Luxury London Advent Calendar Day 2: Purdey

Purdey, the gunmaker founded in 1814, holds three Royal Warrants from The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh and The Prince of Wales. Known for manufacturing some of the world’s most treasured hunting shotguns and rifles, the British marque also produces some exquisite accessories for those who are faced with the elements.

For the man who has everything, it’s the necessities that make a difference. Storage solutions don’t come more sophisticated than Purdey’s natural vegetable tanned leather washbag and Alcantara-lined watch roll, each of which is beautifully crafted and useful to boot.

Protect your timepiece during transit with a multi-functional travel roll. The leather lid unclips to reveal a watch space and slots to carry cufflinks or rings. The internal roll lifts out and the side pops off to reveal a hidden compartment, perfect for storing secret items – James Bond, take note. We’re big proponents of buying items to last a lifetime, and Purdey’s washbag is something to cherish for years to come.

Throughout December, customers can also enjoy complimentary monogramming on all purchases made at the Purdey boutique on South Audley Street in Mayfair.
