as heirlooms to my daughter Domino who will walk through the chapters of her own life in them.

Combining the finest materials and traditional craftsmanship, Heirlooms create luxury linens of exceptional quality and lasting beauty. Heirlooms have worked to measure and record their environmental impact and in 2020 joined Planet Mark as a vehicle through which they could record their carbon footprint and make positive improvements. A healthy planet and a good night’s sleep … two luxuries I dream of.

Fieldbar, my cool South African partners, live by a work ethos that is as cool as their coolers. “We are a diverse people. We have a history that still hurts. A history that we are still trying to mend. Our brand values are our internal values. We put people before productivity.” Fieldbar use modern materials to make their coolers like they did generations ago, they want to revive the belief system that their grandparents and the generations before them had, which is to buy something of quality and longevity and then repair and care for that item. I think that’s pretty cool.
