Sophia Salaman chooses the best

luxury merchandise worldwide

$ For more than 40 years Stefano Ricci the Italian tailor dubbed the

‘king of ties’ has made stylish and luxurious outfits for men. His new

homeware range the ‘Royal Suite’ collection is unsurprisingly every

bit as covetable as his clothes boasting cashmere blankets embroi-

dered tablecloths sheets made from linen and silk hand-engraved

crystal glasses and sterling-silver cutlery plated with 24ct gold. Ring

$ The promise of sunkissed days in exotic climes is written all over Bottega

Veneta’s 2015/2016 women’s cruise collection. Jackets are tailored and

matched with high-waisted trousers and cropped cardigans or sweaters

while materials are casual and comfortingly soft: suede double-faced

cashmere woollens cottons and silks all make an appearance. Bottega

Veneta 33 Sloane St London SW1 (020 7838 9394; bottegaveneta.com).

$ In time for Christmas this year the Italian fashion house Marni has

collaborated with the charity Associazione Vimala to create a collec-

tion of limited-edition baskets on sale 4-11 December. Available

in a variety of eye-catching colours each one is traditionally hand-

woven by artisans in Colombia. Proceeds will go towards helping

the foundation with its work: restoring and maintaining schools

for ill abandoned or severely disabled Indian and Tibetan children.

$ Though its roots lie in the manufacture of alpine sleeping bags and

workmen’s coats Moncler is better known for its stylish desirable – and

luxuriously cosy – quilted down jackets. For its autumn/

winter 2015 collection the French/Italian brand

has updated its classic parka combining jacquard

and macramé with botanical and animal

prints in subtle tones of beige grey and

taupe while Moncler’s recognisable fur

trimmings come in soft fox Mongolian

and Persian lamb’swool beaver and

mink. Moncler 197 Sloane St London
