For all the natural early darkness of the season promptly unveiling, lights, candles and bright decorations warmed the palpable, foggy, and frosty air that this time of the year so often brings upon the city.
The reader is here beckoned forth into a destination most extraordinary. A journey awaits, a passage through the very spirit of a Turnbull & Asser Christmas spanning the past, present and future. A tale in which time itself blends distinctly into a universal spirit of festivity, accompanying you through the very essence of both tradition and innovation.
SHIRTS & TIES
The Spirit of Christmas Past
Our journey begins with a vibrant exploration of Turnbull & Asser's origins, where pattern-rich shirts and ties are still exquisitely handcrafted. The softest silks and finest cottons, in refined hues, parade across the shop floor, passing from hand to hand as attire selection remains the noblest task of the day. Stripes and checks, so carefully devised, have adorned shirts in every collar and cuff one might encounter. Yet, the reader may have another chance and hope to uncover the most distinctive pattern and colour combination, fit for the grandest of occasions.
KNITWEAR & ACCESSORIES
The Spirit of Christmas Present
The reader strolled along the road, recognising the fine goods glistening in the shop windows: warm knits, shiny cufflinks, and, further ahead, an array of accessories. Cravats with elegant motifs, velvety bow ties, precious scarves, socks, braces, and studs—all ready to complete his finest attire. A smile spread across his face as his eyes settled on the vivid knitwear before him. A cashmere jumper in the richest green—his heart’s desire! Blue cardigans and vests to layer on the coldest days—his ensemble for the morrow.
