Poppy Delevingne Shares Her Go-To Picks
We sat down with multi-hyphenate Londoner, Poppy Delevingne, to talk all things party season, her and her sisters’ pioneering Prosecco brand, Della Vite, and, of course, gifting.
FROM MODELLING TO PROSECCO-MAKING, WHAT DOES YOUR EVERYDAY LOOK LIKE AT THE MOMENT?
To be honest, slightly all over the place. No day is ever the same and truly I enjoy the chaos. I never know what a new day will bring.
POPPY-APPROVED PICKS
SPEAKING OF PROSECCO-MAKING, TELL US ABOUT DELLA VITE. WHY PROSECCO? WHY DELLA VITE?
As sisters, we always wanted to do something together. We sat down and worked out what we were collectively good at - drinking Prosecco! It’s always been a part of our family traditions. From holidays to Sunday lunches, there’s always a bottle of Prosecco on the table. We thought there was a huge gap in the market for a high-quality, exceptional tasting Prosecco and wanted to do something about it. We went to the wine producing experts of Valdobbiadene in Italy and that’s where Della Vite was born. Our surname in French means ‘of the vine’, so we wanted the brand name to mean the same in Italian, ‘Della Vite’.
ARE YOU HOSTING THIS FESTIVE SEASON? IF SO, WHAT IS YOUR GO-TO PROSECCO PARTY TIP?
Yes! I love going all out at Christmas. My biggest tip is to be as vibrant and spontaneous as possible. Hosting should be fun and rule-free. Shoes off by the door and hopefully some dancing on tables to end the night. A brightly coloured tablecloth, beautiful plates and linens, lamp light only with an abundance of candles, and various types of mismatched glassware. There's always a touch of gold with a sparkly reindeer or mad decorations. The more creative, the more bonkers, the better.
IS THERE ANYONE YOU ARE ESPECIALLY NERVOUS ABOUT GIFTING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON? WHAT ARE YOUR CAN’T-GO-WRONG PICKS FROM THE GO-TO (TO GIVE OR RECEIVE)?
For anyone you’re nervous about gifting, I’d say you can never go wrong with a beautiful coffee table book. There’s a Picasso one that I’ve got my eye on. I’m also obsessed with the Christmas ornaments, especially the Spicy Margarita for the best friend who drinks spicy margaritas for breakfast. The Personalised Weekend Bag works for both men & women. It’s super chic & reminds people to get away, hopefully where the sun is shining.
And for me, the Gold Diamond Letter Ring with a P (obviously) because Father Christmas knows I’ve been a good girl this year…
