THE JOURNAL

With a shiny new season upon us, we’ve been adding plenty of, well, shiny new things to MR PORTER. With hundreds of arrivals dropping every week, though, we’re having trouble keeping up. To lend a helping hand, we have enlisted the services of our seasoned (and incredibly stylish) Senior Buyer, Mr George Archer, who has picked out a few of his favourites and is more than happy to share his sartorial wisdom with you. These are the pieces he’s snapping up before it’s too late.
01.
The exclusive T-shirt

“Fresh from our latest exclusive CELINE HOMME capsule, this Life 3/5 star T-shirt is great. Perhaps it’s telling me that everything in the world is gradually going to get better. Just get me on a holiday and I’ll believe it.”
02.
The luxurious robe

“After seeing Messrs Travis Scott, Justin Bieber and almost every other celebrity on Instagram wearing this Bottega Veneta robe and matching slippers, I’m convinced I need to level up my loungewear game, although anything is an upgrade on my current Ikea one. Is spending £370 on a robe too much? Definitely not.”
03.
The pearl bracelet

“I have been wanting to update my jewellery collection for some time, but can never find the right pieces. Most of what I come across is either too plain or too expensive. That’s not something you can say about POLITE WORLDWIDE®, a new label that also boasts eco credentials. Even better. And Mr Justin Bieber wears the brand. Need I say more?”
04.
The home comfort

“While working from home, I have been investing a lot more in what makes me happy in between the endless desk time and the never-ending grey British summer. This incredible luxurious cashmere patchwork palm-tree cushion from The Elder Statesman ticks all my boxes.”
05.
The nostalgic T-shirt

“I have no desire to nuke my parents, but this T-shirt does stir feelings of nostalgia for my teenage years. It comes from one of my favourite brands, Better Gift Shop, which is new to MR PORTER. Its water bottle and dog leash from our Super Mart pop-up are also on my Wish List. They’re just the thing for my daily summer walks with my pup.”
