MONIQUE DES BOUVRIE'S MUST HAVES

Do you like adding star favourites to your online shopping list? Monique des Bouvrie tells MASTERS which must haves you shouldn't miss.Online Editor: Natasha Hendriks

Hervé van der Straeten

Monique: "Who makes beautiful jewelry, including huge eye-catchers that really catch the eye. He sees jewelry as architecture. I never like to buy standard things. It always has to have something special and bespoke. But if I see something I think is great, I immediately make a whole project out of it, too, then I really go looking for it."

Chanel shopping cart

Monique: "A Chanel-style shopping cart. So great, just a kind of art piece. Only you still have to put a purse loose in it, otherwise your lipstick and change will fall out."

Scented candles Courrèges

Monique: "The fashion brand Courrèges now also has scented candles. These come in a perspex box and are completely in the style of the fashion brand: sleek, sixties-style. Lovely scents! Available at The Arsenal."

White Patchouli, Tom Ford

Monique: "When I love a perfume, like White Patchouli by Tom Ford, I stay loyal for a long time. Until I no longer smell it myself. Even as a child I liked patchouli. Then I bought essential oil in an Indian store. It has something nostalgic about it."

FieldCandy tents

Monique: "These are so awesome! One tent looks like an open book, the other like a piece of melon. Super creative. If we were to camp one day, then in a FieldCandy tent. It wouldn't look out of place as artwork in our garden either."
