Founded in 2012 by Swedish brothers, Niklas and Mattis Oppermann, the brand is known for its minimalist designs and premium leather, such as Italian Vachetta for its briefcases, wallets and backpacks.
Belgian linen towel
Linen manufacturer Libeco is a fifth-generation family business with more than 160 years of expertise.

This large, striped linen towel can double up as a beach blanket or a useful throw for your holiday terrace. Made from European flax, the fabric is inspected yard by yard during the manufacturing process and finished by hand.
