In our weekly series, we bring you the latest luxury news from around the world. This week’s highlights: Amanvari opens in Mexico, Miu Miu’s Bubble Shoe, Montblanc’s Fall/Winter 2026 collection
Sunreef and Brabus team up
Brabus, known for turning luxe cars from Lamborghini to Bentley into absurd, beastly powerhouses, has teamed up with the folks at Sunreef on a new 55-foot catamaran. Marking the first collaboration from the two companies, the Brabus Ultima 55 is a bit of a two-for-one experience on the water: It offers up the space and stability of a multihull combined with the agility of a monohull yacht. The new cat does all this without sacrificing on looks, with plenty of carbon-fibre details to be found over its svelte profile from the front and rear wings to trims found both port and starboard. The aft deck is home to lateral folding platforms, which increase the beam from 5.61 to 7.59 metres for more space in the stern. You’ll also find large sunpads onboard, which can be folded up if needed, alongside a retractable carbon-fibre dining table, a grill, a wet bar and another larger sunpad at the bow.
The Moncler CityTrek
Look good and feel good in Moncler’s CityTrek, its latest pair of sneakers guided by an enduring spirit of the outdoors. Made with a high-performance cushioned midsole and Vibram® waffle outsole, the CityTrek is designed to provide lasting comfort through the day, without sacrificing good looks and a tailored fit.
Amanvari opens in Mexico
Amanvari, the brand’s newest coastal retreat, is now open in Baja California, Mexico. Designed by Elastic Architects, with initial contribution from Heah & Co., Amanvari introduces 18 casitas and a collection of branded residences to the Costa Palmas premium master-planned community located on the East Cape. Boasting a unique proposition of desert, gulf, and sea, the resort will envelop guests in sweeping views of the Sea of Cortéz as well as the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.
Montblanc unveils its Fall/Winter 2026 collection
Designed under the artistic eye of Marco Tomasetta, Montblanc’s latest FW26 collection embraces “strength in softness”, uniting the spirit of the desk with fine leather craftsmanship. Featuring shades of nature-inspired colours, the collection distills practicality and understated elegance into a series of carrying essentials. Highlights include the re-emergence of the Writing Traveler Briefcase, and the Technical Fabric line, presented in the form of a Backpack, Crossbody and Belt Bag.
The Bubble Shoe
Bringing back the Bubble Shoe of the early 2000s, Miu Miu’s elevated iconic sneaker might be its next big thing. Retaining the same silhouette of its past, the shoe is introduced with a softer, deconstructed build, crafted in leather, suede and a light padding for comfort. Innovative technology has also made the signature sole a lot lighter and more flexible.
Club Med’s first Asian resort is closing for renovations
Club Med Cherating, a unique jungle playground that’s been winning hearts since 1979, is closing for major renovations this 11 October 2026. To reopen sometime in 2027, the resort will offer new experiences such as guided nature tails, cliffside climbing and the farm-to-table Rembulan Gourmet Club. Guests visiting before the hiatus can check out its weekly street markets, memory walls and charity auctions for property memorabilia, happening from mid-August till 8 October 2026.
