Caitlin Thompson’s Favorite Things

“I first clocked this sleek, utilitarian tanker bag on our executive creative director Gianmaria. I’m hard on bags, so military-grade nylon feels like a good choice.”

“The best book and magazine store in Mexico City is also an art collective and pension. Grab a bar of Casa Bosques chocolate—lo mejor.”

“Traveling through the Pays Basque, I’ve gotten to stay in one of the Gomez brother’s architectural marvels.”

“This has refreshed and revitalized my skin all summer—no easy feat when I’m playing tennis outside as often as I can.”

“Why work in a chair when you can work on a settee? It has all the benefits of a couch but you don’t have to share it. This sexy Gio Ponti midcentury number is exactly the vibe my home office is going for.”

“An approachable science fiction love story written in turns by two authors.”

“I love to cook and host a dinner party, but my current napkins aren’t living up to my whimsical kitchen tiles and off-piste menus. These match my ambitions.”

“With the tennis renaissance, gear is ubiquitous. Yet most apparel and shoes are still grotesque and ill-fitting. Mr. Porter’s tennis edit is on point. I’ll be copping these Nike Air Zoom Vapors.”

“For a few years, every visit to Stockholm involved stylish hotels with toiletries by Byredo. Bal D’Afrique was by far my favorite. It still takes me back to Sodermalm.”

“When tennis season ends, I’m already thinking about ski season. This year, my upgraded kit will come courtesy of Sease, the sportswear brand from the craftsmen at Loro Piana.”
