The accessories are, as always, a witty take on tradition. This season Winston Churchill's silver envelope case is transformed into Clement Court's imaginary leather notepad and travel document folio. Available to order stamped with the owners name and address for ease of return if lost. Signature shagreen accessories - this time in 'tiger shagreen' - feature pen holders, drinks flasks and cup sets hung on hiking belts. Originally - long before drink driving laws - these were Alfred Dunhill motoring accessories found in the archive.
Cotton and silk pocket squares - echoing soldier's parachute silk maps - feature maps of the Trans-Siberian journey. Crocodile, whether wax treated or more conventional, is a frequent luxurious material for utilitarian items such as mountaineering boots, rucksacks and a take on the satchel. More traditional bags, such as the Gladstone and Doctor's bag, feature prominently this season. And, of course, there is the legendary Namiki pen.
