Well, zoot alors!

cold feet rejoice.

Oodles of warm cashmere/wool socks from Lisa B. just rolled in. Give all your loved ones warm feet this holiday, and, of course, remember to reward your own chilly tootsies.

Map it.

New to the shop and exclusive to Proper Topper: CHART Metalworks' map cufflinks, bracelets, and key chains. We worked with the designers to pick just the perfect map segments from vintage Washington, D.C. maps and had them set in sterling, pewter, and brass. We currently feature an overview of the city, of Dupont Circle, of Georgetown, and of Capitol Hill, but we're open to suggestions!  Surely someone on your gift list needs a permanent piece of D.C.
