From Carlos Gil’s Spring-Summer 2025 line to Longchamp’s Maxi bags, Portugal Jewels, Dior, and more!
Fantasy
Portuguese designer Carlos Gil presents his new spring-summer 2025 collection, which seamlessly combines tradition and modernity.
The Fantasy collection was created in collaboration with three Indian artisans who specialise in bead embroidery and whose expertise adds a unique touch to the pieces.
Traditional embroidery is combined with innovative 3D motifs, resulting in pieces with a variety of vibrant prints, such as seahorses, penguins, Dalmatians or dolphins, as well as the cherry, the symbol of Fundão, the designer’s hometown.
Maxi trend
Maxi bags are all the rage at the moment and Longchamp is launching a series of models to meet today’s demands.
The emblematic Le Roseau model is one of the highlights. With an elegant and timeless style, the bag has a spacious inner compartment with enough room to store a laptop. Adapting to any occasion, this versatile model stands out for its ability to keep up with today’s urban and dynamic lifestyle.
Portuguese heart
Portuguese jewellery brand Portugal Jewels introduces its latest Melting Heart collection, designed to celebrate the most precious relationships.
Inspired by the traditional Coração de Viana design, but with a modern aesthetic, the new pieces (earrings and necklace) are handcrafted with the “molten metal” look, symbolising passion and true love, and come in two versions: silver and gold-plated silver.
Perfect luggage
Always aware of the new needs that arise, Samsonite presents a range of products that are ideal to support your travels, be it to new destinations, professional challenges or personal aspirations.
The Proxis model is one of the highlights. The cabin luggage, produced in Europe with Roxkin™ (an exclusive lightweight and resistant multi-layer material developed by Samsonite), has four double wheels and a combination lock with integrated TSA lock.
Black mood
Black is one of the most iconic colours in the fashion world and Birkenstock has a series of pieces in this colour for the autumn-winter 2024/25 collection, perfect for any look.
An example of this are the famous Boston clogs, a true classic from the German brand. This model, which can be worn all year round, features an additional layer of foam and a soft insole for comfort. The suede upper wrap hugs the foot like a second skin.
Oriental writing art
Montblanc’s new Meisterstück collection pays homage to traditional Chinese crafts, celebrating the oriental writing art of calligraphy.
The Meisterstück Calligraphy Solitaire Celadon Dégradé pen features Montblanc’s curved nib, suitable for complex Chinese, Japanese and Korean calligraphy, as well as for sketches and drawings.
Depending on the angle of the curved nib on the paper, you can achieve broad horizontal lines and thin vertical lines. By turning the nib round, you can get a fine line suitable for detailed drawings.
Practical but sophisticated
The Dior Summer 2025 collection introduces the latest essential accessory for everyday life: the Normandie bag.
With rounded hand straps and an adjustable shoulder strap, this new piece from the maison combines style, elegance and practicality.
Its main compartment includes a zip pocket and several flat pockets to protect your belongings. Made from grained leather, the Normandie bag is available in black, beige or brown.
Chinese tradition
The Chinese New Year is the motto for the release of the Luminor Perpetual Calendar PAM01688 by Panerai.
Limited to 100 pieces, it pays tribute to Chinese tradition, combining the elegance of a burgundy dial with the preciousness of Panerai Goldtech™.
Adorned with the lucky number 88 in Chinese tradition, in an ode to abundance and the arrival of prosperous years, the dial is personalised with Chinese characters, the brand’s first model with this distinctive feature.
