TABLE TALK

GET THE SET

No gentleman’s home is complete without a decent set of crockery. Stat. While not everyone may see them, (and you can often get by with just about anything), but when it really does count, when you want to represent your best self, you want them to look and feel good. Which is why a true gentleman’s space is undoubtedly stocked with proper dishes. That said, they needn’t be fancy. A great starting place is always basic white. With appealing minimalist design and clean lines, later add-ons are easy as you build up your crockery collection.
