2. In the fold
BAINA, known for its modern, season-less towelling inspired by fine art and architecture, launches UMBRA—a limited-edition collaboration with Estudio Persona. The collection draws on the interplay of light and shadow, reflecting Estudio Persona’s bold, minimalist design philosophy. Crafted from organic cotton velour in a tonal palette of Stone, Sand, Rust, and Bark, the four-piece set includes the Madre Bath Sheet, Grande Bath Towel, Rey Hand Towel, and Sacramento Bath Mat.
3. Charmed, I’m sure
Meadowlark’s latest charm collection draws inspiration from sea creatures, fruits, and symbols of luck, alongside reimagined brand icons. The collection features detailed designs like a crab, lobster, shark, lemon, cherry, and dice, reflecting whimsy and symbolism. A new swivel necklace is designed to hold up to three charms, enhancing personal expression. Crafted in 9ct gold, 23kt gold-plated sterling silver, and sterling silver, these charms offer endless combinations, celebrating Meadowlark’s 18-year legacy in charm design and the resurgence of this playful, narrative-driven jewellery trend.
