Recently Handpicked have come across stand up comedian Hannibal Buress. He has hit the US by storm and we’re sure that he’ll be over here in no time. His very casual delivery makes the whole show very relaxed whilst his ability to see ridiculous situations in everyday life reminds us a little of Michael Macintyre. [...]

After a week or so of serious camping at Latitude and Secret Garden Festivals, Handpicked have been researching the most weird and wonderful campsites. We heard of La Rosa Campsite in Yorkshire a while ago and love the idea. The beautiful caravans are ready to rent fully kitted (and kitsched) out with details to make [...]

Handpicked Collection had dutiful representation at Secret Garden Party in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire this weekend. After having spent three nights in a tent, I was very happy to arrive back in London to running water, food that contains vitamins than mud and a bed that was more than an inch off the ground. Having said that, [...]

We loved the Klaxons’ first album Myths of the New Future so much and so we are very excited about their new album Surfing the Void. This video is their first sinlge Echoes out on the 16th of August. The album is out a week later.

We’d be quite impressed if you had noticed our newest product because, frankly, we haven’t done much shouting about it yet. Poor form. Jonathan Hurley hand makes each individual ‘Cone’ lamp from clay and natural slate. Thanks to the very natural components, tonally the lamp can adapt to many different environments. We love the textures [...]

Look at these. Aren’t they lovely?

If money was not object, would I really spend it on boules? Probably. Seeing as though these are £1700 I might go for some Handpicked ones for £12.95 whilst I save up my pennies.

Isn’t it weird when we just welcome a new saying into everyday language? Two or three years ago, if you said to someone that you’re just off to Cath Kidston’s new pop-up, they would have had no idea what you were on about. Every other page in every magazine tells us about a new pop-up [...]

Festival season is tearing its way through my regular sleeping pattern and after three nights sleeping in a tent in East Anglia, I feel a bit weird about being thrust with a very large rucksack and a tent onto two trains, two tubes and a bus then being expected to go to work the next [...]

Handpicked received our Secret Post Club whilst I was away. Charlie from http://waysoflooking.wordpress.com/ sent a book, Freakonomics, which I am assured is ‘Brilliant’, not only by the quote on the front from the Sunday Telegraph but also by several members of the office. She also sent some sun-dried bananas which were delicious and a shopping [...]

From the 9th of July until the 8th of August youll be able to find a selection of the Handpicked staff present and accounted for at Somerset House for the open air cinema. Weve always been a fan of the outdoor screenings, we went to the roof terrace winter cinema at the Berkeley Hotel.
