Anthony Hopenhajm’s Favorite Things

“I bring one of these bags everywhere I go. Usually it’s half empty on departure and stuffed full on my return. Because of the solid construction, you can pack them quite heavy.”

“My favorite sport boot. I was first introduced to these during our Gstaad winter exhibition at the Huus Hotel, where they’re sold.”

“Well-cared-for, worn leather whispers elegance much more than something brand new and out-of-the-box. Hubert’s helps you get there.”

“I loved Babar as a child. Selling some of Laurent de Brungoff’s original watercolors in our Nantucket shop has made me a fan all over again.”

“I’m often sketching new designs or working with color palettes from Seaman Schepps’s archives. I love using these colored pencils, which I carry with my Faber-Castell Perfect Pencil.”

“I’m an old soul who still likes to jot notes on paper. And what’s more appropriate than a jeweler using gold-edged note pads?”

“I’m often invited to share a meal. If it’s at a friend’s house, I love to send flowers the day of. If I’m invited out, then a note with flowers are delivered the next day.”

“I might consume a dozen espressos during the day, but my evening drink is tea. This glass pot shows the rich color of the brew and easily keeps the nasty bits out of your cup.”

“A small sweet after dinner is the only way to conclude a meal. Nothing beats the unexpected crunch and original flavors of this chocolate.”

“Soft light sets the mood beautifully. I make sure to have several flickering candles lit as the daylight dwindles.”
