Exhibition 2, closed Sat, Sep 19
Weight & Linen
Weight & Linen gathers objects that ask very little and reward patience. Linen creases, brass dulls, leather darkens toward tobacco and ink, and a wool throw settles into the arm of a chair. Nothing here is precious. Everything is built to be used, handled and dropped on a bench, and to look better afterwards.

Some things ask very little and reward patience. This week is about things that get better with weight: linen, brass, leather, wool. Nothing precious.
Dark blue linen. Buttoned up, or open over bone trousers. Let it crease.
Light beige, classic cut. The creases are the point, and they'll oblige.
Grain leather, brass hardware. Reversible, so one belt gets to age two ways.
Citrus peel, eucalyptus, soft woods. A window opened in a room of linen.
Wool with a fringed edge. For the arm of a chair, and years of naps.
The rest of the exhibition is on Shopience. Stay a while. It gets better.
I The Linen Rail
Flax, navy and taupe, cut to crease and meant to.
01Casual Locky 2 Linen Overshirt
$$Dark blue linen, buttoned up or worn open over bone trousers. Let it crease.
02Sanderson Linen Trouser
$$Light beige linen in a classic cut. Creasing is the point, and it will oblige.
03Linen Cuban Collar Overshirt
$$Navy linen with a Cuban collar. Wear it open over a flax tee, sleeves pushed up.
04Forge Jacket
$$$Dark ink, in a rugged overshirt cut. Button it over oatmeal knits and let it age.
05Logo Linen Trouser
$$Taupe linen with a drawstring waist. Unhurried by design; keep the logo company with quiet things.
II The Hall Table
Leather, canvas and brass, set down by the door.
06Tom Ford Grain Leather T-Icon Belt
$$$Grain leather with brass hardware. Reversible, so one belt gets to age two ways.
07Chloé Woody Small Linen Tote
$$$A small linen tote that crumples pleasantly and never pretends otherwise.
08Prada Jardinière Extra-large Cotton Canvas Tote Bag
$$$Cotton canvas, visible stitching, leather trim. Extra large, for the bread and the books.
09Balenciaga Medium Le City Tote Bag
$$$Goatskin, hand-braided handles, waxed cord. The brass should warm and dull nicely.
10The Row Georgia Canvas Tote
$$$Plain canvas, plain lines. The bag stays quiet so the walk needn't.
11Fendi Baguette Parchment-coloured Leather Slides
$$$Parchment tumbled leather, calf-lined and bone-coloured. Quiet now, and likely to pick up a tan.
12Fendi Baguette Dark Brown Leather Slides
$$$Dark brown tumbled leather in tobacco territory. Scuffs will read as character.
13Essential Tote Bag
$Canvas-style, with a press stud and nothing precious. Expect it to be dropped on a bench.
14Ferragamo Gancini Credit Card Holder
$$$Blue hammered calfskin, a small metal Gancini. It should darken toward ink with handling.
15The Row Vivienne Leather Slide Sandals
$$$A minimalist leather slide with no logo to age out of. Good beside a creased linen trouser.
16Tod's Card Holder In Leather
$$$Soft calfskin, snap strap, three gusseted compartments. Pocket-sized, and ready for the creases.
- 17
Tom Ford Grain Leather T-Icon Belt
$$$Grain leather and brass, reversible: two chances to wear in and darken.
18Veja Etna Bold Leather Full Black Slides
$$Padded black leather, touch-strap, flat rubber sole. The sensible slide, with a little give.
III The Open Window
One candle, lit to let some air into the room.
IV The Armchair
A wool throw, and nowhere else to be.
