Larsson & Jennings, the London-based watch label, combines Swedish design with Swiss precision. The in-house design team partners with Swiss manufactures to ensure quality with each watched. The leather is sourced locally from Anglo-Swedish tanneries, and combined with hand-finished metals for premium detailing. Currently, Larsson & Jennings is stocked in over 100 luxury retailers around the world, and this summer, Larsson & Jennings opened its first American flagship store at 355 Bleecker Street in New York’s West Village.

Larsson & Jennings’s West Village location features 470-square-feet of retail space, and carries the label’s complete collection. The brand tapped the London-based design consultancy Studio Mills to design the interiors. The designers looked towards both  the charming neighborhood’s cultural history, along with its architectural legacy. White terracotta, the same material of the exterior of the nearby Our Lady of Pompeii Church, is used in the glazed white bricks located at the rear of the store. The studio juxtaposed polished concrete against white stucco walls to further use the materials that are prevalent in the West Village. The German brand e15 provided the feature lighting and furniture, including the iconic Jean stool, as well as the North pendant and floor light, as well as the suspended Span lighting. Customers are invited to take a seat on the Douglas fir chairs spread throughout.

At the back of the store is an interactive area where customers are encouraged to get to know the brand better. Discover LJX, Larsson & Jennings’s bespoke personalization service, as well as a fika bar, where visitors can partake in one of Sweden’s most popular rituals — enjoying a cup of coffee prepared by the barista-trained Larsson & Jennings staff. A projector shows off the brand’s latest campaigns so that customers will be immersed in every aspect of the brand.

“Opening a physical touchpoint in the U.S. to follow our existing London flagship is an exciting step for us, as we launched just four years ago as an ecommerce-only business,” says Larsson & Jennings CEO, Andrew Jennings. “Expanding into the U.S. has always been an ambition of ours and we’re excited to literally put ourselves on the map with our Bleecker Street store.”

There are few better ways to flash your commitment to style and comfort than with a handcrafted, velvet slipper. Now Del Toro, a luxury footwear brand inspired by the rich heritage and timeless character of the "pantofole," is offering a distinct nod to its elegant sporting kin, tennis.

Sunday Swagger adds some personality to your holidays
Add color and patterns to your Christmas polo
Sunday Swagger Jingle Juice

We talk a lot about style here. It is what we do. We want you to look your best so you can feel your best. We want you to wake up every morning excited about getting dressed and tackling all the world has to throw at you. We also want you to have fun. Life isn't worth living if you can't have fun with who you are and what you wear. Sometimes, our conversations about style can start to feel a little stuffy. We can focus too much on timeless classics that never go out of style. We can focus on those colors that are trending every single season. Sometimes, we forget to remind you to have fun and display your personality. The Sunday Swagger Holiday Collection reminded us this year to loosen up and approach this holiday season with something a little more unique. Something that we can embrace that isn't based on fashion or style. Us.
Ditch the boring and embrace the daring

Sunday Swagger's Holiday Collection is more of what we have come to expect from Mark Carmona. Since he founded his brand in 2019, he has provided men with clothing that combines style, comfort, and durability while allowing them to showcase their personalities. The brand excels at developing unique patterns in bright colors that break the mold of the typical everyday golf polo. This year, they did it again for the holiday season to allow you to be the talk of the party. Who knows, if you wear the Jingle Juice polo, it may remind people to keep your cup filled. You're welcome.

Stellar Equipment redefines the mid-layer for the ski season
Wear this for the perfect mid-layer or on its own
Stellar Equipment hooded jacket on man

Some people think that when the seasons change and the days get shorter, that adventure will need to wait until the spring. Then others don't allow the change of the weather, the falling of the snow, or the shorter hours to stop them from adventure. Still, there are some who thrive in the latter environment -- at home in the cold and dark winters on the mountain. Whichever camp you fall into, there is a need for you to grab the best possible gear for the moment. That is where the Stellar Equipment Free Padded Concept capsule collection comes into play. While they are no secret to preparing you for the mountain excursion, they may have just revolutionized the industry and changed the mid-layer forever.
Good for a mid-layer or a standalone

The Swedish brand Stellar Equipment is one of the top places to go when it comes to wanting to get into the woods or on the mountain. Whether you are free riding or ski-touring through uncharted paths of snow, you will need to protect yourself, and they are a top-of-the-line technical layering system that does the job. You may be familiar with their alpine best-seller, the Steller Shell System. But this new concept takes Japanese craftsmanship and weaves an insulation layer into its stitching, making this the perfect layering option to keep you on the trail. The best part about it isn't that it is good for the new mid-layer but also perfect for your Apres Ski celebrations or your run into town for coffee.
