BEST GIFTS FOR A PROSPEROUS CHINESE NEW YEAR
Last minuate shopping! In celebration of the Year of the Ram in the Chinese Zodiac calendar, Town House, the city’s renowned leading purveyors of luxury gifts and lifestyle accessories, is presenting a series of stylish gifts inspired by the celebrated ram.
Known to be artistic and lovers of beauty and aesthetic pleasures, those born in the lunar year of the Ram also exhibit virtues of compassion, generosity and are notorious for being tolerant under intense pressure while remaining stable, hence touted as the best team players in the work environment. In tribute to these characteristics, Town House offers the perfect gift for those born in the Year of the Ram, and for loved ones and business partners to usher in good fortune at this auspicious time!
Town House commissioned Duccio di Segna to produce the next series of crystal ram figurines, exclusive to only Town House Landmark Prince’s store. The exquisite crystal pieces are shaped using techniques from 14th century Tuscany, most notably the town Colle Val d’Elsa. The local tradition has born and bred generations of glass blowers and engravers, with evolving techniques perfecting the traditional spirit. With technical superiority of using the purest 24% lead crystal treated at 1220° C, and 24-carat pure gold, the creator’s beauty lies at the intersection of art and science. The 19cm Ram Bust retails at HK$4,500.
For those whisky aficionados in our group of friends or business associates, the perfect coveted gift this season is the Whisky Decanter set that comes with two tumbler glasses. Using the perfect blend of aesthetics and functionality, the Bohemia crystal and cut pattern is an opulent, highly refractive crystal set worthy of the finest tipple. With its Czech roots born in the Renaissance period, an era filled with unrestrained hedonism, the whisky decanter gift set comes emblazoned with an artistic interpretation of the Chinese character of the auspicious Ram and will be available in February 2015 for HK$1,080.

Bespoke Experience! Personalised Bags and Accessories tailor-made to a client’s unique specifications by Timothy Oulton
Passionately committed to handcrafting daring yet authentic experiences with character and soul, Timothy Oulton introduces its exclusive Bespoke experience. A selection of the brand’s most classic bags can be tailor-made to a client’s unique specifications, for a bag as individual as they are. The Bespoke experience is now available at Timothy Oulton’s magical Hong Kong Gough Street gallery.
The word bespoke literally means "made to a client’s specifications", or more precisely "as spoken by the client". To order something bespoke is both an expression of self-confidence and an indication that you have a personal connection with the maker of the pieces you seek. Tim Oulton explains: “It’s about creating something extraordinary together. Your bag will almost become a part of you when you wear it, because it’s a reflection of who you are.“
Each bag can be customized with Timothy Oulton’s famous leathers, sourced from Argentina and Brazil, which all carry the unique feel of quality hand-finished aniline leather. Colours and finishes are inspired by Tim's personal collection of authentic vintage pieces, including Bikers jackets and old leather suitcases.
Linings can be personalized from the plain to the quirky. The hand-stitched Union Jack is a nod to the brand’s British heritage while Oxford Stripes is inspired by the colourful borders in English country gardens. The classic Dicky Ticking design was traditionally used in 19th century English suitcases while the 1908 Tug of War Team lining was built up from an original old photograph. All of the patterns tell their own story.
Different gauges of stitching change the personality of a piece; heavier gauge stitching lends a more rugged feel, while finer gauges exude quality and polish. Those subtle details like the zipper fabric and the hardware are all little pieces of character that come together to create that individual piece. The personalized monogram is the final touch that gives the bag your unique stamp and -one else.
The dedicated Bespoke area at Gough Street gallery is a magical place designed to inspire and awaken creativity. Choose from the rows of coloured yarns that fill the shelves, touch the fabrics between your fingers and breathe in the smell of vintage leathers. Sewing machines sit ready for action and drawers open to reveal haberdashery and the brand is committed to keeping this time-honoured craft alive in the most authentic way possible.
Craftsmanship Ambassador | Bryan Cheng.
To offer clients a more premium level of service, Timothy Oulton has appointed a dedicated Craftsmanship Ambassador; Bryan Cheng, who personally looks after each Bespoke request. Clients are invited to the gallery to sit down with Bryan and discuss their individual needs in depth. Working closely with Timothy Oulton’s master craftsmen, Bryan is fully conversant with the intricate process of making a bag from scratch. He is able to offer clients expert advice and discuss different options to ensure they are 100% happy with their chosen preferences.
Timothy Oulton is proud to share a personal connection with its customers, a like-minded passion for embracing life’s adventures and living authentically. The Bespoke experience is about making this connection deeper and embarking on a journey together. It is about refusing to compromise in life and celebrating the confidence to stand up and be yourself.

Youthful fun and Playfulness - Jack Wills S/S 2015
Jack Wills Hong Kong brought us a wonderful night with their Spring 2015 debut collection, created by a new Creative Director Richard Nicoll. The event was really fruitful with a lot of activities going on, catwalk show with their new collections, tote bag creative corner with iron-on badges, portrait painted by fashion illustrator-Tanya and a lot of canapés and drinks were floating around with the live music.
For the Spring womenswear collection, Richard studied British Youth sub cultural periods from the 1960’s Youth Quake, through to 90’s Brit pop. “I wanted to bring the colour and energy from both periods together and inject the Jack Wills hero products such as the gilet, the rugby tops, the cable crews and equestrian tailoring, with a sense of youthful fun and playfulness,” he says.
For the menswear collection, He was using the elements of Hockney, Bridget Riley and Op Art paintings. He also listened to a lot of Blur, The Happy Mondays and the Beatles for his inspiration creativity. “I wanted to bring the colour and energy from both periods together and inject the Jack Wills hero products, such as the gilet, the rugby tops, the cable crews and equestrian tailoring, with a sense of youthful fun and playfulness,” he says.
The result is an irreverent, optimistic and uniquely British collection, packed full of energy and graphic colour pops. Hiking references abound in the colour blocked anoraks, while more technical details transform the classic ‘heritage’ pieces, resulting in a thoroughly modern and smart collection.
