The opener
Fear of a mirthless retail future, media in Marrakech, pigeons in Aarhus and the FCC in HK: an appealing assortment from all corners of the world.
Christmas shopping in Helsinki
The first stop-off in our three-part sleigh tour brings us to the Finnish capital for festive finery.
Good for the goose
Historic outerwear brand Canada Goose is riding a tailwind of shifting consumer habits to Europe and beyond. As the coat-maker migrates from North America, could it lay another golden egg?
Christmas shopping in Boston
Forget New York and LA, this East Coast city has some of the best shopping outposts in the US and is the perfect place to pick up a few yuletide favourites.
Stay sharp
Fix up for the freeze with this cosy yet crisp mix of styles to add to your winter wardrobe.
Knitty gritty

Best in class: Paris
The six-shop retail space selling high-end perfume alongside Japanese flowers and superlative coffee, all backed up by personal touches and stellar service.
Moving targets
The man who grew United Arrows into a Japanese fashion powerhouse is now reviving the country’s artisanal clothing culture. Osamu Shigematsu talks career choices, retail challenges and recrafting the kimono.
