From past to present
The Joséphine Aigrette collection is the choice for Chaumet Ambassador Song Hye-kyo as she showcases some of the new dazzling pieces. The jewellery pieces can be worn solo or combined with other creations as shown in the campaign images where Song wore beautiful Joséphine Aigrette earrings, pendant,s and a duo of Joséphine Aigrette rings, set with Akoya cultured pearls and brilliant-cut diamonds. The Joséphine Duo Éternel earrings and pendant feature a contemporary interpretation of the toi-et-moi, a maison signature and style of engagement ring given by Napoléon to his wife Empress Joséphine.
In the spirit of giving
With more allowed to dine in, party invitations will be plenty. Here is an idea for a host gift, The Reach by The Macallan, a single malt whisky. Crafted during the Second World War, The Reach was laid to rest in 1940 before The Macallan was compelled to close its doors for the first time in its history. A rare single malt at 81 years’ old, The Reach is the oldest whisky ever released by The Macallan, crafted from a single, sherry seasoned oak cask. The dark, precious whisky is encased in an exquisite decanter created from mouth-blown, hot glass, cradled on a bronze sculpture of three hands. Each with a meaningful story to tell. One commemorates the Distillery workers of 1940 who crafted the spirit into existence, the other is the hand of one-time chairman, Allan Shiach, whose grandfather headed the company when this remarkable spirit was first consigned to its cask. The third is that of today’s Master Whisky Maker, Kirsteen Campbell, who carefully selected the 1940 cask used to create The Reach, deciding that now was the time to share this precious whisky with the world.

Each bag will be totally unique and individually numbered original artwork to carry around every day!
