Reviews
"It's hard to believe that Ben Gorham founded Byredo fewer than two decades ago, in 2006. What began as a collection of highly sought-after fragrances created by the former basketball player has since expanded into a covetable range of home goods, makeup, and more. The brand achieved cult-favorite status seemingly overnight, ushering in a new era of modern luxury. Byredo, a dictionary-style volume, revisits the global brand's most-loved products and collaborations with talents like Virgil Abloh and Travis Scott, weaving a rich tapestry of memories along the way. Featuring imagery by top fashion photographers, the inventive tome channels the sense of intimate luxury that's become the brand's personal signature." -V MAGAZINE
