Since Frank Smythson opened his Bond Street boutique in 1887 with a promise of "stationery and fancy articles of a high-class character", Smythson has been the stationer of choice for the quietly extraordinary. Equally celebrated for its luxury leather goods as for its signature Panama diaries with their iconic Nile-blue pages, the brand has spent over 135 years making the everyday feel exceptional, with their commitment to British craftsmanship, heritage, and timeless wit remaining wholly intact.

Nine routes for the few weeks when the trees do all the work. Bring a flask.
Autumn is the season the UK was built for. The light drops low and stays gold for hours. The crowds thin out. The paths are soft underfoot and the pubs have lit their fires.
The window is short. Colour usually peaks from mid-October into early November, a little earlier in Scotland and the north, a little later in the south-west. A single windy night can strip a hillside. So go when you can, not when it suits.
These are walks we keep returning to. Most are under three hours. All of them end somewhere warm.

Best Autumn Walks in the UK

Copenhagen runs on bikes, butter and natural wine, and it’s small enough to manage all three before lunch. Swim in the harbour, queue for a cardamom bun, spend Saturday morning at the Frederiksberg flea market, then eat dinner in the old meatpacking district. These are the places we’d make time for.

A desk is the only surface in the house that nobody furnishes on purpose. Everything on it arrived for a reason and none of the reasons were aesthetic: the pen came free, the mug is from a conference, the paper is held down by whatever was nearest. Which is a shame, because it's where a lot of us now spend the hours we used to spend elsewhere. The ten brands here make the things that end up within arm's reach for years: mouth-blown glass paperweights, hand-built trays for the stuff that has nowhere else to go, a diary invented in 1908 to fit inside a breast pocket. None of it will make you work faster. That isn't the job.

10 Deskware Brands to Know

September arrives and something in us wants a clean page. Not a resolution, exactly - more the low-grade satisfaction of a fresh notebook and a pen that works. The desk gets cleared. The old diary, three months untouched, goes in the drawer. Our collection with Papier is built for this particular itch: notebooks and notecards that look good enough to leave out on the table and are sturdy enough to actually get used. Start with the notebook. The rest tends to follow.

Our Co-Founder and Creative Director Laura Jackson rediscovers forgotten Mallorcan treasures.
"Four summer days in Mallorca. We found ourselves there to celebrate a family wedding and in the days following, we set out to find some glittering coves and secret swimming spots, local lunch spots and beautiful ceramics to take home. The south east corner is a part of Mallorca I haven't visited since I was young and I felt all the excitement of rediscovering forgotten treasures and well kept secrets." Laura

I get asked this one a lot, usually with a slight edge of suspicion. How do you find these places? As though there's a list somewhere and I'm sitting on it.
There isn't a list. What there is, I think, is a habit - one I've been doing for so long that I'd genuinely stopped noticing I was doing it. It's less a method and more a low hum in the background of everything else. Writing it down has been quite revealing, actually.
So. Here it is.

Mint has a habit of looking unfinished; silver is what finishes it. On its own, mint can feel undecided, hovering somewhere between pastel and green. Silver gives it something to play against. 
One comes from the garden, the other from the workshop, but side by side they lose that distance fast. Mint softens the shine, silver sharpens the green, and suddenly both colours make more sense together than they ever did apart.

Mint & Silver

Summer 2026 is set to be a rollicking one for music, and album covers have been nothing to turn our noses up at either. From Charli xcx to Kelela and Madonna, we’re assured months of sound that is sonically riotous. But what would décor look like if left to the devices of the albums set to soundtrack the scorching weather? From vivid pastels to minimalist backdrops and landscapes with gritty edges, here’s décor fueled by this summer’s most anticipated releases – and the albums already setting the tone for the months ahead.

Britain is not, on paper, an obvious beach destination. The water is cold, the weather is unpredictable, and yet - on the right day, at the right tide - there are stretches of coastline here that rival anywhere in the world. Powder-white sand backed by machair grassland in the Outer Hebrides. Vast, empty dune systems in Norfolk that make you feel genuinely alone. Dramatic sea stacks off the Antrim coast, turquoise coves in Cornwall that look lifted from somewhere considerably further south. The secret, of course, is knowing where to go, and being prepared to get a little windswept getting there.

Eurovision is the one night a year when maximum effort is not only acceptable but essentially mandatory, so your party should match the energy. Start with a ballot sheet for every guest, and a snack spread loosely themed around the competing countries. Dress code is sequins or go home. Have a signature cocktail, pick your favourites before the voting opens, and prepare to be completely wrong about who wins. Chaotic, communal, and completely unmissable - exactly as intended.

Pinterest's 2026 wedding trends guide is here. In 2026, weddings are feeling less traditional and far more personal. Couples are moving away from polished perfection in favour of atmosphere, individuality and spaces that feel layered with character. Think candlelit pubs over formal venues, sculptural cakes, undone florals, analogue entertainment and tablescapes that borrow from intimate dinner parties rather than classic receptions. The modern wedding is becoming an exercise in world-building: expressive, cinematic and deeply reflective of personal taste, where every detail, from glassware to styling, feels curated rather than conventional.

From the sun-drenched hills of Tuscany to the whitewashed shores of Mílos, Europe’s most beautiful summer stays promise slow mornings, long lunches and unforgettable views. Check into Il Palazzotto or Casa Newton for romantic Italian charm, or escape to Hotel Mediterraneo on Kastellorizo for turquoise waters and laid-back glamour. In Portugal, Muxima in Aljezur offers barefoot luxury, while La Colombe d’Or in St Paul-de-Vence remains an icon for art lovers. Marseille’s Tuba Club, Nice’s Hotel du Couvent and Mallorca’s Hotel Corazón capture the effortless elegance of a Mediterranean summer escape.

Saturday nights look a little different at Glassette HQ lately. The group chats still exist, the wine still gets opened - but somewhere along the way, a board got laid out, and nobody really wanted to leave. Games night, it turns out, is the social ritual that actually delivers: present, competitive, and significantly cheaper than another round.
This edit pulls together the ones worth owning - beautiful enough to display, good enough to play.

Fruit is having a design moment, and at Salone, it's been impossible to ignore. From Laila Gohar’s surreal fruit carousel to Chloé’s tomato-shaped seating, it showed up oversized, playful, and unexpectedly refined. Less decoration, more statement: a shift towards interiors that feel abundant, expressive, and slightly theatrical.
This edit leans into that energy, pulling together pieces that echo fruit through colour, form, and texture. A little surreal, a little joyful, and very much of the moment.

Because if you’re going to finally sort your life out (subscriptions, savings, that one email you’ve been avoiding since October) you may as well do it properly. Think candles, good food, a table full of friends, and just enough peer pressure to actually press “cancel subscription”. Here's how to host one.

Gifting is one of those things everyone wants to do well and almost no one has time to think about properly. The Glassette Gift List is here to do the thinking for you - one considered edit a month, built around the moments that actually matter.
No endless scrolling. No panic buying. Just the right things, for the right people, at the right time.

There is a particular kind of swimming that has nothing to do with lanes, lap counters, or chlorine. It happens at the edge of things - where land meets ocean, where rock has been shaped by tide and time, where the water is cold and alive and connected to something much larger than a pool. It happens in places that were carved by volcanoes, built by hand during the Depression, or simply discovered one afternoon at the end of a rocky path.
They exist on almost every coastline in the world, and no two are alike. Some are grand civic monuments, art deco curves cut against a crashing surf. Some are nothing more than a hollow in the lava, filled twice a day by the Atlantic. Some are free, some are heritage listed, some require a scramble down a cliff to reach. What they share is harder to define - a quality of place, of wildness held just barely in check, of swimming that feels like it actually means something.
This is a celebration of the best of them. From the sun-bleached rock pools of Australia to the volcanic coastlines of Iceland and Madeira, from the lidos of Cornwall to a hidden lagoon on a Greek island most people haven't heard of - these are the pools worth travelling for. Bring a towel. The water's cold. Get in anyway!

Best of Valentine's Gifts

There’s something about the start of a new year that makes everything feel possible - a blank page and a gentle reset. I’m not one for dramatic reinvention, but I am big on getting organised early, so the year doesn’t run away with me. Every January, I print out my weekly planning sheets, map out the months ahead, and pin up my A0 calendar so that 2026 feels visible, and therefore manageable. This year, I’m adding a misogi into my planning to get the most out of my year - one big, slightly daunting goal that sits outside the day-to-day and makes the year feel directional. I’m also pencilling in mini breaks early, so there’s rest built in before everything fills up. Here’s what I’m using to plan 2026!
