With a strong Hollywood A-list following, accessory brand owner and designer
Fiona Kotur splits her time between New York and her home in Hong Kong. Kotur handbags and clutches have not only mesmerised the fashion cognoscenti, but also put Hong Kong back on the fashion map.

FAVOURITE HOLIDAY DESTINATION
FK: Norfolk, Connecticut has always been my favourite holiday destination. I’ve been going since I was a little girl. It’s classic rural New England, very low-key and full of colonialstyle houses, and we used to spend our time canoeing, learning to sail and having bonfires at night. In the summer it’s chock full of tiny venues that host brilliant gigs. Now, I take my kids there every summer, and I get to relive my happiest childhood memories.

TREASURED HOTEL OR RESORT
FK: We’ve had some of our very best family holidays at the Andara in Phuket.

MY TRAVEL ATTIRE
FK: Often, I’m travelling with my four sons – so it’s all about comfort and ease! I take a Madeleine Thompson cashmere wrap with me (it doubles as a very cosy blanket).

3 THINGS TO PACK
FK: Travelling without iPads for my sons is a disaster; I find my Tabla tunic provides just the right amount of glamour for any holiday; and I never leave home without a good supply of Emergen-C vitamin supplements.

FAVOURITE SPA FOR SOME ‘ME’ TIME
FK: I have to say that it’s got to be The Mandarin Spa at Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong, because its the only one I’ve actually got a realistic chance of getting to!

MY SIGNATURE SCENT
FK: I’m fond of men’s fragrances, because they tend to be less overpowering. Currently
I’m wearing Vetyver.

MY BEAUTY TIP
FK: I use Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair religiously.

MY TOP PLACE TO DINE
FK: Kai, an amazing Japanese Restaurant in Paris, and also Locanda Verde in New York.

FOOD I CRAVE
FK: I’m a bit of a chocoholic, and Swiss Teuscher chocolate is about as good as it gets.

MUST-HAVE ITEM OF THE SEASON
FK: I just bought a Victoria Beckham evening dress – black with graphic lines and very architectural. It has an open back with a satin lapel, like a man’s black tie jacket. I love it with the deco-inspired Rockefeller Kotur minaudière.

SOMETHING I CAN’T STOP WATCHING
FK: I absolutely love Downton Abbey, particularly Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess.

THE BOOK ON MY BEDSIDE TABLE
FK: I’m currently reading Rules of Civility by Amor Towles – it’s a brilliant novel set in 1920s New York that’s beautifully written and dripping in period glamour, and I’ve just been given Grace Coddington’s new book, so that’s next on my list.
