MR PORTER is without a shadow of doubt the only e-commerce brand that could even come close to describing itself as a style icon its own right. Falling comfortably within the Tom Ford zone in terms of refinement and aesthetic – nod to Brand & Content Director Mr Jeremy Langmead who has shaped the company in such an extraordinary manner within a relatively short period of time.
With that having been said, this year MR PORTER has evolved from pure curation to, what I’d like to call, “curated creation” with the introduction of KINGSMAN – dubbed as “a brand for the modern gentleman” – a 60-piece collection that includes suits, watches, ties, umbrellas, briefcases and more inspired and curated by the Kingsman film director Mr Matthew Vaughn, costume designer Ms Arianne Phillips and a dream team of British heritage brands.
Of course this movement now has the opportunity to be reflected across various categories of the MR P offering, so without further ado, I’d like to spotlight the MR PORTER GROOMING kit – a selection of some favourite products from the MR P team. The verdict? Pretty damn on point. You can see the full list and experience a video over on mrporter.com, but here are some of my personal highlights…
Pankhurst London is a favourite of mine and have had a solid relationship with MR PORTER for quite some time, within the kit you’ll find their signature Head to Toe shampoo and Sage Styling Cream. Secondly, British staple brand Penhaligon have partnered to provide a subtle and refined deodorant. You’ll also find REN Skincare’s 1-minute Flash Facial for the time poor (note there should always be time to “masque”, hello Patrick Bateman) and a final favourite is Dr Jackson’s balancing 03 Oil and M.E. Skin Lab’s Cell Restoring Mask.
The up sum is that you receive thirteen super high quality products – many of which are under 100ml for the travellers amongst us – for a very reasonable £50. Welcome to a sure fire win Christmas present for every single one of your male family members and more!
