The wonderful independent Swiss watch brand, Oris, have launched their first retail outlet within London and we are very excited about it. And you should be too. South Molton Street plays host to this exciting new pop-up store, so chappers I would advise you find time to peruse their incredible range of stunning time-pieces. Oris are […]
Chappers, Sweatlife is returning! For those of you who attended last year, I imagine you’re already in the Cobra (Bhujangasana), limbering up for the occasion and seeking out your best lycra. For those of you who didn’t, allow me to elaborate. Last year, one of our favourite apparel brands, Lululemon, hosted a one-day fitness expo, […]
Coffee worship is becoming such a popular bandwagon to jump on. Gone are the days where Starbucks was praised for its quality coffee and community feel. It’s now seen as an unattractive commercial giant, whose ‘bubbly’ staff ask for your name…and somehow continue to get it spectacularly wrong. The proverbial nose of the coffee snob, upturns at […]
Since the announcement three years ago that Rolls-Royce would be entering the SUV market, we’ve been intrigued as to what was in store. The long await is now over! Named after the largest diamond ever discovered which now resides in the British Crown Jewels, Cullinan was let loose in London last night and straight away took […]
In the last decade, the world has experienced some mind-boggling transitions and technological breakthroughs that have sought to enhance the lives of humans and also extend the life of Mother Earth. I’d be the first to admit that advances are being made at a startling rate and it can be bloody tough to keep up […]
If said with enough conviction, the word ‘coffee’ is a complete sentence. So goes my new favourite quote. The annual coffee festival was in town this past weekend and being the self-proclaimed flat white connoisseur (read: obsessive) that I am, I naturally had to partake. You could even go as far as saying that my […]
Chappers, have you ever been flicking through a magazine or simply googled, ‘perfect homes,’ and stumbled across a place where you think to yourself, ‘Wow, that is literally my dream home?’ Of course you have; we all have, multiple times. It’s these seemingly unattainable goals that keep us motivated and driven for more, on a […]
I think it’s universally accepted that a large proportion of humans love sleeping. You constantly hear people uttering that they need to ‘Catch up on sleep,’ or ‘How it took ages for them to nod off,’ – who knew it was such an interesting topic of conversation (It’s not by the way – Yawn!) One of the biggest perks […]
Gin is still very much in here at The Dapper Chapper HQ and a brand that has caught our eye is at late is multi-award winning distillers, Edinburgh Gin. They came to our attention during February after we received a bottle of their limited edition Edinburgh Valentine’s Day Gin. The small-batch distillers are known for […]
You might associate the phrase ‘Good things come to those who wait’ with a darker, more Irish drink than this, but after nearly 200 years in the making, Greene King is now launching its Heritage Series. From just five preserved barley seeds, originally stored in 1825, an ancient recipe has been rediscovered by the Greene […]
The beautiful surroundings of Glendalough are the inspiration for this namesake whiskey. The Glen of the Two Lakes, formed in the ice age by an immense glacier, is one of Ireland’s foremost beauty spots. The heritage associated with its raw, remote beauty – what drew St Kevin to the area to practice in solitude – […]
London Beer Week, now in its fourth year, is returning to the capital on Monday, with a huge array of activities to celebrate a city of great drinking. The annual festival of all things beer, lager, ale and cider sees some of London’s top brewers and beer enthusiasts come together to enjoy a host of […]
You see all kinds of strange things whilst travelling…the aeronautical obsessors or trainspotters, the chappers who are forever running late for connections, those who thrive on getting absolutely thumped in the bar before travelling, and the deliberators who stand in front of the Waterstones fiction section for an hour trying to select a book (which they […]
This cracker comes from one of the most northernly distilleries on the Scottish mainland, and the extreme location and unique stills mean it’s a single malt scotch whisky that delivers both the power and the subtlety of the sea – a proper maritime malt. We were fortunate enough to give the award winning, Old Pulteney, […]
