Hermès silk tie

Bobby Breward, the director of the Hermès store in Cannes, designed the first Hermès silk tie in 1949 after a casino insisted that all men must wear a tie upon entry. The five-fold silk staple has since become signature to the maison, woven at the Hermès atelier in Lyon. Each tie takes one year in total to make and has only a six-month cycle, making it an instant collector’s item.

Louis Vuitton Météore cologne

The newest addition to Louis Vuitton’s luxurious fragrance family is Météore, an evocative, reach-for-the-stars concoction by maître-parfumeur Jacques Cavallier Belletrud – a third-generation ‘nose’ who has created no less than 18 scents for the French house since it relaunched its fragrance collection in 2016. Sparkling Sicilian mandarin is balanced by woody vetiver and a trio of spices – pepper, cardamom and nutmeg – for an elegant and sensual winter fragrance, which looks particularly handsome on one’s dresser.

Made in the UK from robust dark brown suede, the timeless style has a sturdy Dainite rubber sole – as worn by none other than James Bond in the forthcoming film No Time To Die, for which Crockett & Jones is an official partner.
