🗞️ Luxury News 🗞️

LVMH Scores Gold in Luxury Sports Fusion! (Luxury Sports)

LVMH, our beloved purveyor of all things luxe, has just served an ace in the world of sports! Moët champagne flowing like victory tears and Louis Vuitton trunks cradling Olympic medals. LVMH isn't just dipping its Berluti-clad toes into the Olympic pool - they've dived in with a $160 million sponsorship splash! That's nearly 1% of their 2023 profits. And let's not forget the fashion parade! From Naomi Osaka to Victor Wembanyama, athletes are strutting their stuff in designer duds faster than you can say "photo finish." But here's the real gold medal moment - LVMH is bringing "inclusivity with exclusivity" to the luxury game. It's like they've opened the VIP section to anyone with Olympic-sized dreams (and wallets to match)! Canary suddenly feels the need to hit the gym... in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton, of course.

H&M's Spicy Indian Affair with Anamika Khanna! (Fashion)

H&M, our beloved purveyor of fast fashion, is taking a luxurious detour to the streets of Kolkata! Anamika Khanna, the crème de la crème of Indian design, bringing her Bollywood-worthy glamour to H&M's racks. It's like finding a Taj Mahal in your neighborhood mall. This isn't just any old collab - it's H&M's 20th anniversary of designer partnerships. From Karl Lagerfeld to Alexander Wang, they've been mixing high and low longer than some of us have been shopping! And let's not forget the Indian connection. H&M's been spicing up the subcontinent for nearly a decade, darlings. With 62 stores sprinkled across India like saffron in a biryani, they're clearly in it for the long haul. Need to brush up on Bollywood dance moves. After all, one must always be ready for an impromptu fashion show... or a flash mob!

Ford's Mustang and Bronco Go Pedal-Powered! (Cars)

Canary has just caught wind of the most electrifying news since the invention of the heated steering wheel. Ford, the purveyor of American muscle, is taking a detour into the world of e-bikes! A Mustang you can pedal and a Bronco that fits in your elevator. It's like finding a couture gown at a bicycle shop. We're talking 750-watt motors that'll have you zipping around at 28 mph for 60 miles. It's like having a sports car in your bike lane! And the prices? The Bronco e-bike starts at a cool $4,500, while the Mustang version gallops in at $4,000. For an extra $390, you can even color-coordinate with your full-size Ford! But Ford isn't the only luxury marque pedaling into this territory. McLaren, Lotus, and even Rivian are joining the e-bike peloton. It's like Fashion Week for the two-wheel set!

Luxury Boat Market Hits Waters! (Luxury Motors)

The boat market, once as buoyant as a champagne cork, is now going through some rather stormy economic waters! Global boat sales have taken a 9.1% nosedive in the first half of 2024. It's like finding out your superyacht has sprung a leak. But wait, there's a silver lining on this nautical cloud! New boats are making quite the splash, with sales up 5.3%. It seems the fresh and shiny are still catching the eye of our seafaring elite. And for those who prefer their vessels petite and chic, boats under 26 feet are the belle of the ball. They're selling like hotcakes... well, very expensive, floating hotcakes! But here's the real tea: motor yachts are still the queens of the sea. They're outpacing their sailing sisters faster than you can say "anchors aweigh!"

Breitling CEO Georges Kern Is Investing in a Swiss Skin Care Brand! (Watch & Beauty)

Canary’s here, with the juiciest scoop on the latest luxury venture that's about to make waves in the world of high-end skincare. Word on the street is that Breitling's very own Georges Kern has set his sights on a new prize: Soeder, the Swiss skincare brand that's been turning heads with its all-natural, heavenly-scented concoctions. Rumor has it, it all started with a humble hand sanitizer during those dreary pandemic days. Now, Kern's leading a hush-hush funding round to help this boutique brand go global. We're talking 5,000-year-old Babylonian recipes, cold-pressed organic oils, and glass bottles so chic they'll make your marble countertops swoon. With Soeder's new factory up and running, whispers of expansion are in the air. Will we be seeing these luxe lathers in every high-end hotel from Paris to Tokyo? Only time will tell.

Tiffany & Co. and the CFDA’s Talent hunt! (Jewelry)

Prepare to be dazzled! Tiffany & Co. isn’t just about iconic blue boxes; they’re now on a mission to discover the next big name in jewelry design. In a move that’s as brilliant as their stones, Tiffany and the CFDA have cooked up a competition to find America’s most promising jewelry talent. We’re talking a yearlong fellowship at the House of Tiffany and a cool $50K for the lucky winner. Think you have what it takes to sparkle? Applications are open, but hurry, because this diamond opportunity won’t last forever. Canary can’t wait to see who will be the next jewelry sensation to grace the Fifth Avenue flagship. Imagine the prestige! The winner will rub elbows with industry titans like Gabrielle Union and Jason Wu. It’s more than just a competition; it’s a golden ticket to a world of luxury and creativity. So, all you aspiring designers, polish up your portfolios and get ready to shine. The eyes of the fashion world are on you!

💡Luxury Tidbit 💡

Did you know? The Ranch Malibu works on the concept of ‘Spartan Luxury’.

"Spartan luxury" at The Ranch Malibu refers to a minimalist approach to luxury. The retreat emphasizes simplicity and stripping away excess, but without compromising on quality.
Accommodations are luxurious but intentionally understated, focusing on comfort, natural materials, and a calming aesthetic.
There are no televisions, Wi-Fi, or digital distractions in the rooms, encouraging guests to fully disconnect and focus on their wellness journey. The Ranch prioritizes elements that support a restorative experience, such as organic cotton linens, plant-based toiletries, and serene, natural surroundings.

Nutritional Philosophy: The Ranch Malibu’s kitchen serves an entirely plant-based, organic menu, free from caffeine, alcohol, and processed sugars. Meals are designed to be nutrient-dense and low in calories, with daily meals totaling around 1,400 calories.
Despite this, the food is gourmet, showcasing the flavours and textures of seasonal produce.
The retreat’s plant-based cuisine is not only low in calories but is also crafted to include approximately 50-60% carbohydrates, 20-30% fats, and 10-20% proteins, aligning with the nutritional needs of high-performance athletes.

Digital Detox: It is a cornerstone of The Ranch Malibu experience. Guests are encouraged to disconnect from technology completely, which research has shown can lead to improved sleep, reduced stress, and better mental clarity.
The retreat has found that many guests report a significant decrease in stress levels and an increase in mindfulness by the end of their stay. This is supported by the serene environment, which promotes deep relaxation and reconnection with nature.

Holistic Wellness Approach: Beyond physical fitness, The Ranch Malibu emphasizes a holistic approach to wellness, including daily yoga sessions, deep tissue massages, and mindfulness practices.
These activities are designed to complement the physical exertion and support overall mental and emotional well-being.
The Ranch maintains a 30% return guest rate, highlighting the lasting impact of their wellness programs. Many guests report improvements in sleep quality, energy levels, and mental clarity long after leaving the retreat.

Exclusivity and Privacy: The Ranch Malibu is intentionally small and exclusive, accommodating only 19 guests at a time.
This allows for highly personalized attention and a close-knit community feel during the retreat.
With its limited capacity, The Ranch often has a waiting list several months long, particularly for its signature 7-day program, which is booked out well in advance.

The retreat creates a transformative experience that keeps guests coming back for more.
