A Father’s Day Gift Guide

As the emblematic derby of the Maison, the Arca comes straight out of my family portrait. Pure in its lines, the Arca was named after my grandfather’s sailing boat. Under the aegis of this wise man, I used to spend magical evenings aboard the Arca where, with his head in the stars, I learnt to find my way around thanks to them.

I’ve decided that after all, I need my well-deserved rest and that’s when I fell upon Pinch and the Brody Low Back Armchair which was sitting at their window.

As I often like to travel light meeting my exclusive customers for a bespoke fitting, I couldn’t have chosen better than my Porter Yoshida 3 way briefcase from Pantechicon, made 100% in Japan and first launched in 1983, a lovely reminder of my early years in the art of shoemaking. This wonderful briefcase carries a lot and always manages to maintain its shape and its timeless appeal thanks to its durable nylon.
