Patrick Kinmonth's Little Black Book


Albertelli, Rome

The handmade shirts here, cut to fit your body, beautifully double-lined in the chest and with deep mother-of-pearl buttons, are my armour and my lucky charm. I always wear one on stage at first nights. flanellagrigia.com

Optimum Brasses, Devon

If we're driving back to London from our place in Devon, we sometimes stop at Optimum Brasses for the best handles and knobs to use on old furniture and in old-fashioned kitchens. optimumbrasses.co.uk

Sant Ambroeus, New York

In New York nothing sets me up of a morning better than a tuna roll (panino al tonno e carciofi) and a couple of espresso macchiati at Sant Ambroeus. It outcreams any I've found in Italy. santambroeus.com

Lizzy's Larder, Devon

We get most of the stuff we don't grow ourselves from this amazing farm shop at Milton Damerel. We especially love the mustard-seed and pork sausage rolls. lizzyslarder.freeuk.com

Amsterdam Tulip Museum, Amsterdam

My wife, the photographer Tessa Traeger, and I delight in wild tulips, which we buy from Colorblends through the Tulip Museum. This year we're investing in 1,000 Iranian Clusiana bulbs to naturalise in a meadow at our Devon home. amsterdamtulipmuseum.com

Peta Smyth, London SW1

I like to buy old braid, worn-out 17th-century velvet and scraps of collapsing 18th-century silk at this Pimlico shop. I have a hoard assembled over the years. petasmyth.com

Brachard, Geneva

In Geneva, I'll pop in to buy yet another deerskin perpetual notebook from Brachard. Perfectly designed, they are always begged, borrowed or stolen from me. brachard.ch
