Nespresso now caters for latte lovers with the Barista Creations collection – three blends with just the right bitterness, acidity, body, flavours and aromas to be enjoyed with milk. The trio are ideal for everything from the cortado to cappuccino, and can be paired with full cream or plant-based milk alternatives. The aluminum capsules can be recycled, with grounds sent to local farms as compost and metals upcycled. www.nespresso.com
Green with Envy
An expert in Type A Burmese Jadite, Singaporean jewellery designer Choo Yilin debuts collections that are suitable for daily wear, wedding jewellery and as heirlooms. As each series takes a minimum of a year to produce, from concept to end-product, only limited quantities are available. www.chooyilin.com
Sweat Style
Designed for the contemporary woman, the new 32-piece Iris & Ink Activewear balances comfort and style whether outdoors or on the mat. Chic colour-blocking and technical detailing like iridescent tape trims, mesh and perforated inserts are prominent on the tank tops, sports bras, hoodies, leggings and bodysuits, and are composed of high-tech fabrics. www.theoutnet.com
Runaway Fashion
Rimowa debuts four distinct new colours for summer. Coral, hogs the spotlight, and is inspired by Pink Lake in Western Australia. Slate is inspired by the chalky greys of Indonesian mines, and Sage depicts the lushness of England’s Lake District. Saffron is reminiscent of Tuscany’s rolling fields of canola flowers. www.rimowa.com
Keep Afloat
In a major milestone towards its 2030 sustainability goal, Monki has launched its first sustainable swimwear collection made with recycled polyester and polyamide from PET bottles and production waste fabrics. Expect retro vibes with frills, cut-outs and briefs in solids and prints. The sporty designs are perfect for beach and pool parties. www.monki.com
Silk Road
Bulgari’s The Salomé Scarves Collection pays tribute to powerful female heroines, such as Gustav Klimt’s muse or the femme fatales found in Oscar Wilde’s dramas. Recreated by textile designer Orazio Stasi, these wearable works of art combine eastern inspiration and Roman culture with a modern, urban approach, with motifs that allow for endless styling options — although they’d just as well adorn a gallery wall. www.bulgari.com
