Summer Nights Issoir is a nightwear label that specialises in beautiful silk sets, slips and robes. Designed by an all-female team with a focus on slow and ethical production, the brand’s aim is to help bring a little luxury into the life of its busy customers.

“I had a very clear vision when launching Issoir,” says founder Isobel France, pictured above. “When it came to bringing a team together I’ve found that the vision could only be fully appreciated by busy women, with their own responsibilities and time constraints, who can understand the therapeutic indulgence of an evening transformation.” issoir.com

A Perfect Litter

THE SUMMER EDIT COLLECTION MAGAZINE

Back in 2011 Robin Hutson the man behind THE PIGs opened the first PIG in the New Forest. “The lightbulb moment came when I saw the walled garden. Right from the start we wanted the Kitchen Garden to be at the heart and soul of the place and to play a big part in influencing the menu.” The concept was to break the mould of country house hotels and repositioning it as a ‘restaurant with rooms’ taking the inspiration from the kitchen garden with a commitment to growing fresh food and championing local producers within 25 miles. The bond between garden and kitchen is now so strong an almost obsessional culture for all things homegrown, homemade and local runs through our DNA. The gardens have also played a major part in influencing many other aspects of the overall operation too and the idea of ‘bringing the outside in’ has formed how the interiors now look. Today there are nine PIGs in the litter, THE PIG, Brockenhurst, THE PIG-in the wall, THE PIG near Bath, THE PIG-on the beach, THE PIG-at Combe, THE PIG-at Bridge Place, THE PIG-at Harlyn Bay, THE PIG-in the South Downs and THE PIG Cotswolds. thepighotel.com

How a group of friends created a modern twist on rosé, crafted in Provence A quiet revolution is sweeping through the coastal elite this season. From London’s hotspots to Sandbanks’ waterfronts, Après Provence commands attention. Sun kissed in colour and housed in an elegantly etched bottle with a glass stopper, Après is quickly becoming the drink of choice for those who define trends.

“We created Après because we couldn’t find what we wanted,” explains one of the founders, Toby Irons, who along with co-founders James Calland, Tom Glanfield and Andy Turley deeply connected to both Sandbanks’ vibrant social scene and the winemaking traditions of Provence, saw an opportunity to re-imagine rosé.

“Traditional Provence rosés felt too formal. We wanted something with authentic quality that transitions from afternoon to evening—a wine for people who lean into life.” apresprovence.com

Don’t let insurance get in the way of purchasing your dream property In our experience, buyers often leave insurance to the last minute when purchasing a new home, as they assume arranging it will be easy. And often, they aren’t aware that risk typically passes at the exchange of contracts, and this is when insurance should be in place.

There are also all sorts of things that can trip you up and leave you without the right level of cover that you need, when you need it.

Cover at point of exchange

There are lots of potential insurance complications that can derail what seems like a straightforward sale, from a non-standard property to a property with an adverse prior history of subsidence or flooding, to an indemnity issue causing problems.

And if you can’t find cover, it may adversely affect the property purchase.

By speaking to a specialist insurance broker like Howden as early as possible in the buying process, you can make sure that insurance is not a barrier to purchase and that you’re all set to go on the date of exchange.

Contents insurance

One thing that is easy to overlook is your contents insurance during the move. Most policies will provide some level of cover but there could be limits, such as restricting the total value of items covered or what is covered – for example jewellery might be excluded. There may also be a time limit or complete exclusion for contents being kept in storage.

Alternatively, if you’re using a removals company you may be tempted to rely on their cover.

However, check the small print as it may be limited, and should you wish to top up, it could prove expensive.

Planned building works

If you’re planning to renovate, convert or extend your new property, remember to let your insurance company know.

Insurance policies have a building works condition written into the wording, and if you break this condition, you could find yourself without any cover. Larger scale works, especially if you’re not living at the property, may require an additional specialist policy.

Building works insurance can be a minefield and it’s easy to find yourself lost in a myriad of terms and conditions. That’s why you should speak to a specialist broker like Howden. We’ll translate policy

wordings, explain any detail you might be unsure of and, most importantly, make sure that you have the right level of cover in place.

Remember that once you’ve finished the works, you’ll need to review your sums insured. Failure to increase them upon completion of the building work could result in your home being significantly underinsured.

Insurance with Howden

Providing advice is at the heart of everything we do, so we always offer clear, sensible and independent advice about what our clients should insure and how, so you can be confident in the event of a claim.

To that end, we’ll always check the small print and offer guidance on any limits and exclusions. And we’ll offer transparency and clear communication throughout the claims process.
