Holiday Gift Guide December 5th Ponchos, Porcelain, and Holiday Wishes I keep dreaming of the La Double J Soul Poncho in Bounty Placée Burgundy, the kind of piece you could discover in your grandmother’s closet and it would still feel perfectly of the moment. I have always loved ponchos; I wore my old one through countless autumns and winters before giving it away after one glass of wine too many and a stranger’s persistent compliments.This one, though, I would not let slip so easily. And while we are at it, I would not mind adding one more treasure from La Double J to my holiday wishlist, the Big Bubble Vase in porcelain in Colombo Black. A sculptural little dream, bold, joyful, and a tiny bit eccentric, just like the perfect gift should be. Find the poncho here and the vase here Images Courtesy of La Double J
Ritz Paris x FRAME images courtes of Ritz Paris & FRAME The fifth instalment of the Ritz Paris x FRAME collaboration has officially landed, once again uniting timeless Parisian refinement with sun-drenched Californian ease. The result is a formula of style that feels both effortless and unmistakably elevated. Captured in a reportage-style shoot at the iconic Ritz Paris, the campaign stars musician and actress Lou Doillon — a fitting embodiment of the collection’s laid-back glamour. When retro-preppy attitude meets Parisian poise, the synergy is striking: a confident, worldly, and distinctively crafted wardrobe. As in previous seasons, the Ritz Paris emblem adds a touch of high-society sparkle to modernised staples. The collection revisits tailoring and cashmere while reintroducing the perennially sold-out Ritz Paris baseball cap, now in a rich chocolate-brown colourway. The full collection is available on the Ritz Paris E-Boutique, with pieces arriving at the Ritz Paris Hotel Boutique from 5 December.
Holiday Gift Guide December 4th A gift for the one who has everything We all know that friend or family member who seems to own everything and is notoriously hard to impress. This is where the L’Occitane hand soap steps in—with a design that works just as beautifully in a rustic cabin as in a sleek city apartment. The substantial glass bottle, apothecary-inspired pump and weighty feel give it a sense of thoughtfulness and quality. Crafted in the tradition of proven savoir-faire in Provence, this soap is made with high-quality vegetable oils and enriched with nourishing shea butter. The scent is a fresh stroll through the hills of Provence: green notes of verbena leaves and blossoms combined with crisp citrus and a hint of eucalyptus. Soft sunlight meets invigorating breeze. Size: 350 ml (glass edition) Find the soap here Image Courtesy of L’Occitane
OAS x Colbo – Limited Edition Corduroy Robe images courtesy of OAS and Colbo On 4 December, Swedish brand OAS and New York–based label and retail concept Colbo come together in downtown Manhattan to unveil a limited-edition robe: a long, deep brown silhouette with hand-stitched dark-brown piping, crafted in heavy corduroy and inspired by Stockholm’s historic city centre. Despite their contrasting signatures, the collaboration feels both unexpected and entirely natural. OAS, known for its playful approach to colour and pattern, and Colbo, celebrated for relaxed silhouettes, muted palettes and material-driven design, meet through a shared appreciation for craft, detail and a sense of place. The robe takes cues from Stockholm’s architecture — weathered wooden doors, wrought-iron details and warm façades that have shaped the city since the 17th century. Produced by a long-standing family-run atelier in Portugal, every step of the process takes place under one roof, from spinning and dyeing the yarn in small batches to weaving the fabric and finishing each piece by hand. At Colbo, the focus lies on objects that feel both lived-in and intentional — pieces that carry warmth, purpose and quiet confidence — while OAS is known for elevating the everyday with ease. The collaboration becomes an organic meeting point that merges these worlds with authenticity. The campaign was photographed in Brooklyn by Lucia Bell-Epstein. The collaboration launches on 4 December at Colbo, 51 Orchard Street, New York City, followed by a global release on 5 December at oascompany.com and colbo.nyc.
Holiday Gift Guide December 3rd The Aarke Coffee Press One of my favourite moments of the day? When I have my coffee in the morning. That is why the Aarke Coffee Press is on top of my wishlist.

Big plus is that it’s made from sleek stainless steel, so it channels Aarke’s signature industrial-chic style! Read more here Image Courtesy of Aarke
Holiday Gift Guide December 2nd A Christmas Travel Wish: Chase the Northern Lights If there’s one gift that captures the magic of the season, it’s the chance to experience nature at its most breathtaking moments. This year, a journey into the North beyond the Arctic Circle, is on the wishlist. Where the Northern Lights brights up the night in shades of emerald, green, and violet – and where nature and Scandinavian calmness are in the center. For example taking the train to Abisko, Sweden, where the skies are famously clear and the Northern Lights paint sweeping arcs above frozen lakes. Or further west into Norway’s wild north, with its dramatic fjords, coastal mountains, and Arctic towns such as perhaps the town of Bodø and the inspiring Wood Hotel Bodø, that looks incredible on photos with its warm timber interior and expansive views of the nature. Walking around white landscapes, hearing only the crunch of snow beneath your boots. Trips like these I can image aren’t just vacations; they’re acts of wellbeing. As someone who just turned 30, and wishes to be self aware and closer to nature. This Christmas, I wish for travels that includes experiences that stays with you long after you’ve returned home.

Marimekko’s Pre-Spring 2026 Collection Explores Composition and Decomposition “For 2026, we highlight the art of printmaking as our overarching theme,” says Emmakaisa Kirves, Design Director for Ready-to-Wear and Bags & Accessories at Marimekko. The brand’s Pre-Spring 2026 collection blends refined composition with playful proportions, offering a contemporary take on breaking down silhouettes and rethinking the fundamentals of printmaking. Simplified forms and reconsidered trims set the tone, while opposing lengths and unexpected proportions bring movement to both prints and shapes. The palette pairs two iconic Marimekko combinations, black and yellow, and true red with navy blue, with delicate, barely-there hues such as baby blue, powder peach and soft pink, creating a soft backdrop for the season’s bold mood. This collection continues Marimekko’s exploration of printmaking through fresh techniques. The ornamental Keidas pattern by Annika Rimala (1960s) appears as Broderie anglaise, used both in trims and as a key material across dresses, skirts and trousers. As a counterpoint, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi’s architectural stripe patterns, Galleria and Hennika, add a sharp contrast. “Pre-Spring acts as a palette cleanser, balancing barely-there shades with bold classics and exploring the interplay of composition and decomposition through repetition, proportions and opposites,” concludes Emmakaisa Kirves.
