In our weekly series, we bring you the latest in luxury news around the world. This week’s highlights: Bottega Veneta and Flos create something special, Tod’s pre-spring women’s collection, and Loro Piana introduces new costume jewellery
The world’s first Bugatti Home boutique
Just opened at The Dubai Mall Zabeel, the world’s first Bugatti Home boutique has been brought to the UAE by Luxury Living Group and exclusive retailer The Mattress Store. Embodying the Bugatti way of living in one place, the store features a curated collection of the brand’s signature furniture pieces. That includes the Type_3 armchair, a seamless blend of ’70s nostalgia and modern comfort; hand-tufted rugs; and the imposing Ettore Grand Bureau desk.
Bentley and Picante launch a capsule collection
In a joint partnership between Bentley Motors and London-based fashion and lifestyle brand, Picante, an exclusive capsule collection has been launched. The Open Road Collection merges Bentley’s rich heritage with Picante’s modern design ethos, celebrating the luxury of travel and spontaneity. It features seven beautiful pieces—or wearable souvenirs, if you will—that include a Glenmerino lambswool knit sweater and leather bomber jacket, which is limited to only 20 pieces. Evoking the spirit of a grandfather’s well-worn jacket, each jacket is intended to be passed down through generations, embarking on new journeys and evolving over time.
Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic
If you have been inspired by Novak Djokovic’s record-breaking achievements, you’re not the only one. Hublot, for one, has designed a watch to capture Djokovic’s agility on the court, highlighting its own approach to sustainable innovation along the way. The Big Bang Unico Novak Djokovic, an extraordinary timepiece inspired by strength and a yearning for greatness, is light on the wrist yet hardy as any world champion can be. Made from a composite of Head rackets and Lacoste polos used by Djokovic during his record-breaking 2023 season, the watch also features tempered Gorilla glass and the Unico manufacture chronograph movement in brass. Limited to 100 pieces, the watch comes in four straps, each to suit a different style and mood.
Bottega Veneta and Flos create something special
Gino Sarfatti’s Model 600 Lamp is a favourite for discerning fans of design. Designed by one of the most prolific lighting designers of the post-war period, it was unveiled at the Triennial in 1968, becoming a covetable collectible that’s famous for its stitched leather base and more. In its return as a special edition, the lamp’s now updated with the latest LED technology and Bottega Veneta’s signature Infilato and Foulard Intrecciato techniques, adding a sort of grown-up elegance to the home. Available in two sizes at a starting price of €1,200, only at Flos.com, Flos DOS in Milan, Paris, Soho and Bottega Veneta stores.
Loro Piana introduces new costume jewellery
This autumn/winter 2024-2025, Loro Piana is presenting sophistication in the form of costume jewellery, effortlessly combining heritage with modernity. The Duo line enhances silhouettes with an intricate play between leather, satin and metal, offering distinct looks in black, champagne and iconic Deep Kummel, Loro Piana’s signature colour.
Tod’s pre-spring women’s collection
This season, Tod’s creative director Matteo Tamburini continues exploring the Italian lifestyle with a contemporary collection focused on the quality of materials and craftsmanship. Centred on the codes of formal style, where modernity and tradition are joined at the hip, he’s created a timeless collection of essentials to be worn and lived in. Leather, a Tod’s signature, becomes fabric in pieces like the overshirt in soft Pashmy suede (suede that feels like cashmere), and the oversized coat in bonded canvas with thermo-sealing.
