Kinfolk has become so familiar that it’s hard to imagine just how radical its minimal, proto-mindfulness, clean lines and clean living aesthetic was when it first appeared back in 2011.
The topic of finances may seem anxiety-inducing or too taboo to discuss over dinner, but for the team at Kinfolk it’s worth sitting with the discomfort. By opening up about ‘one of the few universal human experiences’ for their Winter 2025 issue, they aim to shed light on how money ‘exists emotionally in our lives, shaping how we live and who we become.’ Inside, author of ‘We Need to Talk About Money’, Otegha Uwagba, discusses how her book aims to foster an open dialogue about her own previous mistakes and guilty feelings around finances, and how to shift this into a relationship that is both educated and autonomous. You’ll also find an interview with GiveWell’s CEO, Elie Hassenfeld, about how his organisation provides transparency to donors when finding the most impactful charities to donate to and the importance of deep-diving into charities’ data to ensure every dollar leads to a direct improvement to people’s lives. Plus, cosy pieces on festive tipples containing notes of orange peel, recipe cards demonstrating how to make Earl Grey infused London Fog Brownies, salted chocolate mousse cake and more indulgent dishes from Sophie Wyburd’s winter catalogue.
