A reliable rate of return
Few appreciate the rise in value of the Birkin more than Catherine B, founder of Les Trois Marches, a boutique dedicated to vintage Hermès and Chanel on the Rue Guisarde.

The Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride Out
We all know that the motorcycling community is a tight-knit group. Endless hours tinkering in the garage, ordering new parts online and chatting with our mates about the quirky little things we’re currently doing to show our passion for the freedom of riding a motorbike. It’s what bonds us all together.
Ferrari F8 Spider
Fresh from four days in Scotland driving the simply astonishing Ferrari F8 Spider, there are times in one’s life where you have to sit back, take some time, and genuinely let an experience wash over you. You need to take it in. Revel in it. The smells, the sights, the sheer visceral nature of it.
Lagerfeld: The CHANEL shows
I met Karl Lagerfeld for the first time in 2006 because (again) of Stephen and James. Harper’s Bazaar had commissioned me to shoot his portrait in various iconic New York locations. It was very nerve-racking; there were a lot of models and a lot that could go wrong.
Hospitality investments: Shaken and stirred
Celebrations are still on ice for the hospitality sector, even as Freedom Day looms. Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, looks at what this means for investors.
Range Rover P400e
The grandfather of the segment is the Land Rover Range Rover. Not the Range Rover Sport, not the Velar, not even the Discovery. The full fat, bonnet at shoulder height, wafting armchair that is the Range Rover.
THE JADE HOLLAND COOPER EDITION
LEADING THE PACKINTERVIEW
The Expert View: Simon Black, IMF Climate Economist
about a decade ago when I started working in climate, very few economists in governments were actively engaged. Now, I routinely engage with people in important ministries of government that both care and can potentially do something about it, given the right tools.
The Rise of Jade Holland Cooper
15 years in, Holland Cooper isn’t chasing trends, it’s building legacy: expanding into bespoke ateliers, menswear and a new 70,000 sq ft headquarters, all without a single external investor. We join Jade at the Cheltenham Festival as she shares insights into her strategic vision, the challenges of scaling a British luxury brand, and her approach to sustainable growth in a competitive market. Want to know why betting on yourself might be the most rewarding wager of all?
The Jade Holland Cooper Edition
This is most evident in our cover star Jade Holland Cooper, whose designs are blazing new trails (although with plenty of timeless appeal) in the world of equestrian-adjacent fashion and beyond. Hers is a tale as old as time, told anew with ferociously literal horsepower: inspiration, heritage, foresight, hard work and relentless dedication, all resulting in something really rather remarkable.

A one card future: Revolut
At its inception, Revolut was a simple prepaid card and app designed to facilitate cost-effective currency exchanges for globetrotters. I haven’t, thankfully, had to call in the Winter sports insurance for a chopper ride off the mountain, but it’s a very slim card to zip into a ski jacket.
Digital Assets in Transition: Institutionalising Crypto in a Post-Hype Market?
The proliferation of stablecoins, particularly those pegged to fiat currencies, has catalyzed adoption across transactional and settlement layers. These instruments offer a bridge between crypto-native liquidity and traditional finance, addressing key frictions around volatility and compliance.
FILM
Lamborghini Aventador Ultimae LP780-4
I slip my slightly clammy hand gingerly into the slot, ease some pressure and pull gently skyward. That scissor-door entry is nothing less than muted pornography. So effortless in its execution, it’s part of the recipe that makes the Aventador just that little bit more special.
Aesthetic Harmonics – The Casio PX-S7000
Quality, innovation and – by god, in this case – style. Casio’s reputation precedes it when it comes to its product development and, crucially, its product refinement. Their first electronic keyboard, The Casiotone CT-201, was birthed by Toshio Kashio and his team in January 1980.

Alpina – Startimer Pilot Chronograph
Like many Swiss watchmaking dynasties, Alpina can trace its founding back to the turn of the nineteenth century – 1883 to be precise – by Gottlieb Hauser, a watchmaker in Winterthur, who also established the Swiss Watchmakers Corporation (Union Horlogère Suisse).
Stacia Suttles
It wasn’t until Stacia Suttles turned 19 and stepped into a boxing ring for the first time, that the amateur fighter realised she was exceptionally gifted in the combat sport.
Twisted 21
I scanned the horizon of the Finnish race circuit but Charlie was possibly doing a few laps in the 500hp V8 110. “Let me see if I can find him Tony”. “Cool man”. This was the first of a handful of semi awkward exchanges I would have with Tony Hawk that week as we crossed from Finland into Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Austria and Monaco.
