Welcome to TGP Tidbits where we round up the happenings and our musings of the design industry each week. This week we take a look at Kathy Hilton’s Chairish Tag Sale, London’s Focus/25, and Tuckernuck’s New York boutique. Written by Natalie Aldridge.
Kathy Hilton’s Chairish Tag Sale
Kathy Hilton, forever our favorite Real Housewives of Beverly Hills personality and a constant arbiter of style and humor, is inviting us all into her world with a Chairish Tag Sale launching September 23rd! True to Kathy form, it is not your average clear-out but a treasure hunt sprinkled with Hilton magic.
From her homes in Bel Air, New York, and Southampton come an irresistible array of finds: a vintage Waldorf Astoria letter box begging for pride of place in an Old Hollywood foyer, elegant furnishings with more stories than a Bravo reunion, and even whimsical holiday décor Kathy crafted herself. Each piece is touched with her signature blend of glamour and wit, and proceeds benefit causes close to her heart, including Camp Cocker Rescue and Yogi’s House.
Best of all, it is entirely online so there is no need to sweet-talk your way past the Bel Air gates to score a gem. Consider it the ultimate tag sale, part celebrity provenance, part stylish whimsy, and all the sparkle you would expect from Kathy. In short, it is shopping with a sense of humor, heart, and plenty of Hilton fabulousness. Mark your calendar!
Inside Tuckernuck’s New York Boutique
Not long ago, we were thrilled to share the exciting news that one of our favorite brands, Tuckernuck, had arrived in New York with a new boutique. Now, the beloved lifestyle label has truly made itself at home on the Upper East Side, unveiling its flagship at 1121 Madison Avenue, and we’re giving you a first look inside.

More than just a shop, Tuckernuck’s Madison Avenue address reimagines the idea of a retail experience. Created in collaboration with interior designer CeCe Barfield Thompson and architect Wendy Burns, the boutique unfolds like a beautifully layered townhouse, each room with its own purpose and personality. Think of it as stepping into an elegant friend’s home, one with enviable taste, impeccable tailoring, and the perfect hostess gift always at the ready.
Guests are welcomed through the Foyer, an entry that immediately transports you away from the bustle of Madison Avenue. The Front Parlor is the heart of the brand, featuring seasonal arrivals and chic staples for every occasion, from fall galas to charitable luncheons. In the Family Room, shoppers can linger while they try on shoes, peruse handbags, and accessories in a space designed to be lived in. For those on the hunt for the perfect present, the Scullery doubles as a gifting suite, a one-stop destination for chic hostess tokens. We’re particularly excited for this!
Tuckernuck Home shines in the Conservatory, inspired by one of the founders’ own dining rooms and offering not only tabletop treasures but also a space for private events. Rounding out the journey, the Boudoir holds the wardrobe essentials like cashmere, denim, and timeless staples.
With monogramming, concierge gifting, and a level of personalized service that feels refreshingly old school, Tuckernuck’s flagship blends retail and hospitality in a way that feels both elevated and inviting. In short, it is as polished and effortless as the brand itself, and just another reason we love calling it one of our favorites. And make sure to check out the fall Tuckernuck collection online!
London’s Focus/25
This September, the international design calendar turns its gaze to London as Focus/25 on Design returns to Design Centre, Chelsea Harbour, from September 15th to 19th.

With more than 135 showrooms and pop-up House Guests, Focus/25 brings together an extraordinary mix of established brands, talented makers, and emerging innovators. Visitors can expect to discover new collections that set the tone for the year ahead. Think jewel-toned palettes and warm earth hues, metallics and minerals, modern takes on 1970s pattern and texture, and a continued emphasis on craftsmanship, which we so love.
An unparalleled program of talks, tours, and masterclasses enriches the experience, with leading designers and thought leaders offering insight into the ideas shaping the future of interiors. For designers, architects, and enthusiasts alike, it is an essential moment for inspiration, connection, and discovery.
And the creativity extends beyond the week itself. From September 22nd to October 16th October, Focus/25: The Longer View, will see many pop-ups remain a bit longer at the Chelsea Design Centre for continued design conversation and inspiration.
Elegant, expansive, and effortlessly international, Focus/25 is a celebration of creative excellence and an essential stop for anyone passionate about design. Make to sure to plan your visit and register here!
