As you all know already (we hope), here at The Dapper Chapper we are all about helping you to look stylish and find the best new fashion around on the market. Now as the ‘barman’ for The Dapper Chapper, I don’t often get asked to contribute on the fashion front – let’s just say we […]
Last week I picked up my new favourite thing, a personalised Smythson Diary from the store in The Royal Exchange. I’ve always used a diary, despite running a few social communities and being online all day, I actually still prefer to jot down my appointments. 2017’s diary takes things to a whole new level. Why? Well, […]
If you are looking for a tipple to celebrate Christmas this year than you could not do much better than to plump for a cognac that, since 1889, has been synonymous with history and sophistication. We are of course talking about Courvoisier. Cognac is going through something of a revival this year and Courvoisier can […]
And now for something completely different… Earlier this month, Dapper Chapper were invited to the launch of a brand new spirit called Freya. Freya is the first spirit of its kind to be created from foraged birch sap, found in the forests of Northern Europe and for those of you Chapper’s that are familiar with […]
On the completion of the new East Croydon Station in 1992, the building was described as adding a ‘soothing uncluttered elegance to a remarkably jumbled part of Croydon.’ The glass and steel building, though not universally liked, was designed so future reorganisation and change could easily be accommodated. Timelessness, built in. Perhaps the designers knew that almost […]
We’ve not had vodka on the Dapper Bar for a little while, so we thought it was nigh on time that we put that right. To make up for some lost vodka time, we thought we’d bring you one of the most attention grabbing and distinguishing bottles on the market right now – Mamont Vodka. […]
This is new territory for Jack Daniels, after careful consideration they are taking steps into rye town. A fully matured, single barrel wonder, this is the first time they have used a new grain in over 100 years. So yes, it’s a pretty big deal. With rye whiskey consumption at ten times the level it […]
Everyone wants a bottle of Crystal Head on their bar and we are no exception. Why, well because it looks like this (pic of the standard bottle by Dapper Snapper Joe Burns): But we’re not here to talk about how good our bar looks, instead about the news that the multi-award winning, ultra-premium Crystal Head […]
Recently you may have seen me talk about my new love on social media. The love comes in the form of my new specs, by MOSCOT Originals: I picked them up from the very cool store on Beak Street (which is the one just at the end of Carnaby Street), which is basically a haven […]
In an age where almost every brand claims that buying their product is an expression of your individuality, does this mean none of us are individuals? We assign a fragrance to ourselves like we invent our signatures; we hope nobody will come up with the same idea. In reality, we’re at the mercy of the […]
Before I get stuck into this blog I need to come clean on something… I don’t think I’ve ever had Drambuie before this week! Alas, at London Cocktail Week I made up for it by trying five of the brands hero cocktails during a night of live jazz put on by Brass and Crimson at […]
When it comes to carrying money around which one do you prefer; a wallet, card-holder or a note-clip? Well I’ve been looking for something that not only looks the part but has the compact nature of a card-holder and a bit of space for my loose change. The brand that’s delivered for me is Ettinger, who are one […]
This blog is a bit overdue because you might have seen in August we embarked on an awesome collaboration with Maserati U.K. We were asked to takeover the brands Instagram account for the whole of August and were given a car to head off to create the content. We showcased a Dapper Chapper Weekend Away, which consisted […]
Limoges porcelain vessel with satin metallic glaze Whatever your opinion of autumn, it is perhaps pure coincidence that this evocative time of vibrant colours and the end of summer coincides with the beginning of the London Design Festival. For the interior design community, Decorex is one of the more important dates in the calendar. Synonymous […]
