Summertime style
Berluti offers a capsule collection that pays homage to the sunny days ahead relaxing by the blue waters of a swimming pool on the French Riviera. The collection features a seaside-ready wardrobe including an oversized, lightweight tote bag with an overblown all-over jacquard Scritto motif. The material easily withstands water and dries quickly.
Women power
Here in time for the live-action remake of The Little Mermaid is the Disney×Pandora The Little Mermaid collection “Journey Beyond the Sea”. The jewellery captures the message of the movie, which is all about championing female empowerment and independence.
The seven-piece collection includes the 14K gold-plated Seashell Stud Earrings ($149), detailed with realistic grooved lines and set with a luminous white lacquered artificial pearl at the centre, and the 14K gold-plated Shell Dangle Charm ($149), engraved with the message “My voice is a treasure” on the spiral.
Time to smell the roses
Back by popular demand, Rose Revival returns with an array of beauty products and scents, giving lots of options for personal expression. This beloved fragrance was launched 10 years ago by & Other Stories. Its rich character of pressed pink rose petals in an old cedar chest made an impact when it first appeared, elevating it to a true customer favourite status before it left the bath and body selection in order to make room for new additions. Over the years, devoted fans of this iconic scent have continuously reached out, asking for its comeback. The scent opens with a fresh sparkling note of green pear enveloped by exquisite rose absolute and magnolia and combined with a dry note of cedarwood.

May the Force 10 be with you
Created in 1966, the Force 10 collection is the ultimate embodiment of sport and unisex jewellery. Fred teams up with the famous French Open, also known as the Roland-Garros Tournament. Fred was inspired by the essence of the competition such as the colours of the terracotta of the clay, the white of the lines that crisscross the courts, and the profusion of hats in the stadium’s stands and walkways. These elements are transferred onto the new designs and the look is elevated with a pavé of 64 white and yellow diamonds, citrines, yellow sapphires and spessartite garnets.
Sustainable, practical footwear
Chloé and Teva have joined forces to create a line of sandals that combine lightweight construction with dynamic design elements. Drawing inspiration from their respective rich heritages, the two brands have collaborated to design this unique collection.
Chloé, founded by Gaby Aghion in 1952, introduced luxury ready-to-wear garments that emphasised comfort and femininity. Teva, on the other hand, emerged in 1984 out of necessity — when a resourceful river guide in Colorado ingeniously secured two Velcro watchbands to a pair of old flip-flops to prevent them from floating downstream.
The Chloé × Teva collection takes Teva’s iconic silhouettes, namely the Hurricane XLT2 and Hurricane XLT2 Ampsole, and reimagines them with a blend of classic and playful recycled straps adorned with the Chloé logo. The sandals retain their lower-impact features, including a 50% recycled rubber outsole, ensuring sustainability without compromising on performance.
