dunhill presents the Varnacular capsule – an exclusive collection for the Middle East, shaped by the spirit of refined generosity.
Inspired by archival and arabesque patterns, each piece brings together the House’s heritage of British craftsmanship with a specially crafted palette and materiality. Green, long considered a symbol of life, renewal and protection, appears throughout the capsule in tones of racing, malachite and lacquered depth; white and silver lend clarity and light. The result is a considered selection of exceptionally rare accessories created to be gifted and cherished long after the month concludes.
The capsule is defined by a suite of rare objects crafted with meticulous skill. The geometric pattern malachite cufflinks reinterpret a classical motif with contemporary precision: polished surfaces echo the natural striation of malachite, a precious green mineral. Paired with the geometric pattern Sentryman ballpoint, featuring the same deep green detailing, the two pieces create an elegant dialogue between jewellery and writing instrument, objects of personal expression elevated through material and form.
Completing this thread of green-toned craftsmanship is the Compendium malachite Turbo lighter with scent stone. A subtle nod to the ritual gestures of Bakhoor and Attar, it offers both utility and ceremony. The malachite inlay provides visual depth, while the engineering of the Turbo mechanism speaks to the House’s century-long expertise in lighter-making, stemming from the iconic 1920s Unique Sports piece, the first one-handed lighter. As with all dunhill creations, performance is matched with aesthetic clarity, resulting in a piece as satisfying to use as it is to hold.
For the cigar aficionado, the capsule includes the goatskin duo cigar case, offered in racing green. Each piece is wet-moulded by Spanish craftsmen over a wooden form, using vegetable-tanned goatskin chosen for its ability to take on and retain a precise, sculptural shape. Designed to hold two cigars, whether Corona or Robusto, it develops a rich patina over time, its sleeve finished with an embossed dunhill Cypher. A discreet companion for travel or ritual, it reflects the value of traditional techniques carried out with calm, assured precision.
Each item in this curated collection has been selected for its enduring character, pieces designed not only for the season, but for the years that follow. Whether exchanged as a gesture of appreciation or chosen for one’s own rituals, they reflect a certain dunhillian belief that the most meaningful gifts are those crafted with permanence for the appropriate purpose and occasion.
