SPRING 2015
Just the good stuff
CLEAN LIVING It’s all about Spring Cleaning. Common Good, new to us, new to the UK and fresh from Brooklyn NY, make green and beautiful household cleaners that you’ll want to get out of the cupboard. And pet and child friendly too, although we wouldn’t recommend they eat too much of it. And we’ve gone to the Germans for efficiency in the brush and scrubber department.
RITES OF SPRING Womenswear is blooming. Literally. All manner of pots of cosmos and all manner of fashion beauty. And it’s about simple, easy dressing: 80s sports luxe from Mads Norgaard, a little Francophile boho from Leon and Harper, prettiness from Des Petits Hauts and classic basics from American Vintage and Marie Sixtine. Nothing difficult. Nothing not to love.
CHET BAKER He’s our menswear muse this season. 1950s Americana but this is West Coast Jazz cool, not Happy Days. Have a look at our moodboard (thehambledon. com/news).
MERI MERI We’re hooking up with our party and stationery favourites Meri Meri and organising some crafty workshops in Winchester and Cowley. Fancy making balloon tassel tails? This way please. See the website thehambledon.com for more details.
ELEGANT BAKER The restaurant at Cowley Manor is getting a major makeover and we’re celebrating with a big old foodie focus at The Hambledon at Cowley Manor. Check out our Pinterest board for the inspiration (pinterest. com/thehambledon/elegant-baker). Check out the shop for recipe books and cookware. Check out the website to buy online.
EMILY QUINTON Star Instagrammer, stylist and all round good egg, we are delighted to welcome Emily to the world of The Hambledon. She has a brand new book out and she’s going to be in store (30 April in Winchester and 1 May at Cowley) for book signing and teaching us how to make a lovely Instagram. Ring 01962 890055 or email shop@thehambledon.com to book your space.
PROJECT SPACE Get set for Emily Quinton. Come and shoot your pick of Hambledon props in the Project Space. Share your photos #ourhambledon.
HOW WE’RE LOOKING We just can’t seem to give up the fake botanicals. The counter gets a horticultural makeover with little pots of plants we can’t quite identify.
COMPETITION We’re giving away a £50 Hambledon voucher to a lucky new recruit. Sign up for Hambledon News on the website and it could be yours!
