Paul Smith Loves Barbour
The second collaboration between two storied British names, the Paul Smith Loves Barbour spring/summer 2026 collection has arrived in stores. Blending Paul Smith’s colourful eccentricity with Barbour’s maritime heritage, it channels the spirit of a UK coastal summer – think fish and chip shops, paper-wrapped pies and seaside balloons. Alongside its established line, the collection has expanded into womenswear for the first time.

Amouage
For Omani perfume house Amouage, the journey is as important as the final result, as proven by its limited-edition scent Oud Zuhal. Made using an innovative double infusion process, the GCC-only perfume draws inspiration from the ancient art of astronomy. Named for the Arabic word for Saturn, the fragrance features sandalwood infused with frankincense, cardamom and oud chips.

Schiaparelli
With its signature fusion of fashion and surrealism, the French house of Schiaparelli once again adorns its bags with jewelled body parts. Most striking on the Secret bag – in both hard-sided and woven leather versions – gilt metallic features stand in bold relief against the surface. An ear, eye and nose appear as sculptural hardware, joined by a keyhole and a key, lending a surrealist twist to the everyday.

Hermès
The house has unveiled the Hermès Turntable for spring/summer 2026. A reimagining of home audio, it pairs a clear lid and mirror-polished chrome with softly curved corners and calfskin trim. Available in black, limoncello, natural pop or orange juice, it delivers sharp and contemporary styling. The turntable’s chrome platter is engraved, while the pickup arm features clou de selle detailing, anchoring it firmly in the Hermès universe.
