My Favorite Things

Marie-Chantal has many lives. She is an expert in art history, a mother of five, the founder of an eponymous children’s-wear collection, and even the crown princess of Greece. As of 2019, she was anointed an expert on the art of living, thanks to the publication of her book, Manners Begin at Breakfast: Modern Etiquette for Families. It’s a rather intimidating C.V., but Marie-Chantal is as friendly, approachable, and stylish as they come. Naturally, her must-haves of the moment combine functionality, style, and charm

Adult Cowboy Pyjamas

“I launched our Match Your Mini collection last year, and Cowboy is my favorite, especially since I’m binge-watching Yellowstone. The whole family got pj’s for the holidays.”

Hermès

Beach Towel

“I have been collecting Hermès beach towels for many years. I love the unique designs and bold use of color—perfect for summer days spent at the beach. The La Route des Plages, designed by Quentin Monge is next on my wish list.”
