Thousands of miles in northern Kenya racked up with Jane in the Land Cruiser. Stories repeated endlessly but that's ok because there is always a fresh perspective, constant strategizing about Thorn Tree Project & stunned by the beauty of the landscape and it's people. Always wearing my trusty "Edward G" adding nature's trim to it as I find it along the way... feathers, bones, berries. photo by Ali Nagle

Perfect for Polo: the "Zig Zag" is a cloche that recalls Chanel at the Polo grounds watching her lover Boy Capel play a chukka or two. Perfect for travel she flattens into your valise and is available in 22 colours.

Love the new window: two worlds Soho & Kenya. Can you spot the phantom hat wearer?
