Heist of London Hairdryer Kit 

Brand New British grooming brand Heist is challenging grooming conventions with the launch of the first men’s hairdryer and grooming kit developed with men in mind. No more ‘shameful sharing’ or using girls hairdryers with this salon strength, conditioning, pistol-shaped dryer and styling kit. Engineered to give men the power, control and confidence they need to achieve any hairstyle with ease. Give your man the gift of great hair this Christmas! Established in London by an entrepreneurial husband and wife team following a futile search that found no hairdryers specifically designed for men, Heist is asking men to say goodbye to ‘sheepish borrowing’ of their partner's dryers. Heist is encouraging men everywhere to bid farewell to flat and lifeless hair with the launch of their brand-new specialist men’s hairdryer and tool kit. The kit is made up of a men’s hairdryer with a salon strength 2,200W engine for super-fast drying with Blue UV light technology for shine and scalp conditioning, giving you a smooth barber-style finish in half the time. The dryer has Dual Heat and Dual Flow coupled with a wide nozzle and cool shot button offering easy precision styling. There is also an impressive 3-metre cord, a leather storage strap, a choice of UK or European plug fixings and branded storage bag for transportation and to keep everything safe.

World leading glove maker, British heritage company Dents, has just released one of its most beautiful – and expensive - gloves ever.

Why is this glove so special? Only a handful of companies in the world work with unique South American peccary leather, a leather prized for its elasticity and suppleness, and also because it is very tough and strong; gloves made with peccary leather can last a lifetime. The lining is no less exceptional, created in the world’s most expensive and finest wool from the charming vicunas, a relative of the llama and their thick but ultra-soft woollen coat traps layers of warm air giving it the very best comfort and insulation properties.
