Crafted Goods and Heritage Brands

The makers in the Store were found the way the hotels were: by following the work back to the people doing it. Here are hats blocked by hand in Vienna and Hägglingen, leather cut in Walsall, alpaca duvets quilted in Krosno and limewash mixed in a pair of eighteenth-century barns in Saxony, alongside a Belgian watch without hands, a Danish chair of 1949 and a candle from a Tuscan estate.

Small runs, natural materials and names with a history. Each page tells the story of one piece and links straight to the maker's own shop.
