How can you pass up these Lanvin trainers ahead of your desert getaway to the outer reaches of Africa, where only the blue skies get lost in the sea and where only the call of birds will lure you out of your daydreams?

In the distance, you spot an oasis: the ideal place for a siesta in the shade of a braided straw hat.

Free-spirited, Lanvin fulfils the desire for escape through the elegance and modernity which define this selection of timeless pieces designed by Lucas Ossendrijver.

From relaxed to refined with the PARISIS collection in supple, finely grained métis leather, which represents the essence of Longchamp‘s traditional know-how. The line’s new vertical tote bag makes an elegant statement in classic black or mocha with minimal yet stylish detailing: flawless stitching, an engraved nickel-finish snap fastener and a discreetly embossed Longchamp signature. The bag’s pared-down exterior conceals a wealth of practical details inside, including generous zippered pockets, a smartphone pocket and a key attachment.

The CAVALIER line, distinguished by its contemporary shapes and used-look cowhide leather, celebrates Spring 2013 with a vibrant pop of colour, adding upbeat orange to existing black and mocha. New on-trend styles include a messenger and a reporter bag, both embossed with the outsize block letter Longchamp logo that is a feature of this young, fashion-forward collection.

Last but not least, the KUDU line, a favourite of the fashion pack, is enriched with a new taupe shade. The cool grey-toned beige ideally complements the vintage-look kudu leather, whose naturally distressed, worn-in appearance adds to the relaxed and rugged appeal of this stylish city line.

Fashion and function: a dual focus for Spring 2013’s desirable new additions to the Longchamp men’s leather goods collection.

Paris Gallery, the leading luxury retailer in the region, announced the launch of the new eau de parfum pour homme from M.Micallef; the ROYAL VINTAGE. M.Micallef is renowned for their deluxe fragrances presented in marvellous hand-decorated bottles and is exclusively available at Paris Gallery stores across the UAE.

Part of the EXCLUSIF collection which gathers exceptional fragrances for men and women, ROYAL VINTAGE offers a very subtle fragrance: opening on tonic scents of pink berries and bergamot, the assertive notes of cypress and patchouli are lightened by the softness of leather and musk notes. ROYAL VINTAGE is a perfume for men with timeless sophisticated elegance.

“The design of the ROYAL VINTAGE bottle was inspired by this atypical fragrance in our collection. Combining tonic and warm olfactive notes, this perfume makes me think of a run in a vintage car, adorned with gleaming chrome and leather seats, and the leather scent mingled with the smell of cypress avenues,” says Martine Micallef.

In the authentic French tradition of crafts and luxury, the M.Micallef Company gives priority to qualitative and natural ingredients in its fragrances and magnifies each bottle in its art studio. The glass bottle of ROYAL VINTAGE is covered with a chrome colour metallization with a black ring hand affixed in the middle and is wearing a matte black metal cap.

Bentley and Breitling have once again combined British chic and Swiss horological excellence to create a limited edition, ultra-sporty Bentley Light Body Midnight Carbon chronograph.

The originality and strength of the design are accentuated by the hands and hour-markers, also clad in matt black and enhanced by a luminescent coating ensuring optimal readability in the dark. The midnight black rubber strap is distinguished by its central raised motif echoing that of the knurled bezel – a refined nod to the famous radiator grilles gracing the prow of a Bentley.

The watch is limited to only 1,000 pieces worldwide, the unrivalled performance of this elegant and reliable watch is powered by a self-winding chronograph movement chronometer. Further information can be found at http://www.breitlingforbentley.com.

Discerning Middle East customers understand luxury and there is a great demand for bespoke and limited edition products.
