Bespoke services for hair

Alfred Dunhill is widely known for its luxury and tailored jackets, leather goods, writing instruments and clothing for men emanating the British classic style.

I have visited a few Alfred Dunhill's emporium and would always notice a vintage leather couch - lawyer's style- which adds to the sharp and classic appeal of its interiors.  I do not remember Alfred Dunhill's sales staffs offering whisky though. LOL

For the discerning clients, Alfred Dunhill offers bespoke tailoring services.

But what makes the Alfred Dunhill's store in London more than ordinary, otherwise known as the Bourdon House is the premium services available other than bespoke menswear and leatherwear.

The Bourdon House, a Gregorian mansion in Mayfair, London, boasts its own Barber surrounded by its custom leatherwear and menswear.

 And if this sounds to be a perfect retreat and haven for its clients, the Bourdon House has spa, humidor and bar lounge too. If any of these services do not impress you, watch in their private screening room instead. :-)

Cheers!

Self-tie or pre-tied bows?

I bet that I am not the only one who would normally have a dilemma as to whether wear a self-tie OR ready-tied bow, maybe for a number of practical reasons.

Get suave with suede!

I have received an email newsletter from Burberry Prorsum that its Autmn/Winter collection for this year and are now on sale. Among all the accessories, this one stands out - the Burberry Prorsum's new patchwork holdall in soft-velvet suede.

This holdall bag has a structured geometric patchwork made of suede, in Blackcurrant color 

Understated sophistication of a stationary

Many of us have been accustomed lately in using our fingers to press keys and glide through in tablets like Ipad instead of having a pen gripped in between our fingers and exercise are thoughts through writing. Some would say that stationaries have become obsolete but many would disagree specially with a leather-bound journal from Smythson of Bond Street.

Late summer bag pick - WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie

Summer is almost over but its never too late to grab some staple bags, if not for next year's summer. A perfect candidate for one of those essential summer bags will be from WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie,  which basically means "Want Essentials of Life".

This is the white O'Hare leather-trimmed cotton-canvass bag from WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie.

Polka-dots accessories for men

The recent collaboration between the Japanese born Yayoi Kusama,  avant-garde sculptor, painter and novelist, and the House of Louis Vuitton earned a very warm reception amongst fashion observers and other brand loyalists. 

STUBBorn velvet slippers from Stubbs and Wootton

Stubbs and Wootton was born in Palm Beach Florida in 1993 being purveyors of quirky yet elegant hand-made slippers available in Palm Beach, Southhampton and New York City and through their website.

Mulberry: Two bags in one!

Once in a while, it would be interesting and probably more practical to carry a briefcase by relieving your right (or left) arm with your two shoulders instead - not to mention if your briefcase is way heavy. Your iPad, keys, wallet, planners, notebook, phoneS (emphasis on "S" for those carrying more than one phone -LOL) and tons of stuff including the bag weight itself all add up for that "strained arm caused by carrying heavy briefcase experience". 

I hardly see dual function bags in men's line of bags. The Postmans Lock Backpack from Mulberry undoubtedly will not leave either of your hands much occupied as you can still hold your hot cup of coffee while carrying your briefcase behind your back. 

Mulberry bags are highly distinctive for its single flap closure with two belt-straps (in some designs) and buckle detail. 

Michael Phelps - hot in water with LV

I am not a big swimming sports fan but surely I can paddle and keep myself afloat while on water. Michael Phelps made record breaks and earned more than a dozens of Olympic medals. I got to learn that Phelps was diagnosed with ADHD syndrome at an early age. Maybe he found acquatic sports as a good outlet for his undeterred physical energy. Phelps also admits that Ian Thorpe is among his inspirations. 

Phelps became the youngest member of the American Swimming at the age of 15. 

Cartier - a toast to LOVE!

Louis Cartier is known not only for his extravagant and elegant watch designs, he is also known for timeless LOVE for his passion. Every Cartier jewelry or watch can be an instant heirloom and unique piece of art.

We went to Cartier flagship store in Marina Bay Sands Shopping Centre. 

 I wish I can leave this store wearing my new "Roadster" or "Calibre" watch from Cartier. LOL
