All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.

THE BAG LAUNCH:

Rixo x Dragon Diffusion

RIXO has joined forces with cult accessories label Dragon Diffusion to launch a seven-piece capsule collection of handwoven leather bags and belts, just in time for summer. Rooted in a shared love of vintage, the collaboration blends RIXO’s bohemian spirit with Dragon Diffusion’s mastery of traditional weaving techniques. Look out for timeless shapes in rich, earthy tones – we love the relaxed yet refined Amoria bag and the roomy Lucine basket, perfect for everything from picnics to weekend getaways. Also part of the line-up is the Roxella belt, a 70s-inspired gem based on a vintage find by RIXO Co-Founder Orlagh McCloskey. The collection is available to pre-order from 2nd May and to shop from 12th May.

THE SCENT:

COS Perfumery

SheerLuxe favourite COS has entered the world of fragrance. COS Perfumery is made in Grasse, France, by experts in the art of scent, and carefully crafted with high-quality, natural ingredients for lasting intensity. There are four to choose from: ‘Auburn’ is a rich and refined scent crafted with dark vanilla and woody notes; ‘Mythe’ is complex, blending fresh notes of ginger with green cardamom pods and vetiver; ‘Fleuriste’ is a pure and fragrant floral bouquet, wrapped in a soft musk; and ‘Solaire’ is a delicate composition of olibanum, myrrh and benzoin, offset with bold undertones of cistus and amber.

THE PRE-LOVED DROP:

Alexa Chung x Vinted

Style icon Alexa Chung has teamed up with Vinted to create an exclusive edit of her personal wardrobe, available to UK members from 4th May. The carefully curated drop features pieces from brands including Prada, JW Anderson, Khaite and DÔEN, as well as one-of-a-kind vintage finds. Highlights include a coral 1930s silk dress worn at Paris Fashion Week and an embroidered Miu Miu bralette. Describing the collaboration as part of her evolving style, Alexa says: “These items carry so many memories… but the idea that they can live on in someone else’s wardrobe is very appealing.” With a second drop featuring even more covetable names – think Dior and Loewe – landing in June, consider this your sign to set a reminder.

THE WELLNESS ESSENTIAL:

To My Ships

Until 25th May, Liberty is hosting an installation to mark the launch of To My Ships’ second personal care range. In keeping with the new brand’s primary inspiration (the ancient Greek epic poem The Iliad, from which its name derives), the installation brings elements of Greek antiquity to the store’s atrium. Like its first batch, the range takes a refined, single-scent, unisex approach to personal care. It comprises a roll-on deodorant, spray-on deodorant, hand and body wash and eau de parfum, each containing a meticulously formulated fine fragrance and a high percentage of naturally derived and active ingredients. Following the installation, To My Ships’ products will have a permanent home in Liberty’s Beauty Hall.

THE FASHION SHOW:

Chanel Cruise 2025/26

Taking place along the banks of Lake Como, Chanel’s 2025/26 Cruise show was reminiscent of early-1970s Hollywood glamour. From fresh twists on the iconic tweed co-ord to pastel pink gowns and sequin embellished suits, this collection is testament to Chanel’s cultural relevance within luxury fashion. Stay tuned to see what new creative director Matthieu Blazy has in store for the collections from the autumn.

THE HOTEL:

Orient Express La Minerva

Orient Express La Minerva is now open in Rome. Anchored in history, the hotel is found inside a revived 17th-century palazzo off Piazza Della Minerva 69, just steps from the Pantheon. The design-centred hotel has 93 rooms and 36 suites – each space entirely singular in scale and layout. Like its trains, each room is an homage to the golden age of travel, featuring bespoke bedside trunks, rich wooden detailing reminiscent of the legendary carriages and luxurious bedding crafted by Rivolta Carmignani, the same linens once gracing Orient Express sleeper cars. The hotel follows the recent launch of La Dolce Vita Orient Express through Italy and ahead of the opening of the Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in Venice later this year.

THE HIGH JEWELLERY COLLECTION:

Tiffany & Co.

Tiffany & Co.’s latest high jewellery collection leans into the world beneath the waves. From bold, diamond-embellished ring stacks to sculptural tributes to marine life, the collection includes vibrant coloured stones – most notably Zambian emeralds. Drawing on archival inspiration from Jean Schlumberger, it combines rich heritage design with fantasy.

THE SWIMWEAR:

Hunza G

Hunza G has launched its first-ever gingham collection, introducing a new UPF 50+ seersucker fabric in black, red, and ‘milkshake’ pink. The capsule blends its reworked signature swimwear with swimmable ready-to-wear – think halter dresses, sarongs, and shirt sets designed to take you from beach to bar. Fronted by actress Luna Blaise and shot in Quintana Roo, Mexico, the campaign captures the playful spirit of summer dressing. Quick-drying, lightweight and UV protective, the black colourway has now dropped, with red landing in May and ‘milkshake’ arriving in June exclusively at MYTHERESA.COM

THE INTERIORS COLLECTION:

Highgrove By Sanderson

The new fabric and wallpaper collection has been developed in close collaboration with Highgrove and The King’s Foundation, to help tell the visual story of the King's devotion to restoring, nurturing and transforming the landscape surrounding his private residence over the last 45 years.
