Last month Pippa Middleton attended the Boodles Boxing Ball in a beautiful Temperley London dress accompanied by a glittery gold clutch, one and the same as our gold Wilbur and Gussie Clutch.

Wedding season seems to have been really amplified this year. We loved seeing the photos from Kate Moss’s three day wedding party. From the Galliano, vintage-inspired dress, the McCartney-clad bridesmaids and the fantastic rumours flying around (our favourite: that Moss had hired naked muscle men sporting tattoos of the happy couple’s faces to welcome the [...]

I was thrilled to go to the London launch of East African safari company Gilroy & Camm last night. This is a safari company with a difference…instead of planning your trip with a sweet – but let’s face it, slightly useless – sales person in the UK, you get access [...]

We love festivals at Handpicked, and with the traditional likelihood of rain on the horizon for Glastonbury this weekend, we thought we’d share which other Great British Festivals we’re looking forward to and what we’d take from Handpicked…
The Ongoing Old Timers
Glastonbury Arguably the biggest, and some would say the best, Glasto is set [...]

A while ago we won Best Brand at the ECMOD awards. We were up against some tough competition, so the whole team were really proud when Jo, Handpicked’s Founder, and Natasha, Managing Director, came back with the good news.

There’s going to be food, cafes, workshops, flowers, bees, talks and we definitely expect [...]

How is the January detox going? There is only so much fruit and water one person can take. Ideally, to help ease the strain, we’d all like our own personal masseuses to hand. If, however, your budget won’t stretch this far, Handpicked recommend popping into Kiehl’s at Seven Dials in Covent Garden. They are giving [...]

If the post-Christmas finance situation is determined not to resolve itself anytime soon, Handpicked recommend a nice healthy dose of comedy. Namely our new favourite French/English odd-looking chap, Eric Lampaert.
We first caught a glimpse of his (strangely long fingered) profile at Latitude festival in the summer where he won Best Newcomer. Dazzled and enthralled by [...]

American artist Christian Faur has taken photographs from The Great Depression and recreated with rows and rows of carefully selected wax crayons. The result is a sepia tone, highly pixalated image.

We’ve reported on our fair share of the pop-up culture that has taken over the world of late. But when we saw this one, we thought it was a bit too funny and random to pass up. If you happen to be in Clerkenwell and have an unprecedented urge for something Scandinavian, then fear not, [...]
