The Country & Town House Responsible Buyers’ Guide
Bamford
Snowdrop Linen Wrap, £225
Bamford’s new SS25 collection of flowing linen separates, sleeveless cotton dresses and draping wraps is the bees-knees. Inspired by the planet’s nifty pollinators, each piece has been crafted using only natural fibres in a pretty palette of hazel, sky blue and new neutral, buttery yellow. ‘We hope to remind wearers of the beauty of the earth’s resources,’ says nature-loving founder Carole Bamford.
OSHADI
Resh Smocked Dress, £216
This cute summer smocked dress has a compelling backstory. Crafted in regenerative cotton grown on Oshadi’s own chemical- free farm in India, it’s part of a pioneering seed-to-sew initiative rooted in ancient agricultural practices.
Dora Larsen
Rosamund Lace Underwire Bra, £68
Dora Larsen’s Rosamund bra is crafted from recycled lace, tulle, and trims, the bone is made from 100 percent recycled post-consumer polypropylene and the thread is recycled post-consumer polyester, reflecting the brand’s commitment to responsibly produced, luxury materials.
Mylee
The Prep & Peel Kit, £34
Looking for a quick manicure fix? Then this could be the thing for you. Dubbed ‘the easiest and gentlest mani in the world’, Mylee’s new line of Wraps can be applied in just minutes (and don’t need curing to settle into place). Simply prep, stick and trim – and your good to go. Mylee has a colourful range of Wraps to choose from, spanning block colours, nail art and textural effects, with all lasting up to 14 days after application.
Penelope Chilvers
Jolene Suede Cowboy Boot, £349
Not only is festival season almost here, but the cowboy boot reigns supreme for another year, and we’ve found the perfect pair. Penelope Chilvers’ Jolene (read it without singing it, we challenge you) Boot is a snazzy coral and russet suede head-turning boot of dreams. We love them.
Terry De Havilland
Mia Clutch, £225
Nothing completes an outfit quite like a pair of statement Terry De Havilland heels. Nothing, that is, apart from the brand new Mia clutch, a stand-out addition to the accessory brand’s signature line-up. Taking inspiration from the Zia lightning bolt and available in a range of eye-catching metallic hues, from the Chelsea Flower Show to wedding season, we’ll be using ours to secure a spot on the best-dressed list this summer.
Miu Miu
Wander Matelassé Suede Bag, £2,150
Who better to immortalise Miu Miu’s signature matelassé than long-time brand aficionado and cultural icon, Gigi Hadid? In a nod to high society 20th-century portraiture, she poses for photographer Steven Meisel with the new suede iterations – the Wander and Arcadie handbags. We’re getting Grace Kelly vibes…
Paula’s Choice
2% BHA Body Spray, £24
Noticed flashes of pimples popping up on your back? Or maybe you have one stubborn spot that you can’t seem to shift? It could be back acne, or ‘bacne’. You can find out all you need to know about bacne (and how to treat it) in our guide here – but in the meantime, stock up on your BHA, salicylic acid and niacinamide. Our top pick is this body spray from Paula’s Choice, which helps exfoliate inside the pores to prevent blockages and, in the long rub, bacne.
Highgrove x Burberry
Highgrove Cascading Flowers Silk Pyjama Shirt, £1,190
Burberry is celebrating the arrival of spring – as well as its royal ties – with a brand new collection created in collaboration with Highgrove Gardens. Surrounding the private residence of King Charles III and Queen Camilla, Highgrove is well-known for its lush flora, which served as the perfect inspiration for the capsule. Spanning menswear, womenswear and accessories, the 28-piece capsule collection plays on the natural wonders found in the kitchen garden at Highgrove, with an earthy colour palette flecked with pops of colour, as well as a series of prints designed by homegrown artist artist and fashion illustrator Helen Bullock. Find out more about the collection here.
Skye McAlpine Tavola x Loquet London
The Lemon Charm, £450
When life give you lemons – turn them into jewellery. At least, that’s the memo we’re getting from Loquet London’s latest collaboration with chef and author Skye McAlpine Tavola. The limited edition lemon charm is the perfect summery staple. Drawing inspiration from her Tavola tableware line and famed Venetian lemon recipes, it is crafted from 18k yellow gold lemon and cabochon quartzite jade, with a zingy tsavorite leaf for good measure. Part of Loquet’s Charms for Change initiative, a percentage of sales from the lemon charm will be donated Chefs in Schools, a charity working to improve food and food education in schools all over the UK.
Lalage Beaumont
Chelsea Garden Banderole Silk Ribbon Scarf, £95
With May well underway, it’s only a matter of day until we welcome the arrival of Chelsea Flower Show and Chelsea in Bloom – and you can celebrate the occasion with Lalage Beaumont’s limited-edition silk banderole. The perfect finishing touch for your spring/summer wardrobe, the Chelsea Garden scarf has been designed, printed and produced in England, and features a bespoke design depicting British flora and fauna. Think robins, butterflies and oak leaves. Tie it around your handbag handle, in your hair, around your wrist or even styled as a belt.
Dr Jart
Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturising Cream, £15
Is your skin feeling tight, red, sore or flaky? You might have damaged your skin barrier. But not to fear, it’s still possible to revive your outer shell – just make sure you have something like this in your skincare arsenal. Dr Jart’s cream comes packed with ceramides, panthenol and glycerin that help moisturise, strengthen and soften the skin (and revive its barrier).
Celia B x East London Parasol Co.
Corsica Round Bamboo Parasol, £450
Add some sophistication to your summer soirees with this limited-edition collection created by East London Parasol Co. in collaboration with fashion label Celia B. La Isla Bonita is comprised of six handcrafted garden parasols, featuring dreamy, dopamine-inducing designs that celebrate craftsmanship, colour and creative flair. The perfect addition to garden parties and sunny afternoons.
ESPA
Skin Stimulating Body Brush, £21
There are plenty of micro-routines and good habits to pick up when it comes to health and beauty, and dry brushing is one of them. Using a body brush regularly can help stimulate the lymphatic system, exfoliate the skin and boost circulation – making it a great addition to your routine. But where to find the right brush? We recommend ESPA’s Skin Stimulating Body Brush, which has been crafted with natural bristles from Mexican cactus plants to deliver those all-important wellness benefits. For more tips on body brushing, see our guide here.
Cerruti 1881
VIVO 100ml, £86
Cerruti 18801’s first major chart in three decades is VIVO, a brand new, disruptive fragrance housed in one of the most intriguing perfume bottles we’ve seen in a long time. This masculine fragrance is defined by top notes of apple, ginger, cardamom and pink pepper, followed by rum, tagete and sesame, while the base wraps up the scent profile with woody vertiver and warm saffron. This is all housed in an interactive bottle; you’ll need to break the code (1881, naturally) in order to spritz to their heart’s content.
belif
The Aqua Bomb Range, from £22
K-beauty brand belif made its UK debut earlier this month, with the arrival of its (hotly anticipated) Aqua Bomb range in online retailers. The line, which consists of an eye gel, toner, jelly cleanser, sleeping mask, cream and makeup removing cleansing balm, is infused with ultra-hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide to leave skin feeling smoother, brighter, plumper and more hydrated than ever.
Chantecaille
Future Skin Cushion Foundation, £132
Have you spotted TikTok’s cushion foundation obsession? This K-beauty trend isn’t going anywhere anytime soon – and with the flawless results it promises, we can see why. Our pick is Chantecaille’s water-based foundation, which blurs imperfections for an airbrushed finish and uses a network of botanical sugars to smooth and protect the skin from environmental aggressors. A formula of bionymph peptides, meanwhile, helps plumps the skin and leave it feeling even smoother in the long run.
Cygnet Gin
Cygnet 77, £130
The sun’s shining, the birds are singing and a bank holiday is brewing. It’s officially time to crack out the gin – and where better to start than Cygnet’s latest creation, Cygnet 77? Distilled and aged at the Copperworks Distillery in Wales, this refined blend of Cygnet Gin, Manuka honey and whisky cask influence creates an ultra decadent tipple. And with layers of juniper, chamomile and honey, as well as floral and woodsy notes, Cygnet 77 is bound to intrigue connoisseurs and casual enthusiasts alike. And how best to drink it? Cygnet 77 is designed to be enjoyed in its purest form, served neat over ice – elevating the classic martini.
