DUNHILL X BLACK TOMATO

Posted on 2010-10-11

It would be hard to pick up an old well-worn travel journal without feeling drawn to its stories and scrawled descriptions of places that no longer exist in the same way today. There’s something within the intimacy of the writing that triggers the compulsion to abandon everything and follow its path.

…which is pretty much what we did. Dunhill gave us exclusive access to the leather-bound journal recording the 1930’s expedition by their luxury goods expert Clement Court from Paris to Kyoto via Moscow and the steppes of Mongolia. We hadn’t seen anything quite like it.

Inspired by excerpts of Court’s book we set about re-interpreting his epic overland voyage as a series of unique, bespoke experiences…

Take tea in the wings of the Bolshoi Theatre in Russia, wander the Louvre long after closing-time, hunt on horseback with eagles on Mongolia’s wild plains or complete Court’s journey from start to finish on the Trans-Siberian Railway.

Here at Black Tomato, we believe the luxury of travel lies in discovery, and that is timeless. To find out more about our modern adventures inspired by the doyen of luxury apparel visit www.blacktomato.co.uk or call on 020 7426 9888.
