Outside five connecting shophouses and its white, balconied façade, flags spangled with the brand's LV logo flutter alongside the glow of an elegantly lit Louis Vuitton Hotel Bangkok sign.

» It's something as covetable as a Murakami Speedy handbag or Louis Vuitton Nike Air Force sneakers. Happening from May 8-10, Gaggan at Louis Vuitton has transformed into an exclusive three-day pop-up dining experience where both chef Gaggan Anand and chef Yosuke Suga will be collaborating to whip up a pristine yet playful tasting menu dinner at the fashion brand's fine-dining establishment.
Bangkok Noi bling

» There's no doubt that Thai wooden houses possess a quaint and charming character you'd be hard-pressed to replicate elsewhere. Therefore, it's somewhat aggravating that they don't enjoy the same fawning over that neoclassical or colonial buildings in Bangkok do when it comes to preservation. Rickety, stilt wooden houses alongside the river may seem common and "normal" for the average Thai, but Bangkok-based Filipina entrepreneur Irma Go has always loved these structures, especially while taking visiting family and friends on boat tours on the sleepy canals of Bangkok.
No stopping the spectacular

» As the Covid-19 pandemic is easing in some places around the world, one city that was among the hardest hit last year is emerging from the desolation in a glittering manner. Earlier this month, Italian jeweller Bvlgari unveiled their latest high jewellery collection Magnifica in Milan, in a spectacular manner nothing short of high-octane lavishness.
An urban oasis

» The thing about the Sretsis fashion brand is that they are not only lauded for their clothes but also for magnificent retail spaces that make a trip to their stores a dreamy visit to the galaxy of Victorian fairy tales, among other fanciful backdrops. As the brand's universe has creatively widened in the past few years, the name has grown to encompass food and beverage (a fine tea parlour), home décor (wallpaper with fantastical beasts) and dining ware (ceramic unicorn candle holders). Earlier this month, the three Sukhahuta sisters unveiled a home -- completely fashioned in the Sretsis style -- for anyone who wants to live in the whimsical flair the brand is so well known for.
Beyond utility

» It was a mixed blessing for Norse Republics when they first added the Swiss premium furniture brand, Vitra, to their roster of high-end, design-savvy furnishings back in February. The global pandemic of Covid-19 meant that the official launch to introduce the brand would have to be postponed, while importing was also met with delays due to hindered cargo transportation. However, there couldn't have been a better time for Vitra to announce itself in Thailand, what with working spaces and workflow drastically changing in these past few months.

» Luggage is a product that must be lasting, but who's to say it shouldn't be injected with some fun and fashion? That's what creative director Victor Sanz brought along with him when he joined the international house of travel, business and lifestyle accessories, Tumi, in 2003.
Love, always

» Flowers are always a nice gesture, but ones that can last forever are sure to give you a better run for your money. Why not gift mum with some jewellery pieces that come with the floral sentiment? Flowery assortments from Swarovski come in contemporary designs which feature a timeless black and white colour combo. They've also got a pearl option where they can be removed from the earring to channel the asymmetrical earring trend. If you want real diamonds, Tilda's Mother's Day collection features florals which also hold symbolic meaning through eight flower petals. Eight represents infinity, or infinite love in Western culture, while signifying wealth, or infinite fortune in Chinese culture. Otherwise, seal your love with hearts from Pandora which also comes in rose or golden hues this season. Their iconic logo and heart-shaped charms come in sweet colours that will blend right in with your staple silver set, while there are also letter charms to spell out your appreciation for mum.
