HIGHTIDE

Hightide were set up in Fukuoka in 1994 by a surfer and a design obsessive, and the name is meant to feel like the tide coming in. Stationery, diaries, bags and kitchen bits with a mid-century American and European look, plus Penco, their pen line, which started with one American-made pen. What we have is the Attache fountain pen in a marbled mint. You do not need a fountain pen. That has never stopped anyone.

Brownie's Barge, A Brew & A Bit Of Ralph

It’s been a while since Nigel and John Wilcock, better known to pretty much everyone as Brownie, had a proper catch-up, so naturally we decided the best place to rectify this was on a barge. Not ju...
