Introduced in 2014, Stella McCartney’s Elyse platform shoes have become bestsellers across the world.

Inspired by classic espadrilles, the new incarnations are destined to become seasonal wardrobe staples for years to come. Alongside the obvious style factors of a purchase from Stella McCartney, the brand’s spring/summer 2020 collection comes with an added environmental bonus.

When it comes to creating an iconic handbag, British brand Mulberry has more experience than most. Its latest creation, the Iris, is part satchel, part tote bag and is definitely destined to be a part of your wardrobe, says Lucinda Turner As one of London’s best-loved luxury brands, Mulberry is a must-visit when exploring the British capital. While classic designs such as the Bayswater and Lily bags are likely to have already found a home in many stylish wardrobes, it is the latest launches, designed under creative director Johnny Coca, that are truly worth making the trip for. One such creation is the Iris, featuring Mulberry’s signature Keystone Lock. Launched in 2019, the super-soft leather bag is a combination of relaxed and formal styles and can be easily dressed up or down for any occasion. Thanks to pull cords on either side of the bag, the timeless silhouette can be adjusted for a sleeker or fuller shape. Available in more than 10 different colourways and in two sizes, the Iris offers each customer the chance to put their own stamp on the bag. Once a shade has been chosen for the bag itself, the colour of the intricately woven handle can be selected. Whether it is a tonal classic hue or a vibrant two-tone choice, there are plenty of options for mixing and matching, with more added season on season. Alongside the interchangeable top handle, there’s other scope for personalisation, with additional chains in metal or acetate and letter charms available. So there will be no confusion over who each Iris bag belongs to. Practical, personal and perfectly formed, whether in timeless taupe or a seasonal pop of summery yellow, Mulberry’s Iris is sure to be a favourite for years to come ● Mulberry Iris bag, from £995, Mulberry, 50 New Bond Street, London W1S 1BJ, +44 (0)20 7491 3900, mulberry.com H FOR MAP GO TO PAGE 47

A CUT ABOVE Hackett recently moved into its new home at 14 Savile Row, an elegant townhouse that dates back to the 1730s and belonged to Sir Hardy Amies for more than 70 years. The redesign is as faithful to the Georgian period as possible, from the restoration of original panelling and fireplaces to the colour palette. Hackett’s tailoring showroom and cutting room is on the first floor, and there’s a ground-floor lounge featuring a cocktail bar. Visitors to the store will be able to shop the new ready-to-wear collection in addition to enjoying Hackett’s made-tomeasure and bespoke tailoring services. This beautifully executed renovation provides a fitting new home for one of Britain’s most respected tailoring brands.

Byredo has collaborated with Parisian jewellery designer Charlotte Chesnais on a collection of fine jewellery. Byredo’s founder Ben Gorham has been expanding the brand’s offering of late: he recently introduced leather goods and takes his exploration of materials further with this venture into jewellery. Called Value Chain, the collection focuses on the chain link. This is both a symbol for the collaboration and the key shape across the bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings. Designs come in sterling silver or gold, such as the pictured necklace and bracelet (price on request) and the collection also features pavé diamond designs, which are made to order.

This season Giuseppe Marretta presents his debut collection as the new menswear design director of Pringle of Scotland. He has taken defining elements of the historic Scottish knitwear brand – its argyle pattern, logo and yarns – and reinterpreted them through the prism of David Hockney’s art and through key British cultural tropes such as its sporting traditions. The swimming pool – a recurring theme in Hockney’s work – is referenced in the form of a dappled water motif on knitwear and denim. Elsewhere Marretta offers a take on Hockney’s Diver: it becomes a figure created through an intarsia technique on jumpers or embroidered on a badge. In this celebration of Hockney’s body of work, the new menswear design director cleverly plays with knit techniques in true Pringle of Scotland style.

10 QUESTIONS WITH ECE ŞIRIN, FOUNDER OF JEWELLERY BRAND BEE GODDESS Turkish jewellery designer Ece Şirin creates beautiful pieces inspired by talismanic symbols such as bees and roses. She tells Sally McIlhone how she left the corporate world to find spiritual fulfilment, how she established her brand, and how light is central to her ethos
1.
HOW DID YOU START BEE GODDESS? I was in the corporate world for several years. But no matter how successful I was, a void was growing in me. Many people are like me, soul searching. So what do you do when you soul search? You go shopping; you try to get fulfilment from spending money because you work so hard. But that happiness is not lasting, because the minute you buy your Rolex, you see somebody who has a bigger one; or you have a one-carat diamond and you see somebody with a 30-carat one. Consumerism affected me in a very negative way. At the same time I was doing what I call spiritual shopping. People try everything: today a shaman, the next day reiki – I did all of that. I was fed up so I left my job at Microsoft. I went
for a reading by an astrologer and was expecting to hear amazing things. He said, ‘You are here to serve others.’ I was very upset. The only good thing I heard was the word ‘goddess’. So I said, ‘I need to find the light in this whole thing’ and I started reading to find inspiration.
2.
WHO IS THE GODDESS? When I read the story of the moon goddess Diana, or Artemis, I felt ‘this is so me’ even though I was only at the seed level. She was a star, very far away but light. So, I initiated myself that day – I did my ritual. She got me into a very magical world. I didn’t believe in magic. But with this initiation, with her light, I found myself in the mystical world of symbolism.
3.
HOW DID THE BRAND DEVELOP? I came up with the idea of a brand which tells people the truth, that there is only one of you, one of each of us. That makes us limitededition pieces. If I know that I’m never going to meet anyone like you again, that there’s only one, you become so precious.
4.
WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE SWORD OF LIGHT SYMBOL? The Sword of Light is inspired by the sword given by the Lady of the Lake to King Arthur. Everyone said, ‘Are you not Bee Goddess? It’s
Save up to 20% by shopping tax free, see page 57
Above (from left): the Bee Goddess store in London; the brand’s Sword of Light bracelet; and Rosa Mundi bracelet
a very spiritual brand, why are you using a tool of war?’ But this is not a tool of war. A sword is a sharp mind and a sharp tongue. The sword is the faith in your heart. About 15 years ago, if anybody had told me, ‘in 10 years, you’re going to have a brand which Madonna, Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet wear and you’re going to have seven stores around the world,’ would I have been full of questions or in agony? The journey of self-fulfilment, realising your potential, turns from agony to joy because there is faith. We all need that.
5.
HOW DOES BEE GODDESS CELEBRATE WOMEN? This is a very matriarchal brand. The consumer world is driven by men; there aren’t many women who are owners of big brands or who run communications and advertising agencies. I think the world needs more feminine energy, cooperation and collaboration, sisterhood.
6.
WHAT IS THE MEANING BEHIND THE ROSA MUNDI DESIGN? It is the symbol of creation, of the whole of our ecosystem. You see the solar system in the rose design, with the sun and seven layers. The sun is in the centre of the solar system, and the seven layers are seven planets. This is also our heart, and there is a seven-layer maze to go through to reach our essence, to discover the light within.
7.
HOW MANY STORES DO YOU HAVE? This is the brand’s seventh year in retail and there are seven stores. The seven-pointed star from Ireland, also known as septagram and fairy star, is one of my symbols. The first seven years were like an incubation. In the chakras, there are seven steps or stages to life, and each is an awakening. The essence of Bee Goddess is light; everything is about light and how much light we have in our lives. Light is wisdom of the soul, beauty, love.
8.
WHY ARE REAL STONES IMPORTANT? Would you listen to me if I was using fake stones? No. The soul wants the utmost beauty. If you had the opportunity to eat on the finest porcelain or on paper which would you choose?
9.
HOW HAS FOUNDING THE BRAND CHANGED YOU? My journey has changed from slavery to empowerment. I feel enlightened and I really like to share that. I feel very blessed. I never thought serving could be so glorious. When you look at how the bees serve – they pollinate, they dance, there is the bee ‘song’ – it’s very joyful, and they make honey, which is concentrated light. If I hadn’t suffered, if I hadn’t been so unhappy, I wouldn’t have looked for the light. If you’re not hungry, you do not eat. The whole idea is to transform pain and suffering into light. We have that capability, we really do.
10.
WHY DO YOU HAVE SUCH A STRONG BELIEF IN SYMBOLS? We need something that connects us and symbols do that. It’s just that names change; Tanit, Ishtar, Aphrodite, Venus – they are all the same goddess. We are talking about archetypes. Symbolism is all in mythology, and mythology is last year’s religion or belief system. It’s the song of the soul. When we meet these archetypes in stories, we connect with them. They have a profound effect, healing and transforming us. These symbols are in our subconscious mind, our software.

Craftsmanship is a vital part of British heritage, and a diverse range of brands continues to produce topquality items on home soil, as Sally McIlhone discovers
34 | F E AT U R E
Britain’s history and culture of encouraging craftsmanship on home soil has made it a go-to for products that will stand the test of time
T
he value of investing in time-honoured British-made brands is unquestionable. Although there are a number of UKbased global manufacturing titans – longstanding and recently emerging players among them – Britain’s history and culture of encouraging craftsmanship on home soil has made it a go-to for products that will stand the test of time. Whether you are looking for a new scent, an item of tailoring or an impeccably crafted signet ring, there is a British brand for you. Floris’s fairy-tale story must be the envy of other brands. ‘We still run the business from the same shop in Jermyn Street, London, where it was established in back in 1730,’ says Edward Bodenham, perfumery director and ninth-generation owner of Floris. ‘All our products are produced in the UK. Our core values are about being British-made and about sustainability through the materials we use and the way we put them together.’ Sustainability is a concern for the majority of brands, but Floris

is keen to ensure it doesn’t become just another buzzword. ‘It’s important to invest back into our economy while reducing our carbon footprint,’ Bodenham says. Floris, he adds, is one of the original British perfume houses and its influence as a leader in the industry ‘can’t be undervalued’. Being a British-made brand helps Floris invest in home-grown perfumery talent. ‘Our perfumers all work in-house with me at the shop on Jermyn Street and have incredibly wide training,’ says Bodenham. ‘My top two perfumers have now worked with me for a combined 17 years, so we’ve built our skills together and are constantly developing as a team. Being British-owned and rooted in our heritage in London has given us a strong affinity to local manufacturing.’ While Floris is firmly part of the old guard, exciting younger British brands are also making a name for themselves. Rebus, a relative newcomer founded in 1971, produces handengraved signet rings, pendants and cufflinks.

Director Emmet Smith focused the brand on engraved jewellery from 2005, after beginnings in business-to-business hand engraving. ‘I did a five-year apprenticeship at a company called R H Wilkins,’ Smith says. When he finished the training he found that his boss wanted to retire, so he bought the business, and then decided to go direct to consumers. ‘We were getting so many signet rings from other highstreet jewellers that weren’t very good – thin, a bit wonky,’ he recalls. ‘I thought I could do better myself.’ Rebus now has an immaculately appointed store in the heart of Hatton Garden, London’s jewellery quarter, where it offers personalised rings at very affordable prices. Engraved initials start at £100 and crests from Victorian reference books start at £320. Items are packaged in a stunning gift box with a wax seal, and you’d struggle to find a more reasonably priced, handmade gift. A team of Rebus craftspeople creates 90% of its output on site.
‘We don’t do the stone setting yet,’ says Smith, adding that a trainee is learning that craft. ‘But the beauty of Hatton Garden is that we’ve got experts next door to each other, so the ring will just travel down the road and come back.’ The signet ring, long associated with the upper echelons of British society, is having a fashion moment, bringing a wave of new customers to Rebus. ‘You don’t have to be part of the landed gentry and have a family crest – you can make up whatever you want. Lots of people aren’t using heraldry any longer, they’re making up their own symbolism,’ says Smith. Clients bring in a mood board of symbols that have personal meaning, and work with Rebus to create a unique design. After the artwork is signed off, it takes around eight weeks to produce a bespoke item. ‘We can do anything,’ says Smith. And he really does mean anything. Some of the more intriguing designs have included a cat smoking a pipe and horses galloping through galaxies.

evolve with the wearer, twinned with a French fly to keep the shorts flat at the front. These functional details, where every element has been considered, are the key differences our customers look for.’ For Hemingsworth, British-based production is essential. ‘Given the tailoring complexity and levels of quality we require, there really is no other place in the world where we could make our products. It is very important as a British brand that we support and reinvest into British factories, people and skills. The sought-after reputation of British manufacturing that generations before have built needs to be recognised, and that tradition has to be continued.’ Jones’ words resonate with those of Emmet Smith at Rebus. ‘Quintessential British style is known throughout the world, whether it’s Savile Row or Hatton Garden,’ says Smith. ‘We’re known for innovation and fashion and arts. Being part of that gang is great’
Another brand that takes great pride in its range of British-made products is Hemingsworth, which brings together materials from overseas, such as mother-ofpearl buttons and technical fabrics, to create clothing for the jet-setting gentleman. ‘Of course, when it comes to manufacture, it has to be the UK or specifically London for us,’ says founder Matt Jones. Fusing ‘heritage Savile Row tailoring with cutting-edge material and fabric design’, Hemingsworth creates ingenious products, including the Clipper swim shorts. These are stocked in Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason, and, for 2020, will be in Harrods and Fenwick. ‘We bring together an uncompromising fit, timeless, versatile style and luxurious materials,’ says Jones. Clipper shorts are made from a 29-piece pattern and go through 17 hand-finished stages before leaving the London factory. ‘We’ve developed the first integral waist belt in a swim short to expand and

TABLE TALK In London, growing environmental concerns have given rise to a tempting range of restaurants with an eco-focus. Madeleine MurrayLyons samples some of the best
From Veganuary to #nobuyyear, the collective consciousness is becoming increasingly aware of the issues our planet faces as a result of climate change, deforestation and farming. What we eat is a huge contributing factor to the problems facing generations to come and many people are realising that small changes can make a big difference, not least of all applying the principles of sustainability to food consumption. A wave of conscious restaurants is making an increasing impact in the British capital, with venues championing local produce, carbon neutrality and even recycled decor. Whether you’re intrigued to sample wild food, visit a private member’s club with a heart or enjoy a sustainable tasting menu from one of the world’s most celebrated mixologists, London’s conscious restaurants are sure to leave you feeling sated and perhaps even a little saintly. globalblue.com
After our visit, Native shot straight to the top of our list of London foodie favourites. This awardwinning restaurant champions foraged food and game. Founders Imogen Davis and Ivan TisdallDownes share a passion for seasonal cuisine and they combine hunter gatherer know-how with an incredible palette. Thanks to their commitment, Native has progressed from street food markets and pop-ups to the London Bridge outpost it holds today. Its eco credentials are evident from a quick survey of the menu. Rather than import rice for its risotto starter, Native uses potato as the central ingredient. The discarded potato and skin then form the base for the potato waffle on the snack menu, which is served with Bramley apple jelly and the smoothest chicken liver parfait you’ll ever taste. Enjoy British-made wine, from sparkling options to whites and reds that certainly compete with their European counterparts. Whatever you do, don’t miss the Marrowmel dessert. We can’t wait to go back. Native, 32 Southwark Street, London SE1 1TU, +44 (0)7507 861570, eatnative.co.uk

BŌKAN

Bōkan has already carved out a name for itself among discerning London diners for its epic views of the Thames. Perhaps not as well-known as the Shard or Tower 42, Bōkan rewards those who journey a little off the beaten track and is perfectly placed for those exploring east London’s financial district. Offering a restaurant on the 37th floor, a bar on the 38th and a rooftop terrace on the 39th, it is the perfect summer discovery on a trip to the city. In addition to its spectacular views, the restaurant boasts a regularly changing vegan tasting menu, tapping into the need for more ethical fine dining options among London’s abundance of inexpensive plant-based comfort eats. When you dine at Bōkan, you’ll sample creations by executive chef Guillaume Gillan such as celeriac tagliatelle with sesame dressing, roasted potato and white truffle, and the likes of poached pear with choco sauce, and almond and pear sorbet for dessert. This five-course tasting menu is well worth sampling. Bōkan, 40 Marsh Wall, London E14 9TP, +44 (0)20 3530 0550, bokanlondon.co.uk

CUB Understandably, a conscious eatery from an acclaimed mixologist would put drinks at the heart of its offering, but that shouldn’t mean Cub’s food offering is discounted. Quite the opposite, in fact. Cub is the brainchild of Mr Lyan, the aforementioned cocktail maestro, and Doug McMaster from the zero-waste restaurant Silo. They have moved the kitchen front and centre, to the space traditionally occupied by a bar, and both food and drinks are created and served simultaneously. The team worked with flavour scientist Arielle Johnson to look at how an inventive food experience could be created without damaging the planet, and the results are masterful. The tasting menu might start with Krug Grand Cuvée with water jelly served alongside sweet and sour rhubarb and beetroot tart, and end with chocolate tart or a range of delectable cheeses. The menu changes weekly and no two experiences at Cub will be the same. Cub, 153 Hoxton Street, London N1 6PJ, +44 (0)20 3946 7060, lyancub.com
The typical idea of a private member’s club is turned on its head at the Conduit. Aimed at those interested in generating positive social change, it gathers a community of visionaries in a space conducive to action. Such blue-sky thinking needs fuel to generate the best ideas, and the Conduit’s restaurant is at the heart of its endeavours. Executive chef Leonardo Pereira, formerly of Noma, presides over the cuisine in the building, and Drew Snaith is the head chef of the fourth-floor restaurant, which is firmly committed to sustainability and also offers a guest chef programme, previously hosting Massimo Bottura of Osteria Francescana in Modena. The Conduit’s kitchens are 100% single-use plastic free, and food waste is reduced with innovative workarounds, such as transforming sourdough bread into crackers to serve with the cod’s roe dip snack (which we are still having dreams about). Members of the public signing up to an open house day at the Conduit can enjoy a meal here. The Conduit, 40 Conduit Street, London W1S 2YQ, +44 (0)20 3912 8400, theconduit.com globalblue.com

It’s often believed that Swiss-made watches and jewellery are some of the best in the world, and while surveying the items at Jahan Jewellery, it’s certainly hard to argue otherwise. Hailing from Geneva, this is a seventh-generation family company with the highest of design values. In Jahan’s London boutique you’ll find the same dedication to rare gemstones as in its Swiss flagship. SM Jahan Jewellery, 6C Sloane Street, London SW1X 9LE, +44 (0)20 3887 7753, jahan.ch

CHURCH’S With almost 150 years of history, Church’s balances an impeccable heritage with a talent for creating modern classics. One of its latest styles is the Docklow ankle boot, a sleek design that’s made for springtime strolls around London’s parks. Church’s took inspiration from British Army boots to create a style that marries modern craftsmanship with vintage-inspired materials. Available in four colours, including military green and sand, the boots boast Goodyear welting and an additional layer of rubber to make them water resistant. SM

Tucked away on a charming Mayfair passage, Rarever is a modern jeweller that takes a dynamic approach to high jewellery design. Using classic diamond shapes that have stood the test of time, but blending these with contemporary high jewellery craftsmanship, Rarever’s pieces are breathtaking. The brand takes inspiration from architecture as well as flora and fauna to create earrings, rings and necklaces that are works of art. The construction of the pieces is truly marvellous, and many of the diamonds seem to hover as if by magic, with the intricate means of creating this illusion hidden from view. If you are looking to ask someone special that most important of questions, Rarever is an excellent choice to help create a dream ring.

A fine tailored suit is something every gentleman needs in his wardrobe and for such a personal purchase it is worth investing in a brand that reflects the codes of London’s home of tailoring at Savile Row. As the name suggests, 40 Savile Row is situated at the epicentre of London’s bespoke suiting world, and though it may not be as well-known as some of the brands on the street, the family-run label has a prestigious history that dates back to 1938. Founded by Gerry Doltis, whose son is now the brand’s managing director, 40 Savile Row has highly experienced tailors who will help to fit a ready-to-wear item if you’re pressed for time, or discuss options to create a bespoke suit that’s unique to you. Chat to one of the staff to make your design come to life. SM Global Blue Retailer

ROTUNDA LOUNGE A stone’s throw from Tower Bridge, Rotunda Lounge at the Four Seasons hotel is the ideal place to enjoy an afternoon tea fit for royalty. The impressive circular space is punctuated by a central glass dome and striking columns, giving it a stately atmosphere. Relax into one of the assorted sofas and sip a glass of champagne while marvelling at three tiers of delicious finger sandwiches, scones and pastries. From classic flavour combinations with a twist, such as Scottish smoked salmon with gin-cured cucumber, to seasonal specialities, the savoury options are just the beginning. A cream tea is nothing without scones, clotted cream and jam, and if you still have room, the pastries, from chocolate crémeux tartlets to blackcurrant marmalade macarons, are the perfect way to end a delectable afternoon.

中文翻译 32: MADE IN BRITAIN 英国制造 手工艺是英国传 统的 重要 组 成部 分，多种多样 的品牌扎 根 本土，不断生 产出高质量 精 品。Sally McIlhone为您详述 从历史悠久的英国品牌选购商品，如同进行 一项 优质 投资，其回报价值是毋庸置 疑的。尽管有许 多总部位于英国的全球制造 业巨头 — —其中既 包括久经考验的老牌，也有新兴 企业— — 但 鼓 励在 本土 进行手工制作的历史和文化，使人们只 要 想买能经受住时间考验的产品，就会首选英 国。无论 您是要 寻找新的香水、服饰产品还是 手 工无可挑剔的图章戒指，都会有一个英国品牌如 您所愿。
F lor is的企业发展如童话故事一 般，遥 遥 领先于诸多品牌。“我们仍然在伦敦杰明街 （ Jer my n St reet）的老店里经营业务，1730年 这家公司就是在 这里成立的，” F lor is的第9代 所 有者、香水总监E dwa rd Boden h a m说。“我们 的所有产品都在英国生产。我们的核心价值观 就是英国制造，以及 通 过对原材料和生产方式 的掌控，来实现（对环境的）可持续性。”可持续 性是大多数品牌关注的问题，但F lor is渴望确保 它不仅是一个热门词汇。Boden h a m说：“在减 少碳足迹的同时，将盈利重 新投入我们的经济 体 非常重要。”他补充说，F lor is是英国最早的香 水公司之一，其作为该行业领导者的影响力“不 可低估”。 做为“英国制造”的品牌，F lor is亦 投资于本 土香水人才。“我们的调香师全都在杰明街的商 店与我一起 工作，并且接受了非常广泛的培训。” Boden h a m说，“我的两名顶级调香师和我共 事 的时间加在一起有17年了，因此我们精诚合作， 在建立自己核心技能的基 础上，不断发展团队。 作为英国所有企业，并植根于我们在伦敦的宝贵

传统，我们牢牢把握住了本地制造 这一优势。” 在F lor is坚 守旧时阵线的同时，令人 振奋的 年轻英国品牌也为自己赢得了名声。Rebus是一 家 相对较 新的公司，成立于1971年，主要生产手 工雕刻的图章戒指、吊坠和袖扣。企业初创时关 注公对公的手工雕刻业务，而从2 0 05年开始，总 经理E m met Sm it h将业务重点放在了雕刻珠宝 上。他说：“我在一家名叫R H Wi l k i n s的公司做 了五年 学徒。”当他完成 培训后，发现 老板想退 休，于是他买下了这家公司，然后决定 直接面向 消费者。他回忆说：“我们看到很多其他高街珠 宝商生产的图章戒指，这些戒指不是很

好 — —有点薄，歪歪扭扭。我觉得自己可以做 得 更好。” Rebus的商店位于伦敦珠宝区哈顿花园 （H at ton G a rden）的心脏地带，地 理位 置完 美，以实惠的价格 提 供个 性化的戒指。雕刻姓名 缩写的起价为10 0英镑，而维多利亚风 格冠冕徽 章的镌刻价格为32 0英镑。物品包 装在带有蜡 封 的精美礼盒中，您很难找到价格比这更合理的手 工礼物了。由Rebus工匠组 成的团队在现场出品 9 0％的总产量。Sm it h说：“我们还没开始做宝 石镶嵌。”他补充道，一名员工目前正在学习这种 手艺。“但是，哈顿花园（H a r ton G a rden）的优

点在于，我们和所有业内专家彼 此相邻，所以戒 指只需在同一条路上往 返于店家即可。” 图章戒指在历史上与英国社会上层人士联 系在一起，而 现在成为了潮流，这 给Rebus带来 了大量新客源。Sm it h说，“您不必成为世袭士 绅的一员，也不必拥有家族 徽 章— —您可以随 心所欲地创造您想要的图案。许多人不再遵 从世 袭的图案，而是在建立 属于自己的象征意义。” 客户可以带来具有个人意义、表现自我态度 的情 绪板，并与Rebus合作创建独特的设计。设 计图稿被客户认可后，大约需要八周的时间来生 产定制产品。Sm it h说：“我们可以做任 何事 情。”而且他真的可以做出任 何创意，如一只猫 抽烟斗，群 马驰 骋在银河系中，都是 颇令人 遐想 联 翩的设计。 另一个以其英国制造产品而自豪的品牌是 Hem i n g swor t h，该公司精 选 来自国外的原材 料，例如珍珠母贝纽扣和高技 术面料，为事业繁 忙的绅士裁制服 装。创始人M at t Jone s表 示：“ 当然，在制造 这个 环 节，必须选在英国，对 我们 来说 就是 伦敦。” Hem i n g swor t h将“传统的萨 维尔街（Sav i le Row）剪裁与最先进的材料和 面料设 计”相融合，创造出令人赞叹的新产品， 包括C l ipper游 泳短裤。这些服饰产品都 在 塞尔 弗里奇（S el f r id ge s）和福 南梅 森 （For t nu m＆M a son）百货有售，到2 02 0 年亦 将入驻哈罗德（H a r rod s）和芬尼克 （Fenw ick）百货。 Jone s说：“我们将一丝不苟的合身度、永不 过时的风尚、搭配多样的款 式和奢华 精美的材 料融合在一起。”C l ipper 短裤由29 块面料制 成，经 过17个手工完成的阶段，然后才从伦敦 工 厂出品。“我们已经为泳裤开发出了第一条整 体 腰带，可随着穿着者的动作而自如伸缩，并配有 法式 拉链，以使短裤前部 保 持平坦。这些功能性 细节融 入了大量研究，是我们客户在 选购时的 关键考 量。” 对于Hem i n g swor t h而言，在英国本土 生 产至关重要。“鉴于我们裁制过程 所需要的复杂 性和质量 水平，在世界上确实没有其他地方可以 生产我们的产品。作为英国品牌，非常重要的一 点是，我们支 持本土经济发展，将盈利再投资于 英国的工厂、人员和技能。前几代 人在英国制造 业中备受 追捧的声誉必须得到承认，而且传统 必须继续下去。” Rebu s的E m met Sm it h也认同这一看法。 他说：“英式风情蜚声世界，无论是萨维尔街 还 是哈顿 花园。我们以创新、时尚和艺术而闻名。 成为这个群体的一 部分真的很棒。”

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 32: MADE IN BRITAIN СДЕЛАНО В БРИТАНИИ Мастерство ручной работы – важная часть британского наследия, и английские бренды продолжают выпускать качественные товары у себя на родине, – рассказывает Салли Макилхоун. Британские бренды имеют безупречную репутацию, проверенную временем. И хотя Великобритания насчитывает немало международных корпораций, среди которых, как новички, так и лидеры индустрии, британская культура и история способствуют тому, чтобы производители налаживали выпуск товаров у себя на родине. Поэтому, если вы ищете новый аромат, костюм, пошитый на заказ или элегантный перстень с печаткой, то все это можно найти в ассортименте британских брендов. Сверху: перстень-печатка Rebus
Истории Floris могли бы позавидовать многие компании. «Наш бренд был открыт еще в 1730 году в магазинчике на Джерминстрит в Лондоне, где мы и располагаемся по сей день, – говорит Эдвард Боденхэм, директор парфюмерного дома и его владелец в девятом поколении. – Вся наша продукция производится здесь, на территории Великобритании. Для нас это имеет такое же значение, как и экологичный подход к производству и материалам, которые мы используем». В последнее время экопроизводство афишируется многими брендами, но для Floris это не просто модное словечко, а часть корпоративной философии. «Для нас важно инвестировать в экономику, снижая при этом выбросы углерода», – говорит Боденхэм, добавляя, что Floris является одним из первых парфюмерных домов Британии и его влияние на индустрию «сложно переоценить». Floris делает немалый вклад в воспитание будущих специалистов в области парфюмерии. «Наши парфюмеры работают вместе со мной

на Джермин-стрит и проходят комплексную подготовку, – говорит Боденхэм. – Два наших лучших парфюмера работают в компании уже 17 лет. Мы вместе приобрели колоссальный опыт и не перестаем развиваться как команда. Британское наследие и ателье в Лондоне позволило нам наладить тесные связи со многими местными производителями». Floris принадлежит к числу британских легенд, но Туманный Альбион может похвастаться и рядом относительно молодых, но не менее популярных брендов. Компания Rebus, основанная в 1971 году, выпускает
кольца с печатками, подвески и запонки с ручной гравировкой. Директор Эммет Смит решил сделать акцент на украшениях с гравировкой в 2005 году. «Пять лет подряд я проходил обучение в компании R H Wilkins, которая выполняла гравировку для ювелирных салонов», – говорит он. Когда обучение подошло к концу Смит узнает о том, что его начальник уходит на пенсию и принимает решение приобрести его бизнес, предложив услуги покупателям напрямую. «Нам приходилось работать с кольцами от самых разных ювелирных салонов и все они казались.

In 1999, British designer Clive Christian purchased the Crown Perfumery, a scent maker founded in 1872 and granted use of the royal crown insignia by Queen Victoria. Christian modernised the historic fragrances and launched his eponymous line, ensuring the sense of royal history was kept right at the heart. The brand’s Original Collection fragrances are now considered to be some of the most luxurious in the world.
