As you should also know July 24th marks the start of mandatory mask wearing in shops in the UK. So we’ve paired up with long time friend of shop, designer, social entrepreneur and founder of Fieldplay, Linda Mackie, on a mask project.

This week we are absolutely delighted to welcome back some too long absent Hambledoners. And we asked them some questions about their return to work.

This is an up to date report on our current response to the Coronavirus outbreak and our trading status.

It has been a strange old time for the past couple of months and we thought it might be nice to let you know what’s been happening while you’ve been away and what’s happening now you’re back in the room.

It has been a whirlwind of pick, pack and dispatch these past few weeks. Sandy Suffield (yes, a relation) has designed a whole new suite of stationery and it is making our parcels very pretty indeed.

It’s brand new window time at The Hambledon. And having Sandy Suffield locked down in Hampshire has proved something of a win. Check out the making and the doing of our Rainbow in The Square extravaganza.

As you know the virtual shop is very much open. For those Winchester locals wandering past the shop on their daily constitutional we wanted to let them know about the website but in a way that was fun, arresting and interesting.

Meet Jasper. By day he is our weekend stalwart. By night, he is a singer, guitar player, music afficionado, and, for the purposes of this particular exercise, our resident baker.

Yep. It's that time of the year again. Fresh season. Fresh ideas. Fresh inspiration. Spring 20 at The Hambledon is titled Meadowlands: a world of flowers and colour and nature.

January is the month of the Menswear Market in Paris. Rob and Theo braved the gilets jaunes and hot footed it to the City of Lights.

We like to think we are naturally forward looking; pressing on; charging into the future; looking for the next bit of fun. But before 2020 gets fully underway we thought we'd have a quick look back at last year. Have a brief moment of resting on our laurels before we do it all again. Here's what 2019 meant to us.

Join us instore on Saturday 16th November where we are joined by two of our favourite brands. Alex Monroe will be doing free tag engraving with every purchase of their jewellery and Bon Parfumeur will be showcasing their entire fragrance range.
