These Unique Louis Vuitton Bags Were Inspired By One&Only’s Global Resort Destinations

For many well-heeled travelers, One&Only is shorthand for complete and total escape. The company’s oceanfront resorts from Mexico to the Maldives are the kind of pampering getaways most of us spent lockdown fantasizing about. While jetting off to a One&Only property is still a bit complicated, the ever-thoughtful hosts are offering another one-of-a-kind delight that doesn’t require a passport: a collection of vintage Louis Vuitton bags custom-embroidered to celebrate each of One&Only’s destinations.

The company, no stranger to the fashion set, having partnered with the likes of Christian Louboutin and Missoni in the past, tapped Jonathan Riss of Jay Ahr to bring the project to life. Riss’s Paris-based brand specializes in haute embroidery—think Birkins awash in bandana prints—and is a hot commodity among collectors with a taste for eclectic luxuries. As Philippe Zuber, COO of One&Only’s parent company, says: “Fashion is an intrinsic part of our guests’ lives. Collaborating with Jonathan Riss for Jay Ahr allows us to create something truly bespoke for our guests that inspires dreams of travel.”

These bags are far from your standard hotel souvenir. The collection is comprised entirely of vintage Louis Vuitton Keepalls (the brand’s most timeless, genderless duffle bag) that have been embellished with intricately embroidered designs evocative of One&Only’s ten destinations. There are two different designs for each locale: one riffing on the national flag and another, more abstract representation of the nation’s culture. Each is one-of-a-kind, and sure to be snapped up fast by jet-setters and fashion collectors alike. But no worries if you can’t snag one in-person: they can be purchased by emailing neoboutique@oneandonlyresorts.com.

Dari Pakaian, Louis Vuitton Kini Buka Restoran Pertama di Osaka Jepang : Okezone Lifestyle

BRAND fashion ternama Louis Vuitton, akhirya membuka kafe dan restoran pertama mereka. Rencana pembukaan kafe ini, memang sudah direcanakan sejak tahun lalu.

Cafe Le Café V and Sugalabo V ini pun dibangun di Osaka Jepang. Restoran ini menyajikan makanan-makanan enak dari koki peraih penghargaan Michelin Star, Joël Robuchon. Kafe ini berlokasi di lantai teratas dari Louis Vuitton Maison Osaka Midosuji.

Karena berada di lantai paling atas, di kafe ini terdapat bagian teras terbuka dimana Anda dapat merasakan suasana outdoor sambil menikmati koleksi koktail mereka. Kafe ini cocok bagi para pengunjung untuk beristirahat setelah lelah berbelanja di toko Louis Vuitton.

Untuk restoran Sugalabo V dibuat dengan konsep sangat eksklusif dan dengan jumlah tempat duduk yang terbatas. Mereka hanya menyajikan makan malam, di bawah komando chef Yosuke Suga, yang belajar di bawah bimbingan legenda kuliner Prancis Joël Robuchon sebagai anak didiknya. Menu di Le Café V mencerminkan latar belakang Suga dalam menyajikan masakan mewah.

Restoran Louis Vuitton ini memiliki dapur terbuka dan dirancang dengan hiasan indah dan kayu hangat, khas LV. Masuk ke ruangannya memiliki ambience seperti masuk ke dalam koper LV. Arsitek Jun Aoki dan Peter Marino merancang interior restoran ini dengan konsep futuristik yang terinspirasi dari kapal kargo tradisional Jepang Higaki-Kaisen.

Louis Vuitton telah bermitra dengan Tokujin Yoshioka, pembuat furnitur rumah mode dan koleksi aksesoris yang terinspirasi dari suatu perjalanan wisata untuk menambahkan detail finishing pada ruangannya. Yoshioka terkenal dengan karya kontemporernya yang terinspirasi dari alam, cocok untuk dekorasi restoran dan kafe baru.

Restoran ini menyajikan makanan fushion antara makanan Jepang dengan makanan Eropa, seperti salad, sandwich, Croque Monsieur dengan keju Raclette dan Abondance serta berbagai hidangan daging sapi Wagyu, ditambah dengan makaroni au gratin dan kepiting yang melengkapi bagian hidangan utama. Untuk appetizer, Anda dapat mencoba Quiche Lorraine atau secangkir sup Consommé yang hangat.

Untuk dessert, mereka memiliki beberapa pilihan makanan manis, seperti Opéra Cake, Fraisier Cake, serta Mille-Feuille dengan bahan vanilla yang bahkan langsung diterbangkan dari Madagaskar.

25 Of Queen Rania’s Best Ever Royal Looks

Since she became queen consort of Jordan aged just 28 in 1999, Queen Rania has been lauded for her royal wardrobe defined by contemporary elegance.

Rania’s closet is predictably overflowing with pieces by the world’s leading fashion houses, but the style-conscious royal reserves space for emerging designers, too. Over the past 20 years, Rania has segued effortlessly from Givenchy, Valentino and Elie Saab to looks from London-based designers including Antonio Berardi, Huishan Zhang and Peter Pilotto. She knows her accessories too: Jordanian-Romanian designer (and Rihanna-collaborator) Amina Muaddi is a current favourite.

As is to be expected from a queen, Kuwait-born Rania’s royal wardrobe has a diplomatic bent. When travelling, she’ll wear pieces that nod to her host country, and she regularly uses her public-facing looks to put Jordanian design in the spotlight. Red, one of three colours on her adopted nation’s flag, is a favourite shade for the humanitarian, who devotes much of her time to championing causes including women’s rights. Plus, as the queen consort of a Muslim country, the mother of three is widely acknowledged as one the world’s foremost modest fashion influencers – her elegant looks always comply with conservative dress codes.

Here, British Vogue takes a closer look at the royal’s style legacy so far.
