The Union Jack Lands in Macau

British heritage brand Jack Wills has finally made its debut in Macau. The store - which opened November 7th in the Venetian Macau’s Shoppes – became the 80th location worldwide. The newly-opened 1,800-square-foot store includes the Jack Wills core collection and active sportswear pieces along with the brand’s homeware and loungewear ranges. The brand prides itself on being influenced by the best that Britain has to offer “from our history and culture to sporting and country pursuits.” Typical items that can be found in the store range from Chelsea boots to peacoats and everything inbetween that is quintessentially British.

If there is any question as to which country the brand hails from, it’s quickly answered as you walk through the door. British sporting memorabilia adorns the walls, and there are numerous Union Jack flags (including one hand-painted on the floor) along with British Chesterfield sofas and leather armchairs.

The opening last Friday also saw the launch of the Jack Wills Winter and Christmas 2014 collection, giving a festive touch to the new location.

The seasonal collection includes womenswear and menswear, as well as a collection of homeware. Pieces in the women’s collection include holiday dresses embellished with sequins and merino wool knits dyed in festive colors including forest green and berry red.

Following are a few of our favorites that are currently available at the Jack Wills store.

The Barcome Chelsea boot in black has the perfect heel. Short enough for day and high enough to dress up an evening outfit, we especially like it when paired with the next item. HK$1,200

The Eberton wool skirt has an elastic waist allowing for an adjustment of the length of the piece, and we love the wintry look of the red cream and navy check pattern. HK$750

Although winters in this area of the world aren’t nearly as nippy as the ones seen in the UK, a jacket is still a necessity. Lightweight, but still providing warmth, the Lymington blazer is a perfect fit, even better, the charcoal color goes well with any color. HK$2,000

A quality black leather jacket is wardrobe staple. One without too many embellishments and decorations is key to lasting fashion that won’t be out of style in a few seasons, which is why we love the Habick leather jacket with quilted shoulders and silver zippers. HK$3,880

Finally, we can’t finish without giving the iconic penny loafer a mention. The Blackford loafer is made in the UK from 100 percent leather. It is versatile and great when paired with jeans for a casual weekend look, or with a pencil skirt for the office. HK$2,500

To kick off the shopping season, Jack Wills Macau is offering seasonal promotions. Visit the store for more details.
