If you’ve followed our adventures on social media and through our newsletter, you know Hotel Il Pellicano recently held a fabulous pop-up at Claridge’s in London, the legendary Mayfair hotel synonymous with old-world glamour and contemporary cool.
While there, we sparked a beautiful friendship with Paula Fitzherbert, the Global Head of Communications at the British property – an effortlessly chic and razor-sharp tastemaker very much after our own hearts.
With a career spent shaping the narratives of some of London’s most iconic luxury establishments, Fitzherbert is the discrete power behind the curtain – the person that curates every single detail to ensure that Claridge’s remains a stalwart of timeless elegance in the hospitality world – a place both exclusive and endlessly talked about. With such credentials, we thought she’d be perfect as our monthly guest for the ISSIMO Edit. And we weren’t wrong! Here are her picks of her favourite products on ISSIMO.
ISSIMO X Rivolta Carmignani Pellicano Hotels Beach Towel
I love this towel as the yellow and white stripes from Il Pellicano have become really iconic, and the vibrant colour just makes me happy and reminds me of warm sunshine.
Break Alpina Coffee Moka Pot
There is nothing better than a great cup of coffee, and of course Italians do it best ! I can’t start the day without a fix of coffee , so this pot will be perfect in my kitchen.
ISSIMO x Choosing Keeping Water Colours
I love this idea – we have a similar painting kit at our hotel at the Maybourne Riviera where the views are amazing and it’s great to encourage guests to be creative and capture the moment. I admire a clever collaboration, and Choosing Keeping is one of my favourite shops in London. I cannot resist their stationery and cards, always a brilliant edit.
Labsolue Mezzatorre Timo Candle
Scented candles have become such an essential part of our daily life these days and I’m always looking for a new one to light up my sitting room. I love this one, which is inspired by the flowers and woods around Mezzatorre. A wonderful reminder of this particularly beautiful hotel.
ISSIMO x Chinti & Parker Chic-issimo Sweater Cream
I have a series of sweaters I’ve bought from hotels. Somehow I’m always in the mood to buy when I’m staying at a hotel – if you can pop it on your bill it somehow doesn’t count ! This one is particularly chic of course and a great keepsake.
ISSIMO Beauty Travel Kit
This travel kit is truly the perfect edit of super useful products, just as I would expect from the ever-glamorous Marie-Louise. A great combination of the practical – the collagen eye patches are essential – with the indulgent – the bath gel is particularly lush and relaxing.
