&lt;p&gt;Luxury is usually considered to be only the domain of the affluent, but we feel that everyone can revel in the luxury of having that one unique thing which no one else has. Luxury goods are no longer unreachable objects, at least in terms of money. It is, but, a quest of finding that one perfectly made handbag, haute dress, fine wine or brilliant jewel, that you wouldn&amp;#39;t find anywhere else.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;India is fast becoming a destination for luxury. The world is looking at us, and we are also welcoming brands which were, till now, the prerogative of the West. India itself has the best of luxury to offer, with a 500 year heritage of indulging in all that is fine, perfect and refined. &lt;strong&gt;We know our luxury.&lt;/strong&gt; The numerous Bentleys and glittering Cartier creations that our Maharajas owned are proof enough of that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since starting in India, we have spread our wings and reach to America, where the consciousness for fine luxury is becoming more mature and specific.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luxury is not just a high-end shopping experience. It is a lifestyle, a culture and an art. It is the past, present and future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enjoy it through our online magazine...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online is whizzing past print!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;rsquo;t need us to tell you that luxury consumers are increasingly depending on the online medium to understand and be updated about luxury. LuxuryFacts has achieved credibility in this segment and readers trust our opinion.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Limited advertisers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not only is LuxuryFacts particular what brands it covers on the website, we are also particular about which brands advertise on LuxuryFacts. You won&amp;rsquo;t find the same space hosting an advertisement by a luxury brand and a mass brand. Also, we focus on limited number of advertisers at a certain term. Competitive brands are not advertised together at the same time. Be assured that your brand will get the maximum attention at a time on LuxuryFacts.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;360 degree marketing&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Maximise the effect by harnessing the full power of internet with us, and reaching out to the luxury consumer in multiple ways!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We have curated a selection of products which are made and packaged lovingly by craftsmen and artisans. A lot of thought and skill goes into sending you that perfect piece! Therefore, we implore you to bear these important points in mind while ordering from LuxuryFacts.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Delivery:&lt;/strong&gt; Since we have partner brands from different countries, delivering all across the globe, most of the items will take anywhere between 7-14 days to reach their destination (unless otherwise specified on the product page). Once shipped, you will be sent the tracking details to see your package reaching you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Returns &amp;amp; Refunds:&lt;/strong&gt; We want to work with our customers. Please give us the opportunity to service you by reaching us at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:orders@luxuryfacts.com&quot;&gt;orders@luxuryfacts.com&lt;/a&gt;. All we ask is to request a return within 14 days of delivery of the package. Once the return package has been received by us, we will inspect the item for damage or usage. If accepted, we will process the refund within 14 days to the same mode of payment. The cost of the return shipping will have to be borne by the customer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Condition of the Return:&lt;/strong&gt; Returned goods should retain original tags and condition. They should be unused. Goods that are damaged/without tags will not be refunded.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Received Damaged Goods?&lt;/strong&gt; If so, please send us an email along with images at &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:orders@luxuryfacts.com&quot;&gt;orders@luxuryfacts.com&lt;/a&gt;, and we shall resolve your issue (whether to return or exchange) in 7 days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our world is bearing the brunt of increased human activity. &lt;strong&gt;Transportation activities (aviation, rail, shipping, heavy and light trucking) are responsible for approximately 17% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.&lt;/strong&gt; Since this is a global platform with products flying across the skies, please be mindful when returning the items. &lt;strong&gt;LuxuryFacts curated products are classics with the highest standards of quality.

&lt;div&gt;Posted on: October 10, 2011&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ever wonder what a truly Zen experience feels like? You don&amp;rsquo;t have to wonder anymore. Don&amp;rsquo;t be surprised to find it now in your favourite city &amp;ndash; Mumbai &amp;ndash; at the Areopagus Spa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_Buddharoom-(24).jpg&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;467&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;7&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Who does not love professional perks, especially when they come in form of a massage! My aching soul found the address and promptly fixed an appointment for this review hoping for rejuvenation and nirvana. Tucked in a by-lane of Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s jewellery district Opera House on Huges Road, Areopagus Spa couldn&amp;rsquo;t have a better location. After all the store hopping between A.Jaffe, Orra, TBZ, the after-effects of the long search and battle for that right ring, a lady might find some respite in a spa uplifting her enough to send her on yet another round of hunting and searching.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The team at Areopagus Spa describes it as a luxurious escape from the hustle bustle of urbanization. Its services and experience are designed to transport you into a world of tranquility and stillness, giving you a feeling of oriental warmth and hospitality which are the foundations of the Japanese culture.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On arrival, you are greeted by a polite girl, who promptly whips out some refreshing drink and assists you with the menu of services they offer. Lit a bit too bright for a spa, the reception&amp;rsquo;s d&amp;eacute;cor in deep wood and reds promise the delights that lay within each chamber. After understanding the different session&amp;rsquo;s benefits and perceiving how nice I would feel as soon as this evening ended, I selected the house speciality, the Japanese Zen Shiatsu massage which promised to de-stress hormones, diminish pain and spurt the immune system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The masseuse led me to my private room with its attached steam room, handed over clothes resembling a karate gear, and vanished into thin air. Clothes? What am I missing here? Not bad for those who have massage anxiety each time they imagine the horror of revealing their &amp;lsquo;EVERYTHING&amp;rsquo; to a stranger &amp;ndash; who is so judging them! Being scarred with my own massage table stories which still haunt me, I happily slipped into what was an oversized Karate-ish outfit in colours I certainly did not like. But who cared when you have 120 minutes of stress busting therapy coming up?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_couplesroom-(13).jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;600&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;7&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Now honestly massage has always been about me being sprawled on the table smothered in oils with a &amp;lsquo;WonderHands&amp;rsquo; person working their skills and making me never wanting the moment to end. So how different would a Japanese therapy be when the end goal is release and relaxation? I suppose only better, especially if it has &amp;lsquo;Zen&amp;rsquo; attached into the name. I couldn&amp;rsquo;t be more mistaken. Starting with your legs working upwards, the Shiatsu employs application of pressure all over the body and along the energy pathways in line with the traditional Chinese acupuncture. It helps stimulate the innate healing abilities of the body and reduce symptoms of illness to regain strength and vitality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Simply put, it was a synchronized wrestling match between my lifelessly stiff body and the masseuse who used joint movement and stretching to increase flexibility as well as provide better access to the energy paths. You will be moved, pulled, twisted and turned till you start feeling each and every fibre in your being. The therapist was kind enough to keep asking every now and then if the pressure levels need be increased or reduced. The Zen Shiatsu might not send you in a state of &amp;lsquo;Zen&amp;rsquo; while the massage is going on, considering the degree of pressure and stretching practiced by your therapist, who uses each and every limb to give you a kick start (quite literally) making you feel all &amp;lsquo;Jello&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;There were moments somewhere between the shoulder twisting and the arm pulling when&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I thought to myself &amp;ldquo;What have I done to deserve this?&amp;rdquo; But I assure you it will end exactly when the two hours are up. You are given an option of slipping into the steam room and shower before you finally limp your way out of the massage room, back to the lobby, where a steaming hot green tea awaits you.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The massage might seem very unconventional for the uninitiated, but be rest assured, the&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Zen-moment arrives the moment you sip on the tea, suddenly feeling parts of the body you never thought you had. The release of toxins and muscle stiffness seem to evaporate.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Areopagus claims to be a pioneer of high-end Japanese day spas in India with multiple franchises run outlets. Each of Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s four branches assures you of consistent quality and hospitality. At the core of their service is the art they specialize in - a combination of Japanese and Chinese massage therapies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_greenroom-(9).jpg&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;467&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;7&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In addition to Shiatsu, more pampering rejuvenating services are listed here. Try the&amp;nbsp;420-minute Grounding Therapy which blends stretching, use of finger knuckles and elbows with hot towels and oil, to hit every muscle and nerve in your body. You can even double the pleasure of healing with two masseuses massaging in the Ritual Massage which lasts for two hours. In addition to this, Cupid Lovers massage sessions are worth exploring if you and your partner want to indulge simultaneously. I am certain the Yuki Energy and the Luxurious Facial sessions might be just the thing I might revisit them for another city-stress related breakdown!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Buongthangmawi Khawbung, Director of Areopagus Spa, is confident that Indians are ready for the next level of luxury spa experience &amp;ndash; this time from the orient. &amp;ldquo;Touch is such a powerful healer that it can move mountains,&amp;rdquo; explains Ms Khawbung of her art form. It is certainly true as well&amp;hellip;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 16, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;PRS Oberoi&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/PRS%20Oberoi%20tribute.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 421px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone who steered the Oberoi Group of hotels to be on the international luxury travellers&amp;rsquo; map, P.R.S. Oberoi, passed away on November 14 aged 94. A deserved winner of the Padma Vibhushan, India&amp;#39;s second-highest civilian award, he was fondly called Biki. The younger son of the founder of the group, Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, he took over the reins of the company after his father passed, and made it India&amp;rsquo;s first international luxury brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Known to be a stickler for perfection, he did his education from India, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Despite his diminutive frame, it was his personality that was massive and commanded respect among his peers and within the organisation, as he worked tirelessly to transform his father&amp;#39;s East Indian Hotels company into a brand known for its immersive luxury experiences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having been privy to observing his father in close quarters as he navigated the hospitality space, Mr. Oberoi had famously admitted that this was the only business he knew. After all, he had the luxury of being able to travel the world and stay at the world&amp;rsquo;s leading hotels to understand what luxury really meant. And he used this to transform the group to what it is today. The Oberoi Hotels &amp;amp; Resorts and Trident brands have 32 luxury hotels and two river cruise ships in seven countries as of today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The patriarch of the brand, he started The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development at New Delhi in 1967. Apart from being known for his attention to detail, (the degree of lighting, placing of switches, height of the bathtub or the curtain&amp;rsquo;s exact colour), he built, among other properties, the Rajvilas, Jaipur, Wildflower Hall, Shimla, Udaivilas, Udaipur, Amarvilas, Agra, and Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore, in India. Prioritising being the best over being the biggest, he transformed the hospitality landscape of the country in his six decade long career.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Known to never cut corners, he was a stickler for doing things right. Would you believe it? He would send his breakfast back if the egg yolk of his egg did not have the perfect sunrise yellow? And further, he would ensure that the entire batch of eggs would not be used for other guests either? Well, this was his example of being a &amp;ldquo;fussy guest&amp;rdquo; which just goes to show his passion and his need for his staff to be perfect &amp;ldquo;99.5%&amp;rdquo; of the time. It&amp;rsquo;s a trait that has well and truly rubbed off into the staff at the Oberoi Hotels even today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;He was a class act. Period.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In fact, his deep-rooted knowledge of the nuances of hospitality was what made him stand out. Who else would close a flagship hotel like the Oberoi in Delhi for two years to give it a more contemporary luxury look? He believed that &amp;ldquo;hospitality is all about common sense which is hard to find&amp;rdquo;. He knew everything &amp;ndash; from the storage capacity of underground water tanks in his hotels, the location of the original load bearing beams of his hotels to F&amp;amp;B margins and room service standards in all his hotels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Probably the best way to remember him is in the words of industrialist Anand Mahindra whose tribute to him on X read, &amp;ldquo;He made &amp;lsquo;Oberoi&amp;rsquo; a global byword for the Indian luxury hospitality experience and the first to put an Indian hotel on the very top of global rankings. He also rallied the group heroically but quietly post the 26/11 attack on their Mumbai flagship. He was a class act. Period.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A pioneer, a visionary, and a legend, P.R.S. Oberoi is irreplaceable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Greece islands&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/evangelos-mpikakis-greece-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A luxurious trip allows you to indulge in world-class amenities and high-standard services. Sure, they come with a hefty price tag, but they are worth every penny spent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Greece is one of those destinations that offers the perfect setting for a luxurious getaway. It&amp;#39;s home to picturesque islands with all-inclusive resorts and some of the world&amp;#39;s finest restaurants serving delectable Greek cuisine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to splurge on your next holiday to Greece, here are some of the best Greek islands for luxury vacations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Crete&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Crete Greece Palace of Knossos&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/egor-myznik-Crete%20Palace%20of%20Knossos-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1046px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the largest of the Greek Islands, Crete is a Mediterranean jewel that has it all. From &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.planetware.com/greece/top-rated-beaches-on-crete-gr-1-11.htm&quot;&gt;pristine beaches&lt;/a&gt; to gorgeous weather and the archaeological treasures of the Minoans, Crete can offer a holiday you&amp;#39;ll never forget. And if you&amp;#39;re seeking a luxury vacation, the island will delight you with its five-star resorts and the finest restaurants serving traditional, mouth-watering Cretan cuisine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Boasting picture-perfect beaches and rugged coastlines, Crete is an incredibly stunning island, perfect for relaxing and enjoying water sports like snorkelling and kayaking. For mesmerising scenery that will stay in your memory forever, head over to the warm shallows of Balos Lagoon on Crete&amp;#39;s northwest tip. The gorgeous lagoon is one of the island&amp;#39;s most photographed beaches and is a favourite for tourists.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nature lovers and adventure seekers can hike the trails of Samaria Gorge, marvel at the steep walls of the Iron Gates, and come across a wild goat found only in Crete.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No visit to Crete is complete without checking out its archaeological marvels, especially the Palace of Knossos, a Minoan ruin most famous for its connection to Greek mythology. Venture into the beautiful Spinaloga island, where you&amp;#39;ll find the relics of a Venetian fortress from the 16th century and learn of its captivating past.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Corfu&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Corfu Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/calin-stan-corfu-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 402px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Corfu is an enchanting island in the Ionian Sea, offering the perfect setting to enjoy a Greek luxury getaway. The island boasts a harmonious blend of ancient history, rich culture, and natural beauty. It captivates visitors with its picturesque beaches, turquoise blue waters, ancient ruins, and charming villages. A true paradise for luxury lovers, Corfu offers a range of activities for every visitor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Corfu&amp;#39;s historic centre is a delight to explore, especially for history lovers. It&amp;#39;s a UNESCO World Heritage Site with pretty cobblestone streets, magnificent squares, and vibrant buildings. You&amp;#39;ll love meandering through its narrow streets, stumbling upon numerous captivating historical landmarks, including the iconic Spianada Square.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nestled on a rocky outcrop along the north-western section of Corfu, Angelokastro, or the Angel Castle, is a must-see. The magnificent castle is a testament to the legacy of the Byzantine era, dating back to the 7th century, and has withstood the test of time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When it comes to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.oliverstravels.com/greece/corfu/&quot;&gt;luxury accommodation in Corfu&lt;/a&gt;, you will not be disappointed. Here, you&amp;#39;ll find upscale accommodation options that cater to those seeking a luxurious travel experience in Greece. When dining out in Corfu, you&amp;#39;ll find fantastic eateries specialising in a delightful blend of Greek, Italian, and Venetian cuisines. If you want to splurge, you&amp;#39;ll find plenty of Michelin-starred restaurants to enjoy a fancy meal. Some have views overlooking the Ionian Sea and serve the freshest and most mouthwatering seafood.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Mykonos&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Mykonos Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/johnny-africa-mykonos-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 525px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mykonos is one of the most stunning islands in Greece that can make for a perfect destination for a luxurious and fun-filled getaway. Known for its vibrant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theblondeabroad.com/mykonos-greece-beach-and-party-guide/&quot;&gt;nightlife scene&lt;/a&gt;, Mykonos will entertain you with its fancy beach clubs, bars, and restaurants. Exceedingly beautiful, Mykonos is a slice of paradise on Earth and a must-visit for anyone seeking luxurious travel experiences in Greece.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best way to start your adventure in Mykonos is to stroll through the picturesque alleys of the Old Town. Begin from Mykonos Town and into Little Venice, a charming seaside area full of restaurants, shops, and cafes. Here, you&amp;#39;ll stumble upon famous attractions like the impressive whitewashed Paraportiani Church and some great restaurants to indulge in gyros and other traditional Greek specialties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A more exciting way to discover Mykonos is on a quad bike. Venture into the outskirts to uncover hidden gems and remote villages to soak up the local culture. Keep your eyes peeled on some incredible viewpoints, perfect for taking stunning Instagram-worthy snaps!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While exploring Mykonos, don&amp;#39;t miss the chance to visit the traditional windmills of Kato Mili on the western side of Mykonos Town. Here, you&amp;#39;ll find the iconic windmills looking out into the deep blue sea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Santorini&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Santorini Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/tania-mousinho-greece-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 933px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While Santorini is a popular destination for a honeymoon and couples&amp;#39; romantic getaways, it has something for every visitor, especially those seeking a luxurious getaway. Here, you can relax and swim on its volcanic black sand beaches, dine at clifftop restaurants with breathtaking views, marvel at spectacular sunsets, or take a small ship cruise to discover the caldera and enjoy snorkelling and other water activities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#39;s no doubt that Santorini is breathtaking, but you can best enjoy its views from the water. So, book a &lt;a href=&quot;https://unforgettablegreece.com/greek-island-cruises&quot;&gt;small luxury Greek cruise&lt;/a&gt; and set sail along Santorini&amp;#39;s coast to enjoy a closer look at the magnificent white caldera.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to relax at the beach, head to Kamari Beach. It&amp;#39;s one of the best beaches on the island, famous for its distinct volcanic black sand. After a day on the beach, head out to the small village of Kamari, where you&amp;#39;ll find bars, restaurants, and cafes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Kefalonia&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Kefalonia Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/george-prentzas-kefalonia-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 277px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Made famous by the film Captain Corelli&amp;#39;s Mandolin, Kefalonia is a picturesque island that&amp;#39;s a perfect choice for your luxury holiday in Greece. It&amp;#39;s the largest of the Ionian Islands, boasting gorgeous beaches, charming fishing villages, and unspoiled scenery. Since the island is seldom busy, you can find plenty of areas on its beaches to stretch out and relax in the shade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your trip to Kefalonia is all about discovering stunning nature. Active travellers can hike up Mount Ainos and explore the national park of over 3000 hectares, which is the hub of the island&amp;#39;s biodiversity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Venture into the stunning &lt;a href=&quot;https://theworldtravelguy.com/melissani-cave-lake/&quot;&gt;Melissani Lake in Karavomylos&lt;/a&gt;. The lake lies in a cave with an opening at the top and looks enchanting during the day when the sun shines through to the opening, illuminating the bright turquoise waters!&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 16, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are many jewelers in the world. It&amp;rsquo;s full of them. Coming from the land of India, especially, there is no dearth of jewelers. However, not many can claim to design jewelry that is artistic, or thrilling. There are some cuts, shapes, and curves, that are evergreen, always in demand. And most jewelers prefer to stick to those classic pieces and stone. The business of jewelry is, after all, expensive.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are a tiny few jewelers, however, that manage to break the mold, and offer something that is so breathtaking, that it&amp;rsquo;s almost unbelievable. And this year, publisher Rizzoli, decided to put some of them in the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Art of David Webb &amp;ndash; Jewelry and Culture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The Art of David Webb coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20Of%20David%20Webb%20cover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 870px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A part of my daily schedule includes sifting through numerous press releases, many of them from auction houses. A regular feature in many of the jewelry auctions is David Webb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This jeweler from the 1940s was a visionary for his times. Even today, his jewelry stands out among a sea of regular looking pieces. He created life-like monkeys, cats and the legendary zebras. He used materials like coral, abalone pearl, azurmalachite, which were a novelty in the period he lived in. He hammered gold to give them bold shapes; he mixed colors in inconceivable combinations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The Art of David Webb coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20of%20David%20Webb%20pg72-73.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 453px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a 1963 article for New York Herald Tribune, Mr. Webb asked boldly that why jewelry can&amp;rsquo;t be considered as art? Why can&amp;rsquo;t it be hung on the walls like art? Today, his musing has come true. His jewelry is certainly considered art, and museums love to showcase his jewelry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This book takes you through David Webb&amp;rsquo;s world in a very clever way. Not only does the author Ruth Peltason walks you through his ideas, sketches and innovation, but does so in juxtaposition to the world he was living in. She compares &amp;ndash; or rather connects &amp;ndash; Mr. Webb&amp;rsquo;s works with dresses by Yves-Saint Laurent, architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, photographs by Edward Curtis, and even a Roman mosaic uncovered in Pompeii. It&amp;rsquo;s a wonderful way to perceive jewelry, and culture. A certain page turner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The Art of David Webb coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20of%20David%20Webb%20pg146-147.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 451px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Francesca Amfitheatrof &amp;ndash; Fantastical Jewels&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fantastical Jewels coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Francesca%20Amfitheatrof%20cover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 841px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a brand that started in 1854, Louis Vuitton is a fairly recent entrant into the world of high jewelry. But it&amp;rsquo;s certainly not a na&amp;iuml;ve one. It knows the game, as does Francesca Amfotheatrof, the Artistic Director Watches and Jewellery at Louis Vuitton.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A design maverick, Ms. Amfitheatrof was born in Tokyo, and raised in Asia, America, Russia and Europe. She studied at three London institutions - Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts and Royal College of Art. She has previously led the jewelry design team at Tiffany &amp;amp; Co. She has also been senior jewelry designer for UK royal jeweler Asprey &amp;amp; Garrard; designed for Chanel, Balenciaga, Fendi and Marni; and was the curator of Gucci Museo in Florence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fantastical Jewels coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Fantastical%20Jewels%201.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 890px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her designs for Louis Vuitton have been contemporary, clean, bold, and spellbinding. &amp;ldquo;I was not schooled in the art of Haute Joailleire. I believe it is one of the reasons my designs feel modern and relevant,&amp;rdquo; she says in the book.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That does seem to be true. Even though her inspirations have been ancient, her creations have managed to cradle the balance between past, present and future. She has earned her name in the Hall of Fame due to her ability to create truly beautiful pieces that are adaptable to your interpretation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fantastical Jewels coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Fantastical%20Jewels%203.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 887px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book, organized by the collection, begins with the high jewellery &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Louis-Vuitton-announces-Cate-Blanchett-as-its-newe&quot;&gt;Spirit collection&lt;/a&gt;, which was launched last year. Immerse yourself with 3D sketches, behind the making photos and close-up shots of high carat gems. Ms. Amfitheatrof delves into the inspiration of each piece, while sharing some lesser known details. The Liberty necklace, for example, has a hidden message behind. The Destiny necklace has a 10+ carat ruby that can be removed to be placed in a ring, and can be replaced with a diamond. There&amp;rsquo;s more to devour.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book feels like a journey into the mystical world of Ms. Amfitheatrof. Mood board images, drawings, celebrity shots, all combine to give the book a true Louis Vuitton feeling &amp;ndash; a feeling of travel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A Bit of Universe &amp;ndash; The Jewelry of Luz Camino&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luz Camino coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20cover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 923px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luz Camino is &amp;ndash; perhaps &amp;ndash; the best kept secret of the jewelry world. And that&amp;rsquo;s just as well, because massification won&amp;rsquo;t suit her vision and creativity. A person of incredible talent, dexterity and imagination, she doesn&amp;rsquo;t have a Wikipedia profile, with only about 3000 followers on Instagram. That does not, however, speak about her products. It merely speaks about her dedication to her craft &amp;ndash; to jewelry making.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This book gives an ode to this incredible Spanish master jeweler, who was the first woman in Spain to qualify as a goldsmith, or &lt;em&gt;sacador de fuego&lt;/em&gt; (one who extracts from the fire). A short foreword by designer Carolina Herrera is followed by an insightful essay on the jeweler by Clare Phillips &amp;ndash; the Elizabeth Gage Curator of Jewellery at the Victoria &amp;amp; Albert Museum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luz Camino coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20p91.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 673px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And then comes pages upon pages of Ms. Camino&amp;rsquo;s jewelry, which is spellbinding, captivating and pure. Her jewelry is indeed a bit of universe, as she takes inspiration from even insignificant moments of nature. Who could have thought that a necklace can be created to recreate melting ice cubes? Or the curving form of pencil shavings could be cast in gold? Only Ms. Camino I believe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The jeweler innovates with any and every kind of material. Brittle mica is combined with tourmalines, irregular opal is used with resin. There are beautiful Poppies and Navelwort brooches to wonder over. There is the magnificent Nebula, composed of multiple gems, artfully orchestrated to showcase the eponymous wonder of cosmos. The Spanish Dancer Fish brooch, Grapes earrings, Blackberries brooch &amp;ndash; all are as true to the original as can be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luz Camino coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20p168-169.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 470px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the end of the book is where you get a glimpse into the woman that is Luz Camino. She talks about three incidents that shaped her career, and her grandchildren. Her son pens a moving tribute to the person he works with now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book does not have much text, instead offering a peek into Ms. Camino&amp;rsquo;s body of work. Most of the jewels have never been seen by the larger world, and they are a treat indeed. A &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Beat-the-Heat-Cool-Off-Looking-at-Gems-at-These-Tw&quot;&gt;rare exhibition&lt;/a&gt; had happened in Manhattan recently, at the Hispanic Society Museum. This book, therefore, is something I will treasure for years to come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The art fairs are back in town and we&amp;rsquo;re out and about to see what&amp;rsquo;s trending for collectors and those curious about art and design. Follow along!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Trunks Company Bar Trunk&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Trunks%20Company%20Bar%20Trunk.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 5px 7px; width: 700px; height: 392px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Bar Trunk by Trunks Company.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We stopped in to The Art Show, one of the longest-running art fairs in the country and put on by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). For its 130th edition, 57 booths featured solo exhibitions, including standout presentations by Tavares Strachan with Marian Goodman Gallery (New York), Joel Mesler with Cheim &amp;amp; Read (New York), Sheila Hicks with Sikkema Jenkins &amp;amp; Co. (New York), Roy Lichtenstein with Castelli Gallery (New York) and Kiki Smith with Pace Gallery (New York &amp;amp; Los Angeles). I was particularly interested in the George Sand (French writer and artist) watercolor series presented by the Jill Newhouse Gallery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For anyone who&amp;rsquo;s interested in top tier furniture, fine art and d&amp;eacute;cor, the annual Salon Art &amp;amp; Design fair is one of the most anticipated fairs of the year with its high style exhibitors and their expertly curated settings in the categories of art and design. Held at the historic and huge Park Avenue Armory on Manhattan&amp;rsquo;s Upper East Side, I always feel as if I&amp;rsquo;m crashing Elle D&amp;eacute;cor and Architectural Digest magazine photoshoots!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fifty of the world&amp;rsquo;s finest galleries who present design and art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries encompassing historical, modern and contemporary furniture and groundbreaking design exhibited this year. It&amp;rsquo;s a chic and vibrant mix of genres and styles, and the only fair of this caliber in these categories. For the first time, Salon integrated a select group of special design and jewelry exhibitions on the floor, ranging from exclusive capsule collections from individual designers to smaller curations from galleries such as ABASK.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;ABASK booth Salon + Art Design &quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/ABASk%20booth%20salon%20fair.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paritosh Mehta of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Making-the-Box-Trunks-Company-Jaipurs-Take-on-an&quot;&gt;Trunks Company&lt;/a&gt; (founded in 2011) is a first-time exhibitor. Of the company&amp;rsquo;s Rajputana Bar Cabinet Trunk, Library Bar Trunk and Chess Bar Cabinet, he said, &amp;ldquo;We have fused an innate romanticism and art with intricate craftsmanship to treasure one&amp;rsquo;s prized possessions, passions and emotions. We continue to draw cultural inspiration from Jaipur&amp;rsquo;s timeless heritage, and our journey is an ever-evolving canvas with intricate details, depth, and layers.&amp;rdquo; These masterpieces merge Indian culture with craftsmanship and are made in the company&amp;rsquo;s headquarters in the regal city of Jaipur, India.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
On the flip side, we took in The Other Art Fair, presented by Saatchi Art, which took place in Brooklyn the same weekend, with affordable artworks from more than 120 artists from around the globe, with more than half of exhibitors local to the New York metropolitan area. Throughout the weekend, fair visitors mingled among art works, the artists, and also enjoyed drinks and delicious bites, with live DJ sets, unique installations and hands-on workshops. The Other Art Fair fosters an inclusive environment where art is for everyone. Placing an emphasis on community, the Brooklyn edition supports and promotes local talent with numerous New York-based partners, brands, artists, organizations and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not considered an art fair, but worth mentioning, is the upcoming auction of legendary musician Prince&amp;rsquo;s iconic wardrobe and accessories presented by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/details/662-the-fashion-of-prince-auction/&quot;&gt;RR Auctions&lt;/a&gt;. Attending the preview of &amp;ldquo;The Fashion of Prince&amp;rdquo; at the newly refurbished Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan, we took a closer look at the glamorous coats, the sensational white ruffled blouse, plus shoes and costume jewelry, all part of the collection being auctioned this month. If you&amp;rsquo;re looking to spice up your wardrobe, bid now!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 15, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Amalfi Coast Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/mahdiye-jv-amalfi%20coast%202-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Italy is home to fantastic destinations that lure visitors seeking luxurious experiences. If you&amp;#39;re keen to discover the country&amp;#39;s incredible wine culture, consider a wine-tasting tour of Tuscany. Those who have a fondness for car racing can visit Formula 1 in Monza. If you&amp;#39;re keen on discovering the nation&amp;#39;s rich history and culture, a private tour of Rome would be perfect. Meanwhile, if you&amp;#39;re dreaming of a holiday by the sea, yachting around the incredibly stunning Amalfi Coast is the ideal getaway. For foodies, taking a cooking class in Bologna will suit you best.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To know more about these, here are the top 5 luxurious things to do in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Go Wine Tasting in Tuscany&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Tuscany vineyards Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/johny-goerend-tuscany%20vineyard-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wine lovers should pay a visit to the stunning wine region of Tuscany. As one of the world&amp;#39;s top destinations for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foodandwine.com/wine/best-wineries-visit-tuscany&quot;&gt;wine lovers&lt;/a&gt;, Tuscany is the best place to discover the finest Italian wines and learn more about the region&amp;#39;s wine industry on a wine-tasting tour. Aside from learning about wine, your tour will take you past picturesque vineyards surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful scenery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chianti is one of the most renowned Italian wine varieties. You will find the vineyards of Chianti all over the Tuscany region. However, Greve in Chianti is the best place for a wine-tasting tour. It&amp;#39;s less than an hour from Florence, home to gorgeous castles and several miles of stunning vineyards that change colours according to the season. You will find many excellent accommodations in the Greve in Chianti that offer a travel package that includes the accommodation and a wine-tasting tour, so you may want to take advantage of these.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re more into red wine, the charming city of Montepulciano is the place to be. It&amp;#39;s famous for its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a dry, full-bodied red wine. The city is also a fun place to explore, home to impressive churches and ancient towers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Visit the Formula 1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Monza Italy race track&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/isaac-maffeis-monza%20race%20track-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fans of the F1 race should check out the Autodromo Nazionale race track near Monza, about 15 miles north of Milan. Situated within the Royal Villa of Monza Park, the circuit features a lush woodland setting, which makes it even more interesting to see. The Autodromo Nazionale race track has consistently been a beloved choice for Formula 1 drivers and race enthusiasts alike. To ensure you don&amp;#39;t miss out, its advisable to book &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.grandstandtickets.com/italian-f1-tickets/&quot;&gt;tickets to the Italian Formula 1&lt;/a&gt; races in advance!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best way to reach Monza is to travel by car from Milan. You can rent one from the city and use GPS to navigate. Depending on your pace, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the place. You can park the car in one of the car parks within the circuit, costing around 25 euros per day. If driving is not an option, you can take a taxi, which costs around 45 euros. It&amp;#39;s also possible to get to Monza by train. The circuit is close to two train stations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While many would come to Monza on a day trip from Milan, it&amp;#39;s worth spending a day or two in the city. After the F1 race, you can explore the city. You&amp;#39;ll find the historic centre a fun place to stroll around, where you&amp;#39;ll find places of interest like the Duomo of Monza and its Museum of Treasures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Take a Private Tour of Rome&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Rome Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/caleb-miller-rome-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 464px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want a seamless and well-organised trip to Rome, a private tour of Rome seems like an excellent option. Italy&amp;#39;s capital is home to some of the world&amp;#39;s most fascinating historical sites, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Roman Forum. When you book &lt;a href=&quot;https://touritaly.com/&quot;&gt;private tours in Italy&lt;/a&gt;, expert guides can customise your itinerary, ensuring you get the most out of your stay without having to prepare every detail yourself and allowing you to sit back, relax, and explore the best of the city.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As one of Italy&amp;#39;s most popular tourist destinations, Rome welcomes thousands of tourists each day. As a result, many of the tourist sites can get crowded. Another advantage of a private tour is that you will get access to the tourist sites earlier in the morning when it&amp;#39;s quieter. When the crowds arrive, you&amp;#39;ll enjoy snacks like gelato and other treats. You will then explore the streets of the ancient city as the evening rolls. Your guide will take you to places not many tourists know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Yacht Around the Amalfi Coast&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Amalfi Coast Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/alessio-bachetti-amalfi%20coast%201-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perched on cliffs with colourful villages cascading towards the turquoise sea, the Amalfi Coast is a fascinating place to explore on a yacht. As your boat sails through the scenic coast, you&amp;#39;ll marvel at the ornate villas, domed churches, and terraced vineyards that have been attracting visitors since ancient times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/830/&quot;&gt;UNESCO World Heritage Site&lt;/a&gt;, the Amalfi Coast is a scenic stretch of coastline along southern Italy&amp;#39;s Campania region, about 60 kilometres south of Naples. It&amp;#39;s home to many picturesque towns and villages, connected by a cliff-hugging highway that&amp;#39;s one of the country&amp;#39;s most scenic driving routes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While yachting around the Amalfi Coast, make stops along the waterfront towns along the coast, from Positano in the west, and head east towards Praiano, Conca dei Marini, and Amalfi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Amalfi is pretty diverse, with each town offering a different character. Positano exudes a glamorous vibe, with beach clubs, fancy restaurants, and upscale hotels. Some towns are more laidback, while others are still undiscovered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Take a Cookery Class in Bologna&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Bologna italy cooking&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/lorenzo-tomassetti-bologna%20cooking-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bologna is known as the &amp;quot;food capital&amp;quot; of Italy, acclaimed for its rich culinary traditions and &lt;a href=&quot;https://adventurousmiriam.com/must-eat-in-bologna/&quot;&gt;world-renowned cuisine&lt;/a&gt;, which includes specialties such as rag&amp;ugrave; and handmade pasta. Joining a cooking class in Bologna is a fantastic idea if you want to learn about Italian cuisine and enhance your culinary skills. An expert will teach you how to make local cuisines that Bologna is known for, such as tortellini, lasagne, and mortadella.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even if you have some knowledge about Italian cooking, joining a cooking class is a great way to enhance your cooking skills. It offers actual training in cooking, which can help improve your cooking abilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cooking classes are popular in Bologna, and there are many different classes to choose from. Some classes involve going to local markets to buy supplies before you cook. Classes are also often held in a friendly and engaging setting. Participants can bond with fellow learners and chefs via shared culinary experiences, making it an excellent opportunity to meet new people and share a memorable activity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;November 15, 2023: More than a decade after opening its first store in New Delhi, Cartier has expanded its presence to Mumbai, a city celebrated for its diverse culture intertwining entertainment, economy, and the arts. &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Why-are-Luxury-Brands-Gravitating-Towards-Indian-C&quot;&gt;Brand ambassador Deepika Padukone&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- attired elegantly in Louis Vuitton and Cartier jewels of course - inaugurated the store.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Boasting a legacy that extends over 175 years, Cartier stands as a brand intricately woven into the fabric of history and culture. In collaboration with Reliance Brands Ltd., the new store is an extension of this rich heritage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Cartier Mumbai boutique&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/CARTIER%20MUMBAI%20BOUTIQUE%20DEEPIKA%20PADUKONE%201.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Speaking on the new store, Sophie Doireau, CEO of Cartier Middle East, India, Africa &amp;amp; Turkey, said, &amp;quot;India is a vibrant country with a dynamic and youthful population that is both inspired by its heritage and poised to innovate for a brighter future. The launch of our boutique in Mumbai is a testament to the Maison&amp;rsquo;s commitment to a long-lasting relationship that has had a significant impact on Cartier&amp;rsquo;s craftsmanship for over a century.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cartier has ensured that their newest boutique in Mumbai at Jio World Plaza is a sensory experience for visitors. Stepping into the store, the brand&amp;#39;s iconic panther welcomes visitors through a vibrant patina mural in signature shades of red, gold, and beige. As patrons look up, they encounter a meticulously crafted ceiling inspired by various forms of lapidary art, reminiscent of opulent palaces in India. The warm tones of beige, gold, and champagne bronze envelop the spaces, creating an ambiance akin to a royal residence. The brand&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/From-India-Back-to-India&quot;&gt;association with the royals&lt;/a&gt; is reflected in every corner of the interior.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Cartier Mumbai boutique&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/CARTIER%20MUMBAI%20BOUTIQUE%203.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The regal aura extends into a niche room adorned in vibrant orange, a color revered for its associations with optimism, energy, knowledge, and purity. Transitioning to the Men&amp;#39;s Universe, a space exuding strength and bravery, features carmine-red hand-painted wallpaper. The bespoke wallpaper, adorned with lotus petals, symbolizes the energetic rhythm found in nature. Indian design takes center stage with seating embellished in traditional paisley motifs, inviting visitors to dream big, mirroring the adventurous spirit of the Cartier brothers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Continuing the immersive journey, the VIP Salon unveils an exclusive and discreet space adorned with coffered ceilings inspired by carved wooden Havelis architecture. The walls are adorned in colors like yellow for luck and success, and blue symbolizing life and power. Each element in this boutique reflects a harmonious fusion of Cartier&amp;#39;s timeless elegance and the cultural richness of Mumbai, creating an environment where art, history, and luxury converge seamlessly.&lt;/p&gt;

			&#039;largedescription&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;p&gt;November 15, 2023: Inspired by the creative scope that gems provide, IVY New York&amp;rsquo;s Vlad Yavorskyy crafts unique pieces by infusing alluring sensuousness in them.

&lt;p&gt;To Mr. Yavorskyy, shaping gemstones is akin to creating a &amp;quot;work of art,&amp;quot; with a focus on optimal proportions and depth. Each internally crafted piece showcases the beauty of colored gemstones. The latest IVY x Gemfields collection showcases earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces made of 18k gold, incorporating responsibly sourced Mozambican rubies and Zambian emeralds.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

			&#039;articlename&#039; =&gt; &#039;Mary Tyler Moore&#039;s jewelry collection goes up for auction at Sotheby’s&#039;,
			&#039;largedescription&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;p&gt;November 15, 2023: For over 30 years, actress Mary Tyler Moore was married to cardiologist Robert Levine. Enduring challenges from brain tumors to diabetes, Dr. Robert Levine steadfastly supported her. Unfortunately, she passed away on January 25, 2017, at the age of 80. As per reports, she had been on a ventilator, and hospitalized with pneumonia resulting from complications related to her diabetes. Now, six years after her passing, Dr. Levine has decided to auction some of her beloved and precious jewelry pieces.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Bvlgari Gold Coin necklace&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Bulgari%20Gold%20Ancient%20Coin%20Ruby%20Diamond%20Monete%20Necklace.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Proceeds from the sale of 21 pieces will support The Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and restoring vision in individuals with diabetes, carrying forward Ms. Moore&amp;rsquo;s important work and honoring her enduring legacy. The actress had a remarkable career, securing seven Emmy awards, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe Awards, an Academy Award nomination, and a SAG Lifetime Achievement Award. The auction is a nod to her storied career.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Levine, Concept Creator and Chair of the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, said, &amp;ldquo;Mary was an optimist. She thought anything was possible. And though her near blindness from diabetic retinal disease stole her joy and independence, she worked tirelessly to support research to find diabetes cures so others would not have to suffer the same burdens she had. It was her dream that one day there would be a world without vision loss from diabetes, and the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative is committed to making that dream come true.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;diamond and pearl brooch&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Cultured%20Pearl%20Diamond%20Brooch.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Showcasing exquisite antique diamonds and contemporary pieces from renowned houses like Van Cleef &amp;amp; Arpels, Bulgari, and Tiffany and Co., the jewelry in this sale reflects Ms. Moore&amp;#39;s understated yet timeless elegance. Many pieces were gifted by her husband, Dr. Levine, whom she married in 1983. Noteworthy among them is a Bulgari &amp;#39;Monete&amp;#39; Necklace, featuring a Gold, Ancient Coin, Ruby, and Diamond pendant with an estimated value of $25,000 - $35,000.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Another highlight includes a pair of iconic silver bone cuffs by Elsa Peretti, while a cuff bracelet and earclips from Van Cleef &amp;amp; Arpels showcase the successful fusion of old and new. Inspired by ancient Etruscan design, the bracelet&amp;#39;s modern aesthetic is emblematic of the bold, sculptural trends of the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Van Cleef Arpels Gold cuff&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Van%20Cleef%20Arpels%20Gold%20Cuff%20Bracelet%20Pair%20of%20Earclips.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 718px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Other highlights are a Cultured Pearl and Diamond Brooch ($2,500 &amp;ndash; 3,500); Audemars Piguet Gold and Diamond &amp;#39;Royal Oak&amp;#39; Wristwatch ($4,000 &amp;ndash; 6,000); Group of Gold &amp;#39;Mesh&amp;#39; Jewels, Elsa Peretti for Tiffany &amp;amp; Co ($4,000 &amp;ndash; 6,000) and Group of Diamond Jewels ($15,000 - 20,000). Every item echoes the love they cherished, such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch in gold and diamonds. Dr. Levine selected this timepiece as Ms. Moore&amp;rsquo;s eyesight declined, ensuring its large dial numbers enabled her to read the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The jewel pieces will open for bidding from November 28 till December 7.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Indonesia islands&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/fajruddin-mudzakkir-padar%20island%20pink%20beach-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 525px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Picturesque remote islands, iconic cultural attractions, and idyllic beaches - these are just some of the things to love about Indonesia. As the largest country in Southeast Asia, it has something to offer every traveller, including those who prefer to travel in luxury and style. Here are the top 5 luxurious things to do in Indonesia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Take a Private Tour of Komodo National Park&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Home to the beastly Komodo dragons, Komodo National Park is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/609/&quot;&gt;UNESCO World Heritage Site&lt;/a&gt; home to beautiful white sand beaches and incredible hiking trails. It&amp;#39;s also a popular site for diving, with colourful coral reefs and fascinating underwater scenes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Indonesia islands komodo dragon&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/mitch-hodiono-komodo%20dragon-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia is book a private tour of Komodo National Park. Aside from offering an exciting opportunity to witness the Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, your tour will take you on exciting adventures and visit many other islands, such as Kelor and Padar Island.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Padar Island is where you&amp;#39;ll find the most scenic viewpoint of Komodo. It&amp;#39;s a short hike to the top, taking about 30 minutes. When you get to the top, you&amp;#39;ll be in awe at the breathtaking views that resemble those of the Jurassic Park landscape.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another thing to look forward to on your private tour of Komodo National Park is the opportunity to visit Pink Beach. The park is home to gorgeous pink sand beaches, among the most Instagrammable beaches in Indonesia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Komodo Dragon Trek is the highlight of your private tour of Komodo National Park. For this activity, you&amp;#39;ll do a short trek to search for the Komodo dragons. You will be with a park ranger to ensure a safer and more enjoyable trek.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Chill in an Infinity Pool Overlooking Bali&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Ubud Hanging Gardens Pool&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Ubud%20Hanging%20Gardens%20pool.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bali is one of the few places in the world where you&amp;#39;ll find many resorts with incredible infinity pools overlooking stunning beaches, rice terraces, and majestic volcanoes. Thus, one of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia is to chill in an infinity pool.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ll find plenty of options when searching for infinity pools in Bali. But the most iconic is the Ubud Hanging Gardens. Surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, the well-known Bali resort has received several recognitions for being one of the world&amp;#39;s best swimming pools. Due to its popularity, they only allow guests staying at the resort to use the pool. If you are staying at a different resort, you can book the half-day package, which comes with lunch, a spa treatment, and access to the famous infinity pool.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aside from the Ubud Hanging Gardens, you&amp;#39;ll find many other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.asmallworld.com/collection&quot;&gt;luxurious hotels to stay in&lt;/a&gt; around Bali with beautiful outdoor spaces to relax in, especially if you don&amp;#39;t mind splurging. You can stay at Padma Resort Ubud, which has outstanding accommodations and excellent amenities, including an 89-metre infinity pool with panoramic views of the river valley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Visit Orangutans in Borneo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Borneo Island&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/dimitry-b-borneo-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Borneo is a Southeast Asian island shared by Indonesia and Malaysia. It lies along the South China Sea and is renowned for its incredible wildlife, including orangutans and proboscis monkeys.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The majority of Borneo is Kalimantan, which is part of Indonesia. It&amp;#39;s a massive state consisting of five provinces. With a relatively high population of orangutans, it&amp;#39;s one of the best places to see orangutans in their natural habitat. You can book a private tour that will take you to Tanjung Puting National Park, set amidst a vast swathe of coastal tropical forests. It started as a reserve before being transformed into a national park in 1982.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you get to the park, you can take a small boat to explore and discover its natural wonders. Sailing gently along Sungai Sekonyer, keep your eyes peeled on the orangutans and other incredible animals, such as pot-bellied macaques and crocodiles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your journey will begin at the Kumai River port before heading to the three main feeding stations of the park with a local guide. Here, you can witness semi-wild orangutans in their feeding sessions - a magnificent experience!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Yacht around the Indonesian Islands&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 14, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This article has nothing to do with the classic book by Ernest Hemingway published in 1940. It&amp;rsquo;s just that, similar to Robert Jordan, the central character in the book, it&amp;rsquo;s time western luxury brands need to blow the old bridge of a global uniformity approach while introducing and managing luxury in India.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dior Fall 2023 show in Mumbai&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/dior%20fall%202023%20mumbai.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 465px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dior&amp;#39;s Fall 2023 collection which was inspired by India, crafted in India, and showcased in India at Mumbai.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was a strong belief among luxury custodians that global brands with a global identity cater to a global culture. I would not disagree because in past years western luxury brands were mostly bought by an elite few who were globe trotters. They were more in tune with a global culture, with individualist buying value motivations, like hedonism and for self-pleasure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Recent years in India have witnessed a technological revolution, a democratization of luxury, increasing aspirations and disposable income among a much wider canvas of Indians. India is fundamentally a more collectivist society wherein the reference and peer group influence do matter. There is a fondness for western luxury brands because they are considered aspirational in the reference group that matter to a consumer. Though it&amp;rsquo;s an achievement-oriented society, there is respect for heritage, traditions, beliefs and faiths. It&amp;rsquo;s heartening to see that some luxury and fashion brands have appreciated the diversity and cultural intensity of India.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
What triggered this article was a Facebook post recently by the CEO of Ethos Watch Boutiques, titled &amp;ldquo;Raymond Weil &amp;amp; Ethos present the Ganges Limited Edition&amp;rdquo;. River Ganges, which springs from the Himalayas and flows across north India into the Bay of Bengal, is considered the holiest river of the land. Raymond Weil, in collaboration with Ethos, honoured the Ganges with a limited edition of 99 timepieces, thereby breathing a cultural meaning to the brand. It not about the sales and the revenue that these 99 pieces would generate. It&amp;rsquo;s about how big a brand story Raymond Weil and Ethos could weave into the mind space of Indians &amp;ndash; a strategic move to boost brand recall and sales thereon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Raymond Weil Ganges collection&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/raymond-weil-ganges%20collection.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 560px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Raymond Weil&amp;#39;s Ganges Limited Edition.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Way back in 2009, Swatch Group was a frontrunner in extending a cultural meaning to their mother brand &amp;ldquo;Swatch&amp;rdquo;, when they tied up with a leading Indian fashion designer Manish Arora for a colourful, funky collection weaved around India&amp;rsquo;s Bollywood, pop, art and culture. Swatch globally built a compelling brand story which was communicated with both below and above the line media vehicles. The local team, with an extensive mall and PR strategy, followed by media campaigns, built a hype around the brand that resulted in a cascading effect on the sales of other Swatch products as well, and gave a boost to the image of the brand in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A master stroke was by Hermes &amp;ndash; another frontrunner in the luxury industry &amp;ndash; who in 2011 launched a limited edition Indian saree collection. By recreating the sari with its house codes, Hermes did manage to build an emotional connect with the Indian woman with this strategic cultural assimilation. They were priced between INR 3,00,000 to INR 4,00,000. With fabrics varying from cashmere to twill silk they were well within the affordability of the wealthy Indian.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
During this era, many big banner luxury brands came out with their own versions of India-inspired products. Some worked, while some bombed. And &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Luxury-Customisation---The-Secret-Ingredient&quot;&gt;not entirely everyone was convinced&lt;/a&gt; with the success of this strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Priyanka Chopra Jonas Bvlgari mangalsutra&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Priyanka%20Chopra%20bvlgari%20mangalsutra.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Bvlgari&amp;#39;s Mangalsutra for Vogue India magazine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ten years later, luxury brands are back at the game. There was quite a bit of excitement when Bvlgari not only assigned &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Priyanka-Chopra-Jonas-becomes-the-newest-member-of&quot;&gt;Priyanka Chopra Jonas as its brand ambassador&lt;/a&gt;, but also launched the &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/A-Mangalsutra-for-the-Modern-Woman-Bvlgari-Stamps&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mangalsutra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - a symbol of union between the husband and wife. This simple, traditional necklace is an emotional symbol, and priceless for the Indian woman. Bvlgari cleverly managed to introduce a cultural meaning to their brand by combining tradition with modernity. The &lt;em&gt;mangalsutra&lt;/em&gt; is traditionally made with yellow gold and should incorporate black beads. Bvlgari, respecting the local nuances, crafted a smarter, modern version of the mangalsutra.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Louis Vuitton, in 2022, launched an &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Louis-Vuitton-launches-a-curated-footwear-collecti&quot;&gt;India exclusive capsule collection of fashion footwear&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the Indian wedding season, priced between INR 75,000 to INR 1,20,000. This curated collection showcased the Rani Pink line, a reflection of Rajasthan royalty, metallic gold Shake block heels, and Time Out sneakers to name a few. The entire collection was in honour of the heritage, colours, and celebratory nature of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Making-Big-Bang-Weddings-Unique-Post-Covid&quot;&gt;big fat Indian weddings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Franck Muller launched a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.watchtime.in/articles/news/1328/franck-muller-unveils-new-india-limited-edition-watches&quot;&gt;150 pcs limited edition India specific collection&lt;/a&gt; in the later part of 2022. This was an exclusive tie up with one of India&amp;rsquo;s top luxury watch retailer - Kapoor Watch Company - on their 55th anniversary. The emerald hued and vintage-inspired sporty Vanguard watch came in two variants. It had the map of India etched on the back of the case. The steel and gold edition was priced at INR 11.7 lakhs and the rose gold edition cost the consumer INR 18.72 lakh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Franck Muller India edition&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/franck%20muller%20india%20limited%20edition%20watch.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Franck Muller&amp;#39;s India limited edition collection.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Choo, in the first half of 2023, launched its &lt;a href=&quot;https://in.fashionnetwork.com/news/Jimmy-choo-launches-exclusive-india-collection-shaan-,1472238.html&quot;&gt;India exclusive &amp;lsquo;Shaan&amp;rsquo; collection&lt;/a&gt;, the colourful stilettos and pumps which did appeal to a large section who love their heels to be colourful, glossy and glamourous. Reiterating its India presence, Franck Muller now has a cricket inspired collection for India, as does &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Extra-Butter-and-Adidas-unite-for-their-first-ever&quot;&gt;Adidas in collaboration with Extra Butter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cultural meaning &amp;ndash; is it an advantage?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Similar to all collectivist societies, Indians too are influenced by their reference group&amp;rsquo;s choices. Status and conspicuous consumption, bandwagon and snob effects are still dominant luxury buying motivations. Western luxury brands are considered very aspirational for the wealthy Indians. But at the same time, Indians take pride and have a strong appreciation for their own art, culture and heritage. A working Indian woman might go to attend her office in western attire but wear a saree in her traditional festival or religious functions. Even Indian men wear ethnic clothing on festivals. India has a fine blend of tradition and modernity. So extending a cultural meaning to the brand in a dominant collectivist Indian society is, I guess, a clever and relevant strategic move by luxury brands that have adopted this route.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no denying this fact that luxury products must remain uniform in their character and DNA across the world. Their signature is many a times an outcome of the creator&amp;rsquo;s genius. But launching a limited edition India specific collection never disturbs the applecart of global uniformity and identity. Swatch &amp;ndash; the creative child of the legendary &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Nicolas-Hayek-%281928-2010%29&quot;&gt;Late Nicolas George Hayek&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash; was a frontrunner in extending a cultural meaning to the brand in India by launching a Manish Arora Capsule Collection. Mr. Hayek, who was always ahead of his times, knew that this trend will follow, and took a far-sighted decision in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Jimmy Choo Shaan collection&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/jimmy%20choo%20india%20shaan%20collection.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 936px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A part of the Shaan collection by Jimmy Choo.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brand communication &amp;ndash; gets a shot in the arm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Such cultural respect gives luxury brand communication a long shot in the arm. Imagine how powerful a story brands can create in their communication strategies. A compelling brand storytelling is the key differentiator in modern day luxury communication. A myopic view could be to review and assess the success of such a curated collection basis the sales it generates. It is not about how quickly the 99 pieces of the limited edition Raymond Weil River Ganges collection would sell out, it&amp;rsquo;s more about how powerful a brand story they can create around it. That would result in a top-of-the-mind brand recall and cascading sales of other products of the brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A future perspective &amp;ndash; for luxury brands to ponder&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without getting into an overkill zone or compromising the core DNA values, western luxury brands can continue launching small curated India specific collections, paying tribute to rich cultural symbols of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from products, brands can play with visual merchandising in stores by assimilating cultural symbols that do not dilute the luxury image of the brand, and is still in sync with values and brand salience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff3366;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;...the most critical element is a sustained soft skills training of retail staff on &amp;ldquo;Maharaja Treatment&amp;rdquo; to everyone who enters the store without bias and judgement.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Experiential communication and marketing is the next big thing for luxury brands. Brands may ponder over assimilating some local cultural elements into their global umbrella experiential offering to consumers. Can Louis Vuitton or Hermes organise a ramp show with Bollywood celebrities with the iconic Taj Mahal in the back drop or display products in branded boats on River Ganges? Dior did take the cake with its magnificently staged Fall 2023 collection presentation in front of Gateway of India this year. Can Harley Davidson engage riders for a ride across India ending at India Gate to pay homage to martyrs? An Omega or Rolex can think completely out of the box and organise a &amp;ldquo;India or Bharat Darshan&amp;rdquo;, a visit to key iconic cultural spots for only the Gen Z or millennials brand owners. Youngsters may be selected basis a brand competition. This will not only create a brand story and a buzz, but also help build an emotional connect. Be a part of the India heritage and story to bridge emotions. That&amp;rsquo;s what luxury is all about.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Indians hail from the land of the Maharajas. It&amp;rsquo;s a society with high power nuances, and therefore the latent expectations of wealthy Indians is to get a Maharaja kind of treatment inside a luxury store. So build such flagship stores. Technical knowledge, brand history, staff personality and communication requirements are a &amp;lsquo;given&amp;rsquo;. But the most critical element is a sustained soft skills training of retail staff on &amp;ldquo;Maharaja Treatment&amp;rdquo; to everyone who enters the store without bias and judgement. One would be the buyer and the other may be a potential consumer or a brand ambassador once they leave the store premises.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The impact of culture on buying motivations for luxury brands is significant. With Bain &amp;amp; Co Report 2022 projecting a $200bn Indian luxury market by 2030, which would be 3.5 times of its current size, brand custodians must quickly go back to the drawing board to draw a strategic graph towards extending a cultural meaning through curated capsule product collections and culturally assimilated communication with compelling brand storytelling and experiential marketing to connect emotionally with the Indian consumer. Aim not only for sales, but also for ushering in a brand love and addiction among your most loyal clients.&lt;/p&gt;

			&#039;content&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luxury Dining&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/daylight-dining-drink-2363807.jpg&quot; style=&quot;float:left; height:667px; margin:5px 7px; width:500px&quot; /&gt;Luxury is that elusive quality that cannot be measured purely by a price tag. We believe it lies in qualities, that may be less tangible, but important, like craftsmanship, uniqueness and a quest for perfection. Hence our motto, &amp;#39;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Unique, The Exquisite and The Rare.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#39;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luxury is usually considered to be only the domain of the affluent, but we feel that everyone can revel in the luxury of having that one unique thing which no one else has. Luxury goods are no longer unreachable objects, at least in terms of money. It is, but, a quest of finding that one perfectly made handbag, haute dress, fine wine or brilliant jewel, that you wouldn&amp;#39;t find anywhere else.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;India is fast becoming a destination for luxury. The world is looking at us, and we are also welcoming brands which were, till now, the prerogative of the West. India itself has the best of luxury to offer, with a 500 year heritage of indulging in all that is fine, perfect and refined. &lt;strong&gt;We know our luxury.&lt;/strong&gt; The numerous Bentleys and glittering Cartier creations that our Maharajas owned are proof enough of that.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since starting in India, we have spread our wings and reach to America, where the consciousness for fine luxury is becoming more mature and specific.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luxury is not just a high-end shopping experience. It is a lifestyle, a culture and an art. It is the past, present and future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Enjoy it through our online magazine...&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Online is whizzing past print!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You don&amp;rsquo;t need us to tell you that luxury consumers are increasingly depending on the online medium to understand and be updated about luxury. LuxuryFacts has achieved credibility in this segment and readers trust our opinion. Having a much larger, but filtered, reach as compared to any print magazine, LuxuryFacts can communicate your brand values to the apt consumer in the correct way.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Relied on by the Indian luxury industry&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Indian luxury industry knows that LuxuryFacts can be depended on to project them fittingly. To communicate about a luxury brand, good design, classy language and ease of reading is required &amp;ndash; all of which LuxuryFacts provides perfectly! We give luxury brands the atmosphere they deserve&amp;hellip;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Limited advertisers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Not only is LuxuryFacts particular what brands it covers on the website, we are also particular about which brands advertise on LuxuryFacts. You won&amp;rsquo;t find the same space hosting an advertisement by a luxury brand and a mass brand. Also, we focus on limited number of advertisers at a certain term. Competitive brands are not advertised together at the same time. Be assured that your brand will get the maximum attention at a time on LuxuryFacts.&lt;/p&gt;

Once shipped, you will be sent the tracking details to see your package reaching you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Posted on: October 10, 2011&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ever wonder what a truly Zen experience feels like? You don&amp;rsquo;t have to wonder anymore. Don&amp;rsquo;t be surprised to find it now in your favourite city &amp;ndash; Mumbai &amp;ndash; at the Areopagus Spa.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_Buddharoom-(24).jpg&quot; width=&quot;700&quot; height=&quot;467&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;7&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Who does not love professional perks, especially when they come in form of a massage! My aching soul found the address and promptly fixed an appointment for this review hoping for rejuvenation and nirvana. Tucked in a by-lane of Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s jewellery district Opera House on Huges Road, Areopagus Spa couldn&amp;rsquo;t have a better location. After all the store hopping between A.Jaffe, Orra, TBZ, the after-effects of the long search and battle for that right ring, a lady might find some respite in a spa uplifting her enough to send her on yet another round of hunting and searching.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The team at Areopagus Spa describes it as a luxurious escape from the hustle bustle of urbanization. Its services and experience are designed to transport you into a world of tranquility and stillness, giving you a feeling of oriental warmth and hospitality which are the foundations of the Japanese culture.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;On arrival, you are greeted by a polite girl, who promptly whips out some refreshing drink and assists you with the menu of services they offer. Lit a bit too bright for a spa, the reception&amp;rsquo;s d&amp;eacute;cor in deep wood and reds promise the delights that lay within each chamber. After understanding the different session&amp;rsquo;s benefits and perceiving how nice I would feel as soon as this evening ended, I selected the house speciality, the Japanese Zen Shiatsu massage which promised to de-stress hormones, diminish pain and spurt the immune system.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The masseuse led me to my private room with its attached steam room, handed over clothes resembling a karate gear, and vanished into thin air. Clothes? What am I missing here? Not bad for those who have massage anxiety each time they imagine the horror of revealing their &amp;lsquo;EVERYTHING&amp;rsquo; to a stranger &amp;ndash; who is so judging them! Being scarred with my own massage table stories which still haunt me, I happily slipped into what was an oversized Karate-ish outfit in colours I certainly did not like. But who cared when you have 120 minutes of stress busting therapy coming up?&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_couplesroom-(13).jpg&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; height=&quot;600&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; hspace=&quot;7&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; /&gt;Now honestly massage has always been about me being sprawled on the table smothered in oils with a &amp;lsquo;WonderHands&amp;rsquo; person working their skills and making me never wanting the moment to end. So how different would a Japanese therapy be when the end goal is release and relaxation? I suppose only better, especially if it has &amp;lsquo;Zen&amp;rsquo; attached into the name. I couldn&amp;rsquo;t be more mistaken. Starting with your legs working upwards, the Shiatsu employs application of pressure all over the body and along the energy pathways in line with the traditional Chinese acupuncture. It helps stimulate the innate healing abilities of the body and reduce symptoms of illness to regain strength and vitality.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Simply put, it was a synchronized wrestling match between my lifelessly stiff body and the masseuse who used joint movement and stretching to increase flexibility as well as provide better access to the energy paths. You will be moved, pulled, twisted and turned till you start feeling each and every fibre in your being. The therapist was kind enough to keep asking every now and then if the pressure levels need be increased or reduced. The Zen Shiatsu might not send you in a state of &amp;lsquo;Zen&amp;rsquo; while the massage is going on, considering the degree of pressure and stretching practiced by your therapist, who uses each and every limb to give you a kick start (quite literally) making you feel all &amp;lsquo;Jello&amp;rsquo;.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;There were moments somewhere between the shoulder twisting and the arm pulling when&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I thought to myself &amp;ldquo;What have I done to deserve this?&amp;rdquo; But I assure you it will end exactly when the two hours are up. You are given an option of slipping into the steam room and shower before you finally limp your way out of the massage room, back to the lobby, where a steaming hot green tea awaits you.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The massage might seem very unconventional for the uninitiated, but be rest assured, the&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Zen-moment arrives the moment you sip on the tea, suddenly feeling parts of the body you never thought you had. The release of toxins and muscle stiffness seem to evaporate.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Areopagus claims to be a pioneer of high-end Japanese day spas in India with multiple franchises run outlets. Each of Mumbai&amp;rsquo;s four branches assures you of consistent quality and hospitality. At the core of their service is the art they specialize in - a combination of Japanese and Chinese massage therapies.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;In addition to Shiatsu, more pampering rejuvenating services are listed here. Try the&amp;nbsp;420-minute Grounding Therapy which blends stretching, use of finger knuckles and elbows with hot towels and oil, to hit every muscle and nerve in your body. You can even double the pleasure of healing with two masseuses massaging in the Ritual Massage which lasts for two hours. In addition to this, Cupid Lovers massage sessions are worth exploring if you and your partner want to indulge simultaneously. I am certain the Yuki Energy and the Luxurious Facial sessions might be just the thing I might revisit them for another city-stress related breakdown!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Buongthangmawi Khawbung, Director of Areopagus Spa, is confident that Indians are ready for the next level of luxury spa experience &amp;ndash; this time from the orient. &amp;ldquo;Touch is such a powerful healer that it can move mountains,&amp;rdquo; explains Ms Khawbung of her art form. It is certainly true as well&amp;hellip;&lt;/div&gt;

			&#039;largedescription&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;p&gt;By: Bindu Gopal Rao&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 16, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;PRS Oberoi&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/PRS%20Oberoi%20tribute.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 421px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Someone who steered the Oberoi Group of hotels to be on the international luxury travellers&amp;rsquo; map, P.R.S. Oberoi, passed away on November 14 aged 94. A deserved winner of the Padma Vibhushan, India&amp;#39;s second-highest civilian award, he was fondly called Biki. The younger son of the founder of the group, Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, he took over the reins of the company after his father passed, and made it India&amp;rsquo;s first international luxury brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Known to be a stickler for perfection, he did his education from India, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Despite his diminutive frame, it was his personality that was massive and commanded respect among his peers and within the organisation, as he worked tirelessly to transform his father&amp;#39;s East Indian Hotels company into a brand known for its immersive luxury experiences.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Having been privy to observing his father in close quarters as he navigated the hospitality space, Mr. Oberoi had famously admitted that this was the only business he knew. After all, he had the luxury of being able to travel the world and stay at the world&amp;rsquo;s leading hotels to understand what luxury really meant. And he used this to transform the group to what it is today. The Oberoi Hotels &amp;amp; Resorts and Trident brands have 32 luxury hotels and two river cruise ships in seven countries as of today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The patriarch of the brand, he started The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development at New Delhi in 1967. Apart from being known for his attention to detail, (the degree of lighting, placing of switches, height of the bathtub or the curtain&amp;rsquo;s exact colour), he built, among other properties, the Rajvilas, Jaipur, Wildflower Hall, Shimla, Udaivilas, Udaipur, Amarvilas, Agra, and Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore, in India. Prioritising being the best over being the biggest, he transformed the hospitality landscape of the country in his six decade long career.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Known to never cut corners, he was a stickler for doing things right. Would you believe it? He would send his breakfast back if the egg yolk of his egg did not have the perfect sunrise yellow? And further, he would ensure that the entire batch of eggs would not be used for other guests either? Well, this was his example of being a &amp;ldquo;fussy guest&amp;rdquo; which just goes to show his passion and his need for his staff to be perfect &amp;ldquo;99.5%&amp;rdquo; of the time. It&amp;rsquo;s a trait that has well and truly rubbed off into the staff at the Oberoi Hotels even today.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;He was a class act. Period.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In fact, his deep-rooted knowledge of the nuances of hospitality was what made him stand out. Who else would close a flagship hotel like the Oberoi in Delhi for two years to give it a more contemporary luxury look? He believed that &amp;ldquo;hospitality is all about common sense which is hard to find&amp;rdquo;. He knew everything &amp;ndash; from the storage capacity of underground water tanks in his hotels, the location of the original load bearing beams of his hotels to F&amp;amp;B margins and room service standards in all his hotels.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Probably the best way to remember him is in the words of industrialist Anand Mahindra whose tribute to him on X read, &amp;ldquo;He made &amp;lsquo;Oberoi&amp;rsquo; a global byword for the Indian luxury hospitality experience and the first to put an Indian hotel on the very top of global rankings. He also rallied the group heroically but quietly post the 26/11 attack on their Mumbai flagship. He was a class act. Period.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A pioneer, a visionary, and a legend, P.R.S. Oberoi is irreplaceable.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Greece islands&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/evangelos-mpikakis-greece-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A luxurious trip allows you to indulge in world-class amenities and high-standard services. Sure, they come with a hefty price tag, but they are worth every penny spent.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Greece is one of those destinations that offers the perfect setting for a luxurious getaway. It&amp;#39;s home to picturesque islands with all-inclusive resorts and some of the world&amp;#39;s finest restaurants serving delectable Greek cuisine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to splurge on your next holiday to Greece, here are some of the best Greek islands for luxury vacations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Crete&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As the largest of the Greek Islands, Crete is a Mediterranean jewel that has it all. From &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.planetware.com/greece/top-rated-beaches-on-crete-gr-1-11.htm&quot;&gt;pristine beaches&lt;/a&gt; to gorgeous weather and the archaeological treasures of the Minoans, Crete can offer a holiday you&amp;#39;ll never forget. And if you&amp;#39;re seeking a luxury vacation, the island will delight you with its five-star resorts and the finest restaurants serving traditional, mouth-watering Cretan cuisine.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Boasting picture-perfect beaches and rugged coastlines, Crete is an incredibly stunning island, perfect for relaxing and enjoying water sports like snorkelling and kayaking. For mesmerising scenery that will stay in your memory forever, head over to the warm shallows of Balos Lagoon on Crete&amp;#39;s northwest tip. The gorgeous lagoon is one of the island&amp;#39;s most photographed beaches and is a favourite for tourists.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nature lovers and adventure seekers can hike the trails of Samaria Gorge, marvel at the steep walls of the Iron Gates, and come across a wild goat found only in Crete.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;No visit to Crete is complete without checking out its archaeological marvels, especially the Palace of Knossos, a Minoan ruin most famous for its connection to Greek mythology. Venture into the beautiful Spinaloga island, where you&amp;#39;ll find the relics of a Venetian fortress from the 16th century and learn of its captivating past.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Corfu&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Corfu Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/calin-stan-corfu-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 402px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It captivates visitors with its picturesque beaches, turquoise blue waters, ancient ruins, and charming villages. A true paradise for luxury lovers, Corfu offers a range of activities for every visitor.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

It&amp;#39;s a UNESCO World Heritage Site with pretty cobblestone streets, magnificent squares, and vibrant buildings. You&amp;#39;ll love meandering through its narrow streets, stumbling upon numerous captivating historical landmarks, including the iconic Spianada Square.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Nestled on a rocky outcrop along the north-western section of Corfu, Angelokastro, or the Angel Castle, is a must-see. The magnificent castle is a testament to the legacy of the Byzantine era, dating back to the 7th century, and has withstood the test of time.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Mykonos&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Mykonos Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/johnny-africa-mykonos-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 525px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mykonos is one of the most stunning islands in Greece that can make for a perfect destination for a luxurious and fun-filled getaway. Known for its vibrant &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.theblondeabroad.com/mykonos-greece-beach-and-party-guide/&quot;&gt;nightlife scene&lt;/a&gt;, Mykonos will entertain you with its fancy beach clubs, bars, and restaurants. Exceedingly beautiful, Mykonos is a slice of paradise on Earth and a must-visit for anyone seeking luxurious travel experiences in Greece.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best way to start your adventure in Mykonos is to stroll through the picturesque alleys of the Old Town. Begin from Mykonos Town and into Little Venice, a charming seaside area full of restaurants, shops, and cafes. Here, you&amp;#39;ll stumble upon famous attractions like the impressive whitewashed Paraportiani Church and some great restaurants to indulge in gyros and other traditional Greek specialties.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A more exciting way to discover Mykonos is on a quad bike. Venture into the outskirts to uncover hidden gems and remote villages to soak up the local culture. Keep your eyes peeled on some incredible viewpoints, perfect for taking stunning Instagram-worthy snaps!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While exploring Mykonos, don&amp;#39;t miss the chance to visit the traditional windmills of Kato Mili on the western side of Mykonos Town. Here, you&amp;#39;ll find the iconic windmills looking out into the deep blue sea.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Santorini&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Santorini Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/tania-mousinho-greece-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 933px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While Santorini is a popular destination for a honeymoon and couples&amp;#39; romantic getaways, it has something for every visitor, especially those seeking a luxurious getaway. Here, you can relax and swim on its volcanic black sand beaches, dine at clifftop restaurants with breathtaking views, marvel at spectacular sunsets, or take a small ship cruise to discover the caldera and enjoy snorkelling and other water activities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There&amp;#39;s no doubt that Santorini is breathtaking, but you can best enjoy its views from the water. So, book a &lt;a href=&quot;https://unforgettablegreece.com/greek-island-cruises&quot;&gt;small luxury Greek cruise&lt;/a&gt; and set sail along Santorini&amp;#39;s coast to enjoy a closer look at the magnificent white caldera.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to relax at the beach, head to Kamari Beach. It&amp;#39;s one of the best beaches on the island, famous for its distinct volcanic black sand. After a day on the beach, head out to the small village of Kamari, where you&amp;#39;ll find bars, restaurants, and cafes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Kefalonia&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Kefalonia Greece&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/george-prentzas-kefalonia-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 277px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Made famous by the film Captain Corelli&amp;#39;s Mandolin, Kefalonia is a picturesque island that&amp;#39;s a perfect choice for your luxury holiday in Greece. It&amp;#39;s the largest of the Ionian Islands, boasting gorgeous beaches, charming fishing villages, and unspoiled scenery. Since the island is seldom busy, you can find plenty of areas on its beaches to stretch out and relax in the shade.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your trip to Kefalonia is all about discovering stunning nature. Active travellers can hike up Mount Ainos and explore the national park of over 3000 hectares, which is the hub of the island&amp;#39;s biodiversity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Venture into the stunning &lt;a href=&quot;https://theworldtravelguy.com/melissani-cave-lake/&quot;&gt;Melissani Lake in Karavomylos&lt;/a&gt;. The lake lies in a cave with an opening at the top and looks enchanting during the day when the sun shines through to the opening, illuminating the bright turquoise waters!&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 16, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are many jewelers in the world. It&amp;rsquo;s full of them. Coming from the land of India, especially, there is no dearth of jewelers. However, not many can claim to design jewelry that is artistic, or thrilling. There are some cuts, shapes, and curves, that are evergreen, always in demand. And most jewelers prefer to stick to those classic pieces and stone. The business of jewelry is, after all, expensive.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There are a tiny few jewelers, however, that manage to break the mold, and offer something that is so breathtaking, that it&amp;rsquo;s almost unbelievable. And this year, publisher Rizzoli, decided to put some of them in the spotlight.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The Art of David Webb &amp;ndash; Jewelry and Culture&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The Art of David Webb coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20Of%20David%20Webb%20cover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 870px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A part of my daily schedule includes sifting through numerous press releases, many of them from auction houses. A regular feature in many of the jewelry auctions is David Webb.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This jeweler from the 1940s was a visionary for his times. Even today, his jewelry stands out among a sea of regular looking pieces. He created life-like monkeys, cats and the legendary zebras. He used materials like coral, abalone pearl, azurmalachite, which were a novelty in the period he lived in. He hammered gold to give them bold shapes; he mixed colors in inconceivable combinations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The Art of David Webb coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20of%20David%20Webb%20pg72-73.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 453px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In a 1963 article for New York Herald Tribune, Mr. Webb asked boldly that why jewelry can&amp;rsquo;t be considered as art? Why can&amp;rsquo;t it be hung on the walls like art? Today, his musing has come true. His jewelry is certainly considered art, and museums love to showcase his jewelry.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This book takes you through David Webb&amp;rsquo;s world in a very clever way. Not only does the author Ruth Peltason walks you through his ideas, sketches and innovation, but does so in juxtaposition to the world he was living in. She compares &amp;ndash; or rather connects &amp;ndash; Mr. Webb&amp;rsquo;s works with dresses by Yves-Saint Laurent, architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, photographs by Edward Curtis, and even a Roman mosaic uncovered in Pompeii. It&amp;rsquo;s a wonderful way to perceive jewelry, and culture. A certain page turner.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Francesca Amfitheatrof &amp;ndash; Fantastical Jewels&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fantastical Jewels coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Francesca%20Amfitheatrof%20cover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 841px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For a brand that started in 1854, Louis Vuitton is a fairly recent entrant into the world of high jewelry. But it&amp;rsquo;s certainly not a na&amp;iuml;ve one. It knows the game, as does Francesca Amfotheatrof, the Artistic Director Watches and Jewellery at Louis Vuitton.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A design maverick, Ms. Amfitheatrof was born in Tokyo, and raised in Asia, America, Russia and Europe. She studied at three London institutions - Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts and Royal College of Art. She has previously led the jewelry design team at Tiffany &amp;amp; Co. She has also been senior jewelry designer for UK royal jeweler Asprey &amp;amp; Garrard; designed for Chanel, Balenciaga, Fendi and Marni; and was the curator of Gucci Museo in Florence.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fantastical Jewels coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Fantastical%20Jewels%201.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 890px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Her designs for Louis Vuitton have been contemporary, clean, bold, and spellbinding. &amp;ldquo;I was not schooled in the art of Haute Joailleire. I believe it is one of the reasons my designs feel modern and relevant,&amp;rdquo; she says in the book.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That does seem to be true. Even though her inspirations have been ancient, her creations have managed to cradle the balance between past, present and future. She has earned her name in the Hall of Fame due to her ability to create truly beautiful pieces that are adaptable to your interpretation.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Fantastical Jewels coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Fantastical%20Jewels%203.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 887px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book, organized by the collection, begins with the high jewellery &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Louis-Vuitton-announces-Cate-Blanchett-as-its-newe&quot;&gt;Spirit collection&lt;/a&gt;, which was launched last year. Immerse yourself with 3D sketches, behind the making photos and close-up shots of high carat gems. Ms. Amfitheatrof delves into the inspiration of each piece, while sharing some lesser known details. The Liberty necklace, for example, has a hidden message behind. The Destiny necklace has a 10+ carat ruby that can be removed to be placed in a ring, and can be replaced with a diamond. There&amp;rsquo;s more to devour.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book feels like a journey into the mystical world of Ms. Amfitheatrof. Mood board images, drawings, celebrity shots, all combine to give the book a true Louis Vuitton feeling &amp;ndash; a feeling of travel.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;A Bit of Universe &amp;ndash; The Jewelry of Luz Camino&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luz Camino coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20cover.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 923px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Luz Camino is &amp;ndash; perhaps &amp;ndash; the best kept secret of the jewelry world. And that&amp;rsquo;s just as well, because massification won&amp;rsquo;t suit her vision and creativity. A person of incredible talent, dexterity and imagination, she doesn&amp;rsquo;t have a Wikipedia profile, with only about 3000 followers on Instagram. That does not, however, speak about her products. It merely speaks about her dedication to her craft &amp;ndash; to jewelry making.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This book gives an ode to this incredible Spanish master jeweler, who was the first woman in Spain to qualify as a goldsmith, or &lt;em&gt;sacador de fuego&lt;/em&gt; (one who extracts from the fire). A short foreword by designer Carolina Herrera is followed by an insightful essay on the jeweler by Clare Phillips &amp;ndash; the Elizabeth Gage Curator of Jewellery at the Victoria &amp;amp; Albert Museum.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luz Camino coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20p91.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 673px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And then comes pages upon pages of Ms. Camino&amp;rsquo;s jewelry, which is spellbinding, captivating and pure. Her jewelry is indeed a bit of universe, as she takes inspiration from even insignificant moments of nature. Who could have thought that a necklace can be created to recreate melting ice cubes? Or the curving form of pencil shavings could be cast in gold? Only Ms. Camino I believe.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The jeweler innovates with any and every kind of material. Brittle mica is combined with tourmalines, irregular opal is used with resin. There are beautiful Poppies and Navelwort brooches to wonder over. There is the magnificent Nebula, composed of multiple gems, artfully orchestrated to showcase the eponymous wonder of cosmos. The Spanish Dancer Fish brooch, Grapes earrings, Blackberries brooch &amp;ndash; all are as true to the original as can be.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Luz Camino coffee table book&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20p168-169.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 470px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At the end of the book is where you get a glimpse into the woman that is Luz Camino. She talks about three incidents that shaped her career, and her grandchildren. Her son pens a moving tribute to the person he works with now.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The book does not have much text, instead offering a peek into Ms. Camino&amp;rsquo;s body of work. Most of the jewels have never been seen by the larger world, and they are a treat indeed. A &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Beat-the-Heat-Cool-Off-Looking-at-Gems-at-These-Tw&quot;&gt;rare exhibition&lt;/a&gt; had happened in Manhattan recently, at the Hispanic Society Museum. This book, therefore, is something I will treasure for years to come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The art fairs are back in town and we&amp;rsquo;re out and about to see what&amp;rsquo;s trending for collectors and those curious about art and design. Follow along!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Trunks Company Bar Trunk&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Trunks%20Company%20Bar%20Trunk.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 5px 7px; width: 700px; height: 392px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Bar Trunk by Trunks Company.&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We stopped in to The Art Show, one of the longest-running art fairs in the country and put on by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). For its 130th edition, 57 booths featured solo exhibitions, including standout presentations by Tavares Strachan with Marian Goodman Gallery (New York), Joel Mesler with Cheim &amp;amp; Read (New York), Sheila Hicks with Sikkema Jenkins &amp;amp; Co. (New York), Roy Lichtenstein with Castelli Gallery (New York) and Kiki Smith with Pace Gallery (New York &amp;amp; Los Angeles). I was particularly interested in the George Sand (French writer and artist) watercolor series presented by the Jill Newhouse Gallery.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
For anyone who&amp;rsquo;s interested in top tier furniture, fine art and d&amp;eacute;cor, the annual Salon Art &amp;amp; Design fair is one of the most anticipated fairs of the year with its high style exhibitors and their expertly curated settings in the categories of art and design. Held at the historic and huge Park Avenue Armory on Manhattan&amp;rsquo;s Upper East Side, I always feel as if I&amp;rsquo;m crashing Elle D&amp;eacute;cor and Architectural Digest magazine photoshoots!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fifty of the world&amp;rsquo;s finest galleries who present design and art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries encompassing historical, modern and contemporary furniture and groundbreaking design exhibited this year. It&amp;rsquo;s a chic and vibrant mix of genres and styles, and the only fair of this caliber in these categories. For the first time, Salon integrated a select group of special design and jewelry exhibitions on the floor, ranging from exclusive capsule collections from individual designers to smaller curations from galleries such as ABASK.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;ABASK booth Salon + Art Design &quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/ABASk%20booth%20salon%20fair.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paritosh Mehta of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Making-the-Box-Trunks-Company-Jaipurs-Take-on-an&quot;&gt;Trunks Company&lt;/a&gt; (founded in 2011) is a first-time exhibitor. Of the company&amp;rsquo;s Rajputana Bar Cabinet Trunk, Library Bar Trunk and Chess Bar Cabinet, he said, &amp;ldquo;We have fused an innate romanticism and art with intricate craftsmanship to treasure one&amp;rsquo;s prized possessions, passions and emotions. We continue to draw cultural inspiration from Jaipur&amp;rsquo;s timeless heritage, and our journey is an ever-evolving canvas with intricate details, depth, and layers.&amp;rdquo; These masterpieces merge Indian culture with craftsmanship and are made in the company&amp;rsquo;s headquarters in the regal city of Jaipur, India.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
On the flip side, we took in The Other Art Fair, presented by Saatchi Art, which took place in Brooklyn the same weekend, with affordable artworks from more than 120 artists from around the globe, with more than half of exhibitors local to the New York metropolitan area. Throughout the weekend, fair visitors mingled among art works, the artists, and also enjoyed drinks and delicious bites, with live DJ sets, unique installations and hands-on workshops. The Other Art Fair fosters an inclusive environment where art is for everyone. Placing an emphasis on community, the Brooklyn edition supports and promotes local talent with numerous New York-based partners, brands, artists, organizations and more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not considered an art fair, but worth mentioning, is the upcoming auction of legendary musician Prince&amp;rsquo;s iconic wardrobe and accessories presented by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/details/662-the-fashion-of-prince-auction/&quot;&gt;RR Auctions&lt;/a&gt;. Attending the preview of &amp;ldquo;The Fashion of Prince&amp;rdquo; at the newly refurbished Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan, we took a closer look at the glamorous coats, the sensational white ruffled blouse, plus shoes and costume jewelry, all part of the collection being auctioned this month. If you&amp;rsquo;re looking to spice up your wardrobe, bid now!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 15, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Amalfi Coast Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/mahdiye-jv-amalfi%20coast%202-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Italy is home to fantastic destinations that lure visitors seeking luxurious experiences. If you&amp;#39;re keen to discover the country&amp;#39;s incredible wine culture, consider a wine-tasting tour of Tuscany. Those who have a fondness for car racing can visit Formula 1 in Monza. If you&amp;#39;re keen on discovering the nation&amp;#39;s rich history and culture, a private tour of Rome would be perfect. Meanwhile, if you&amp;#39;re dreaming of a holiday by the sea, yachting around the incredibly stunning Amalfi Coast is the ideal getaway. For foodies, taking a cooking class in Bologna will suit you best.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;To know more about these, here are the top 5 luxurious things to do in Italy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Go Wine Tasting in Tuscany&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Tuscany vineyards Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/johny-goerend-tuscany%20vineyard-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Wine lovers should pay a visit to the stunning wine region of Tuscany. As one of the world&amp;#39;s top destinations for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.foodandwine.com/wine/best-wineries-visit-tuscany&quot;&gt;wine lovers&lt;/a&gt;, Tuscany is the best place to discover the finest Italian wines and learn more about the region&amp;#39;s wine industry on a wine-tasting tour. Aside from learning about wine, your tour will take you past picturesque vineyards surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful scenery.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Chianti is one of the most renowned Italian wine varieties. You will find the vineyards of Chianti all over the Tuscany region. However, Greve in Chianti is the best place for a wine-tasting tour. It&amp;#39;s less than an hour from Florence, home to gorgeous castles and several miles of stunning vineyards that change colours according to the season. You will find many excellent accommodations in the Greve in Chianti that offer a travel package that includes the accommodation and a wine-tasting tour, so you may want to take advantage of these.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you&amp;#39;re more into red wine, the charming city of Montepulciano is the place to be. It&amp;#39;s famous for its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a dry, full-bodied red wine. The city is also a fun place to explore, home to impressive churches and ancient towers.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Visit the Formula 1&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Monza Italy race track&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/isaac-maffeis-monza%20race%20track-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Fans of the F1 race should check out the Autodromo Nazionale race track near Monza, about 15 miles north of Milan. Situated within the Royal Villa of Monza Park, the circuit features a lush woodland setting, which makes it even more interesting to see. The Autodromo Nazionale race track has consistently been a beloved choice for Formula 1 drivers and race enthusiasts alike. To ensure you don&amp;#39;t miss out, its advisable to book &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.grandstandtickets.com/italian-f1-tickets/&quot;&gt;tickets to the Italian Formula 1&lt;/a&gt; races in advance!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The best way to reach Monza is to travel by car from Milan. You can rent one from the city and use GPS to navigate. Depending on your pace, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the place. You can park the car in one of the car parks within the circuit, costing around 25 euros per day. If driving is not an option, you can take a taxi, which costs around 45 euros. It&amp;#39;s also possible to get to Monza by train. The circuit is close to two train stations.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While many would come to Monza on a day trip from Milan, it&amp;#39;s worth spending a day or two in the city. After the F1 race, you can explore the city. You&amp;#39;ll find the historic centre a fun place to stroll around, where you&amp;#39;ll find places of interest like the Duomo of Monza and its Museum of Treasures.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Take a Private Tour of Rome&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Rome Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/caleb-miller-rome-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 464px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want a seamless and well-organised trip to Rome, a private tour of Rome seems like an excellent option. Italy&amp;#39;s capital is home to some of the world&amp;#39;s most fascinating historical sites, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Roman Forum. When you book &lt;a href=&quot;https://touritaly.com/&quot;&gt;private tours in Italy&lt;/a&gt;, expert guides can customise your itinerary, ensuring you get the most out of your stay without having to prepare every detail yourself and allowing you to sit back, relax, and explore the best of the city.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As one of Italy&amp;#39;s most popular tourist destinations, Rome welcomes thousands of tourists each day. As a result, many of the tourist sites can get crowded. Another advantage of a private tour is that you will get access to the tourist sites earlier in the morning when it&amp;#39;s quieter. When the crowds arrive, you&amp;#39;ll enjoy snacks like gelato and other treats. You will then explore the streets of the ancient city as the evening rolls. Your guide will take you to places not many tourists know.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Yacht Around the Amalfi Coast&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Amalfi Coast Italy&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/alessio-bachetti-amalfi%20coast%201-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perched on cliffs with colourful villages cascading towards the turquoise sea, the Amalfi Coast is a fascinating place to explore on a yacht. As your boat sails through the scenic coast, you&amp;#39;ll marvel at the ornate villas, domed churches, and terraced vineyards that have been attracting visitors since ancient times.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A &lt;a href=&quot;https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/830/&quot;&gt;UNESCO World Heritage Site&lt;/a&gt;, the Amalfi Coast is a scenic stretch of coastline along southern Italy&amp;#39;s Campania region, about 60 kilometres south of Naples. It&amp;#39;s home to many picturesque towns and villages, connected by a cliff-hugging highway that&amp;#39;s one of the country&amp;#39;s most scenic driving routes.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;While yachting around the Amalfi Coast, make stops along the waterfront towns along the coast, from Positano in the west, and head east towards Praiano, Conca dei Marini, and Amalfi.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Amalfi is pretty diverse, with each town offering a different character. Positano exudes a glamorous vibe, with beach clubs, fancy restaurants, and upscale hotels. Some towns are more laidback, while others are still undiscovered.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;5.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Take a Cookery Class in Bologna&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bologna is known as the &amp;quot;food capital&amp;quot; of Italy, acclaimed for its rich culinary traditions and &lt;a href=&quot;https://adventurousmiriam.com/must-eat-in-bologna/&quot;&gt;world-renowned cuisine&lt;/a&gt;, which includes specialties such as rag&amp;ugrave; and handmade pasta. Joining a cooking class in Bologna is a fantastic idea if you want to learn about Italian cuisine and enhance your culinary skills. An expert will teach you how to make local cuisines that Bologna is known for, such as tortellini, lasagne, and mortadella.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Even if you have some knowledge about Italian cooking, joining a cooking class is a great way to enhance your cooking skills. It offers actual training in cooking, which can help improve your cooking abilities.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cooking classes are popular in Bologna, and there are many different classes to choose from. Some classes involve going to local markets to buy supplies before you cook. Classes are also often held in a friendly and engaging setting. Participants can bond with fellow learners and chefs via shared culinary experiences, making it an excellent opportunity to meet new people and share a memorable activity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;November 15, 2023: More than a decade after opening its first store in New Delhi, Cartier has expanded its presence to Mumbai, a city celebrated for its diverse culture intertwining entertainment, economy, and the arts. &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Why-are-Luxury-Brands-Gravitating-Towards-Indian-C&quot;&gt;Brand ambassador Deepika Padukone&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- attired elegantly in Louis Vuitton and Cartier jewels of course - inaugurated the store.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Boasting a legacy that extends over 175 years, Cartier stands as a brand intricately woven into the fabric of history and culture. In collaboration with Reliance Brands Ltd., the new store is an extension of this rich heritage.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Cartier Mumbai boutique&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/CARTIER%20MUMBAI%20BOUTIQUE%20DEEPIKA%20PADUKONE%201.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Speaking on the new store, Sophie Doireau, CEO of Cartier Middle East, India, Africa &amp;amp; Turkey, said, &amp;quot;India is a vibrant country with a dynamic and youthful population that is both inspired by its heritage and poised to innovate for a brighter future. The launch of our boutique in Mumbai is a testament to the Maison&amp;rsquo;s commitment to a long-lasting relationship that has had a significant impact on Cartier&amp;rsquo;s craftsmanship for over a century.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Cartier has ensured that their newest boutique in Mumbai at Jio World Plaza is a sensory experience for visitors. Stepping into the store, the brand&amp;#39;s iconic panther welcomes visitors through a vibrant patina mural in signature shades of red, gold, and beige. As patrons look up, they encounter a meticulously crafted ceiling inspired by various forms of lapidary art, reminiscent of opulent palaces in India. The warm tones of beige, gold, and champagne bronze envelop the spaces, creating an ambiance akin to a royal residence. The brand&amp;rsquo;s &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/From-India-Back-to-India&quot;&gt;association with the royals&lt;/a&gt; is reflected in every corner of the interior.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The regal aura extends into a niche room adorned in vibrant orange, a color revered for its associations with optimism, energy, knowledge, and purity. Transitioning to the Men&amp;#39;s Universe, a space exuding strength and bravery, features carmine-red hand-painted wallpaper. The bespoke wallpaper, adorned with lotus petals, symbolizes the energetic rhythm found in nature. Indian design takes center stage with seating embellished in traditional paisley motifs, inviting visitors to dream big, mirroring the adventurous spirit of the Cartier brothers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Continuing the immersive journey, the VIP Salon unveils an exclusive and discreet space adorned with coffered ceilings inspired by carved wooden Havelis architecture. The walls are adorned in colors like yellow for luck and success, and blue symbolizing life and power. Each element in this boutique reflects a harmonious fusion of Cartier&amp;#39;s timeless elegance and the cultural richness of Mumbai, creating an environment where art, history, and luxury converge seamlessly.&lt;/p&gt;

			&#039;articlename&#039; =&gt; &#039;Mary Tyler Moore&#039;s jewelry collection goes up for auction at Sotheby’s&#039;,
			&#039;largedescription&#039; =&gt; &#039;&lt;p&gt;November 15, 2023: For over 30 years, actress Mary Tyler Moore was married to cardiologist Robert Levine. Enduring challenges from brain tumors to diabetes, Dr. Robert Levine steadfastly supported her. Unfortunately, she passed away on January 25, 2017, at the age of 80. As per reports, she had been on a ventilator, and hospitalized with pneumonia resulting from complications related to her diabetes. Now, six years after her passing, Dr. Levine has decided to auction some of her beloved and precious jewelry pieces.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Bvlgari Gold Coin necklace&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Bulgari%20Gold%20Ancient%20Coin%20Ruby%20Diamond%20Monete%20Necklace.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Proceeds from the sale of 21 pieces will support The Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and restoring vision in individuals with diabetes, carrying forward Ms. Moore&amp;rsquo;s important work and honoring her enduring legacy. The actress had a remarkable career, securing seven Emmy awards, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe Awards, an Academy Award nomination, and a SAG Lifetime Achievement Award. The auction is a nod to her storied career.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Dr. Levine, Concept Creator and Chair of the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, said, &amp;ldquo;Mary was an optimist. She thought anything was possible. And though her near blindness from diabetic retinal disease stole her joy and independence, she worked tirelessly to support research to find diabetes cures so others would not have to suffer the same burdens she had. It was her dream that one day there would be a world without vision loss from diabetes, and the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative is committed to making that dream come true.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;diamond and pearl brooch&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Cultured%20Pearl%20Diamond%20Brooch.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Showcasing exquisite antique diamonds and contemporary pieces from renowned houses like Van Cleef &amp;amp; Arpels, Bulgari, and Tiffany and Co., the jewelry in this sale reflects Ms. Moore&amp;#39;s understated yet timeless elegance. Many pieces were gifted by her husband, Dr. Levine, whom she married in 1983. Noteworthy among them is a Bulgari &amp;#39;Monete&amp;#39; Necklace, featuring a Gold, Ancient Coin, Ruby, and Diamond pendant with an estimated value of $25,000 - $35,000.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Another highlight includes a pair of iconic silver bone cuffs by Elsa Peretti, while a cuff bracelet and earclips from Van Cleef &amp;amp; Arpels showcase the successful fusion of old and new. Inspired by ancient Etruscan design, the bracelet&amp;#39;s modern aesthetic is emblematic of the bold, sculptural trends of the 1970s.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Van Cleef Arpels Gold cuff&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Van%20Cleef%20Arpels%20Gold%20Cuff%20Bracelet%20Pair%20of%20Earclips.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 718px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Other highlights are a Cultured Pearl and Diamond Brooch ($2,500 &amp;ndash; 3,500); Audemars Piguet Gold and Diamond &amp;#39;Royal Oak&amp;#39; Wristwatch ($4,000 &amp;ndash; 6,000); Group of Gold &amp;#39;Mesh&amp;#39; Jewels, Elsa Peretti for Tiffany &amp;amp; Co ($4,000 &amp;ndash; 6,000) and Group of Diamond Jewels ($15,000 - 20,000). Every item echoes the love they cherished, such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch in gold and diamonds. Dr. Levine selected this timepiece as Ms. Moore&amp;rsquo;s eyesight declined, ensuring its large dial numbers enabled her to read the time.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The jewel pieces will open for bidding from November 28 till December 7.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 14, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Indonesia islands&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/fajruddin-mudzakkir-padar%20island%20pink%20beach-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 525px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Picturesque remote islands, iconic cultural attractions, and idyllic beaches - these are just some of the things to love about Indonesia. As the largest country in Southeast Asia, it has something to offer every traveller, including those who prefer to travel in luxury and style. Here are the top 5 luxurious things to do in Indonesia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;1.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Take a Private Tour of Komodo National Park&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Home to the beastly Komodo dragons, Komodo National Park is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/609/&quot;&gt;UNESCO World Heritage Site&lt;/a&gt; home to beautiful white sand beaches and incredible hiking trails. It&amp;#39;s also a popular site for diving, with colourful coral reefs and fascinating underwater scenes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Indonesia islands komodo dragon&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/mitch-hodiono-komodo%20dragon-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;One of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia is book a private tour of Komodo National Park. Aside from offering an exciting opportunity to witness the Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, your tour will take you on exciting adventures and visit many other islands, such as Kelor and Padar Island.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Padar Island is where you&amp;#39;ll find the most scenic viewpoint of Komodo. It&amp;#39;s a short hike to the top, taking about 30 minutes. When you get to the top, you&amp;#39;ll be in awe at the breathtaking views that resemble those of the Jurassic Park landscape.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Another thing to look forward to on your private tour of Komodo National Park is the opportunity to visit Pink Beach. The park is home to gorgeous pink sand beaches, among the most Instagrammable beaches in Indonesia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Komodo Dragon Trek is the highlight of your private tour of Komodo National Park. For this activity, you&amp;#39;ll do a short trek to search for the Komodo dragons. You will be with a park ranger to ensure a safer and more enjoyable trek.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;2.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Chill in an Infinity Pool Overlooking Bali&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Ubud Hanging Gardens Pool&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Ubud%20Hanging%20Gardens%20pool.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Bali is one of the few places in the world where you&amp;#39;ll find many resorts with incredible infinity pools overlooking stunning beaches, rice terraces, and majestic volcanoes. Thus, one of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia is to chill in an infinity pool.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You&amp;#39;ll find plenty of options when searching for infinity pools in Bali. But the most iconic is the Ubud Hanging Gardens. Surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, the well-known Bali resort has received several recognitions for being one of the world&amp;#39;s best swimming pools. Due to its popularity, they only allow guests staying at the resort to use the pool. If you are staying at a different resort, you can book the half-day package, which comes with lunch, a spa treatment, and access to the famous infinity pool.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Aside from the Ubud Hanging Gardens, you&amp;#39;ll find many other &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.asmallworld.com/collection&quot;&gt;luxurious hotels to stay in&lt;/a&gt; around Bali with beautiful outdoor spaces to relax in, especially if you don&amp;#39;t mind splurging. You can stay at Padma Resort Ubud, which has outstanding accommodations and excellent amenities, including an 89-metre infinity pool with panoramic views of the river valley.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;3.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Visit Orangutans in Borneo&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Borneo Island&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/dimitry-b-borneo-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Borneo is a Southeast Asian island shared by Indonesia and Malaysia. It lies along the South China Sea and is renowned for its incredible wildlife, including orangutans and proboscis monkeys. Thus, wildlife lovers should consider visiting orangutans in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thecrazytourist.com/25-best-things-to-do-in-borneo/&quot;&gt;Borneo&lt;/a&gt; on their luxury trip to Indonesia.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The majority of Borneo is Kalimantan, which is part of Indonesia. It&amp;#39;s a massive state consisting of five provinces. With a relatively high population of orangutans, it&amp;#39;s one of the best places to see orangutans in their natural habitat. You can book a private tour that will take you to Tanjung Puting National Park, set amidst a vast swathe of coastal tropical forests. It started as a reserve before being transformed into a national park in 1982.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you get to the park, you can take a small boat to explore and discover its natural wonders. Sailing gently along Sungai Sekonyer, keep your eyes peeled on the orangutans and other incredible animals, such as pot-bellied macaques and crocodiles.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your journey will begin at the Kumai River port before heading to the three main feeding stations of the park with a local guide. Here, you can witness semi-wild orangutans in their feeding sessions - a magnificent experience!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;4.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Yacht around the Indonesian Islands&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Yachting around Indonesia&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/denissa-devy-yachting%20indonesia-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 469px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Since Indonesia is home to many different islands, the best way to make the most of your holiday and visit as many places as you can is on an island-hopping tour. If you want to do it in &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.rainforestcruises.com/indonesia-cruises&quot;&gt;luxury and style&lt;/a&gt;, consider chartering a yacht. With thousands of places to explore, an exciting adventure awaits you in the country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your yacht adventure will take you to many picturesque islands, where you can learn about the local cultures, explore fascinating landscapes, and come face to face with incredible wildlife species. There are many different islands you can visit, depending on your interests.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you want to come face to face with the world&amp;#39;s biggest lizard, you can head to Komodo National Park. Those keen on exploring Indonesia&amp;#39;s underwater scenery can include snorkelling and diving on their itinerary, allowing them to discover fascinating marine life, from colourful fish to dolphins and whales.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;white-space: normal;&quot;&gt;5.&lt;span style=&quot;white-space:pre&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Go Diving in Raja Ampat&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Raja Ampat Indonesia&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/ernests-vaga-Raja%20Ampat-unsplash.jpg&quot; style=&quot;margin: 5px 7px; width: 700px; height: 466px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Diving in Raja Ampat is one of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia, especially for those interested in exploring underwater sceneries and coming face to face with fascinating marine life. A &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.backpackerboy.com/diving-in-raja-ampat-indonesia/&quot;&gt;bucket list destination for diving&lt;/a&gt; and is considered the world&amp;#39;s most marine biodiverse area.

&lt;p&gt;Posted on: November 14, 2023&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;This article has nothing to do with the classic book by Ernest Hemingway published in 1940. It&amp;rsquo;s just that, similar to Robert Jordan, the central character in the book, it&amp;rsquo;s time western luxury brands need to blow the old bridge of a global uniformity approach while introducing and managing luxury in India.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Dior Fall 2023 show in Mumbai&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/dior%20fall%202023%20mumbai.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 465px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dior&amp;#39;s Fall 2023 collection which was inspired by India, crafted in India, and showcased in India at Mumbai.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There was a strong belief among luxury custodians that global brands with a global identity cater to a global culture. I would not disagree because in past years western luxury brands were mostly bought by an elite few who were globe trotters. They were more in tune with a global culture, with individualist buying value motivations, like hedonism and for self-pleasure.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Recent years in India have witnessed a technological revolution, a democratization of luxury, increasing aspirations and disposable income among a much wider canvas of Indians. India is fundamentally a more collectivist society wherein the reference and peer group influence do matter. There is a fondness for western luxury brands because they are considered aspirational in the reference group that matter to a consumer. Though it&amp;rsquo;s an achievement-oriented society, there is respect for heritage, traditions, beliefs and faiths. It&amp;rsquo;s heartening to see that some luxury and fashion brands have appreciated the diversity and cultural intensity of India.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
What triggered this article was a Facebook post recently by the CEO of Ethos Watch Boutiques, titled &amp;ldquo;Raymond Weil &amp;amp; Ethos present the Ganges Limited Edition&amp;rdquo;. River Ganges, which springs from the Himalayas and flows across north India into the Bay of Bengal, is considered the holiest river of the land. Raymond Weil, in collaboration with Ethos, honoured the Ganges with a limited edition of 99 timepieces, thereby breathing a cultural meaning to the brand. It not about the sales and the revenue that these 99 pieces would generate. It&amp;rsquo;s about how big a brand story Raymond Weil and Ethos could weave into the mind space of Indians &amp;ndash; a strategic move to boost brand recall and sales thereon.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Raymond Weil Ganges collection&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/raymond-weil-ganges%20collection.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 560px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Raymond Weil&amp;#39;s Ganges Limited Edition.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Way back in 2009, Swatch Group was a frontrunner in extending a cultural meaning to their mother brand &amp;ldquo;Swatch&amp;rdquo;, when they tied up with a leading Indian fashion designer Manish Arora for a colourful, funky collection weaved around India&amp;rsquo;s Bollywood, pop, art and culture. Swatch globally built a compelling brand story which was communicated with both below and above the line media vehicles. The local team, with an extensive mall and PR strategy, followed by media campaigns, built a hype around the brand that resulted in a cascading effect on the sales of other Swatch products as well, and gave a boost to the image of the brand in the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
A master stroke was by Hermes &amp;ndash; another frontrunner in the luxury industry &amp;ndash; who in 2011 launched a limited edition Indian saree collection. By recreating the sari with its house codes, Hermes did manage to build an emotional connect with the Indian woman with this strategic cultural assimilation. They were priced between INR 3,00,000 to INR 4,00,000. With fabrics varying from cashmere to twill silk they were well within the affordability of the wealthy Indian.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
During this era, many big banner luxury brands came out with their own versions of India-inspired products. Some worked, while some bombed. And &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Luxury-Customisation---The-Secret-Ingredient&quot;&gt;not entirely everyone was convinced&lt;/a&gt; with the success of this strategy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Priyanka Chopra Jonas Bvlgari mangalsutra&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Priyanka%20Chopra%20bvlgari%20mangalsutra.jpg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Bvlgari&amp;#39;s Mangalsutra for Vogue India magazine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ten years later, luxury brands are back at the game. There was quite a bit of excitement when Bvlgari not only assigned &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Priyanka-Chopra-Jonas-becomes-the-newest-member-of&quot;&gt;Priyanka Chopra Jonas as its brand ambassador&lt;/a&gt;, but also launched the &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/A-Mangalsutra-for-the-Modern-Woman-Bvlgari-Stamps&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mangalsutra&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; - a symbol of union between the husband and wife. This simple, traditional necklace is an emotional symbol, and priceless for the Indian woman. Bvlgari cleverly managed to introduce a cultural meaning to their brand by combining tradition with modernity. The &lt;em&gt;mangalsutra&lt;/em&gt; is traditionally made with yellow gold and should incorporate black beads. Bvlgari, respecting the local nuances, crafted a smarter, modern version of the mangalsutra.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Louis Vuitton, in 2022, launched an &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Louis-Vuitton-launches-a-curated-footwear-collecti&quot;&gt;India exclusive capsule collection of fashion footwear&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;for the Indian wedding season, priced between INR 75,000 to INR 1,20,000. This curated collection showcased the Rani Pink line, a reflection of Rajasthan royalty, metallic gold Shake block heels, and Time Out sneakers to name a few. The entire collection was in honour of the heritage, colours, and celebratory nature of the &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Making-Big-Bang-Weddings-Unique-Post-Covid&quot;&gt;big fat Indian weddings&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Franck Muller launched a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.watchtime.in/articles/news/1328/franck-muller-unveils-new-india-limited-edition-watches&quot;&gt;150 pcs limited edition India specific collection&lt;/a&gt; in the later part of 2022. This was an exclusive tie up with one of India&amp;rsquo;s top luxury watch retailer - Kapoor Watch Company - on their 55th anniversary. The emerald hued and vintage-inspired sporty Vanguard watch came in two variants. It had the map of India etched on the back of the case. The steel and gold edition was priced at INR 11.7 lakhs and the rose gold edition cost the consumer INR 18.72 lakh.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Franck Muller India edition&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/franck%20muller%20india%20limited%20edition%20watch.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Franck Muller&amp;#39;s India limited edition collection.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Choo, in the first half of 2023, launched its &lt;a href=&quot;https://in.fashionnetwork.com/news/Jimmy-choo-launches-exclusive-india-collection-shaan-,1472238.html&quot;&gt;India exclusive &amp;lsquo;Shaan&amp;rsquo; collection&lt;/a&gt;, the colourful stilettos and pumps which did appeal to a large section who love their heels to be colourful, glossy and glamourous. Reiterating its India presence, Franck Muller now has a cricket inspired collection for India, as does &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Extra-Butter-and-Adidas-unite-for-their-first-ever&quot;&gt;Adidas in collaboration with Extra Butter&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Cultural meaning &amp;ndash; is it an advantage?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Similar to all collectivist societies, Indians too are influenced by their reference group&amp;rsquo;s choices. Status and conspicuous consumption, bandwagon and snob effects are still dominant luxury buying motivations. Western luxury brands are considered very aspirational for the wealthy Indians. But at the same time, Indians take pride and have a strong appreciation for their own art, culture and heritage. A working Indian woman might go to attend her office in western attire but wear a saree in her traditional festival or religious functions. Even Indian men wear ethnic clothing on festivals. India has a fine blend of tradition and modernity. So extending a cultural meaning to the brand in a dominant collectivist Indian society is, I guess, a clever and relevant strategic move by luxury brands that have adopted this route.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
There is no denying this fact that luxury products must remain uniform in their character and DNA across the world. Their signature is many a times an outcome of the creator&amp;rsquo;s genius. But launching a limited edition India specific collection never disturbs the applecart of global uniformity and identity. Swatch &amp;ndash; the creative child of the legendary &lt;a href=&quot;https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Nicolas-Hayek-%281928-2010%29&quot;&gt;Late Nicolas George Hayek&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;ndash; was a frontrunner in extending a cultural meaning to the brand in India by launching a Manish Arora Capsule Collection. Mr. Hayek, who was always ahead of his times, knew that this trend will follow, and took a far-sighted decision in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Jimmy Choo Shaan collection&quot; src=&quot;http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/jimmy%20choo%20india%20shaan%20collection.jpeg&quot; style=&quot;width: 700px; height: 936px; margin: 5px 7px;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#808080;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;A part of the Shaan collection by Jimmy Choo.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Brand communication &amp;ndash; gets a shot in the arm&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Such cultural respect gives luxury brand communication a long shot in the arm. Imagine how powerful a story brands can create in their communication strategies. A compelling brand storytelling is the key differentiator in modern day luxury communication. A myopic view could be to review and assess the success of such a curated collection basis the sales it generates. It is not about how quickly the 99 pieces of the limited edition Raymond Weil River Ganges collection would sell out, it&amp;rsquo;s more about how powerful a brand story they can create around it. That would result in a top-of-the-mind brand recall and cascading sales of other products of the brand.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A future perspective &amp;ndash; for luxury brands to ponder&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Without getting into an overkill zone or compromising the core DNA values, western luxury brands can continue launching small curated India specific collections, paying tribute to rich cultural symbols of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
Apart from products, brands can play with visual merchandising in stores by assimilating cultural symbols that do not dilute the luxury image of the brand, and is still in sync with values and brand salience.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff3366;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:24px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:georgia,serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;quot;...the most critical element is a sustained soft skills training of retail staff on &amp;ldquo;Maharaja Treatment&amp;rdquo; to everyone who enters the store without bias and judgement.&amp;quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Experiential communication and marketing is the next big thing for luxury brands. Brands may ponder over assimilating some local cultural elements into their global umbrella experiential offering to consumers. Can Louis Vuitton or Hermes organise a ramp show with Bollywood celebrities with the iconic Taj Mahal in the back drop or display products in branded boats on River Ganges? Dior did take the cake with its magnificently staged Fall 2023 collection presentation in front of Gateway of India this year. Can Harley Davidson engage riders for a ride across India ending at India Gate to pay homage to martyrs? An Omega or Rolex can think completely out of the box and organise a &amp;ldquo;India or Bharat Darshan&amp;rdquo;, a visit to key iconic cultural spots for only the Gen Z or millennials brand owners. Youngsters may be selected basis a brand competition. This will not only create a brand story and a buzz, but also help build an emotional connect. Be a part of the India heritage and story to bridge emotions. That&amp;rsquo;s what luxury is all about.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Indians hail from the land of the Maharajas. It&amp;rsquo;s a society with high power nuances, and therefore the latent expectations of wealthy Indians is to get a Maharaja kind of treatment inside a luxury store. So build such flagship stores. Technical knowledge, brand history, staff personality and communication requirements are a &amp;lsquo;given&amp;rsquo;. But the most critical element is a sustained soft skills training of retail staff on &amp;ldquo;Maharaja Treatment&amp;rdquo; to everyone who enters the store without bias and judgement. One would be the buyer and the other may be a potential consumer or a brand ambassador once they leave the store premises.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;
The impact of culture on buying motivations for luxury brands is significant. With Bain &amp;amp; Co Report 2022 projecting a $200bn Indian luxury market by 2030, which would be 3.5 times of its current size, brand custodians must quickly go back to the drawing board to draw a strategic graph towards extending a cultural meaning through curated capsule product collections and culturally assimilated communication with compelling brand storytelling and experiential marketing to connect emotionally with the Indian consumer. Aim not only for sales, but also for ushering in a brand love and addiction among your most loyal clients.&lt;/p&gt;

		<h3>Ever wonder what a truly Zen experience feels like? You don't have to wonder anymore. Don't be surprised to find it now in your favourite city - Mumbai - at the Areopagus Spa</h3>
	    <p><div>By: Salman Z. Bukhari</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Posted on: October 10, 2011</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Ever wonder what a truly Zen experience feels like? You don&rsquo;t have to wonder anymore. Don&rsquo;t be surprised to find it now in your favourite city &ndash; Mumbai &ndash; at the Areopagus Spa.</em></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_Buddharoom-(24).jpg" width="700" height="467" vspace="5" hspace="7" align="left" alt="" />Who does not love professional perks, especially when they come in form of a massage! My aching soul found the address and promptly fixed an appointment for this review hoping for rejuvenation and nirvana. Tucked in a by-lane of Mumbai&rsquo;s jewellery district Opera House on Huges Road, Areopagus Spa couldn&rsquo;t have a better location. After all the store hopping between A.Jaffe, Orra, TBZ, the after-effects of the long search and battle for that right ring, a lady might find some respite in a spa uplifting her enough to send her on yet another round of hunting and searching.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The team at Areopagus Spa describes it as a luxurious escape from the hustle bustle of urbanization. Its services and experience are designed to transport you into a world of tranquility and stillness, giving you a feeling of oriental warmth and hospitality which are the foundations of the Japanese culture.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>On arrival, you are greeted by a polite girl, who promptly whips out some refreshing drink and assists you with the menu of services they offer. Lit a bit too bright for a spa, the reception&rsquo;s d&eacute;cor in deep wood and reds promise the delights that lay within each chamber. After understanding the different session&rsquo;s benefits and perceiving how nice I would feel as soon as this evening ended, I selected the house speciality, the Japanese Zen Shiatsu massage which promised to de-stress hormones, diminish pain and spurt the immune system.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The masseuse led me to my private room with its attached steam room, handed over clothes resembling a karate gear, and vanished into thin air. Clothes? What am I missing here? Not bad for those who have massage anxiety each time they imagine the horror of revealing their &lsquo;EVERYTHING&rsquo; to a stranger &ndash; who is so judging them! Being scarred with my own massage table stories which still haunt me, I happily slipped into what was an oversized Karate-ish outfit in colours I certainly did not like. But who cared when you have 120 minutes of stress busting therapy coming up?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_couplesroom-(13).jpg" width="400" height="600" vspace="5" hspace="7" align="right" alt="" />Now honestly massage has always been about me being sprawled on the table smothered in oils with a &lsquo;WonderHands&rsquo; person working their skills and making me never wanting the moment to end. So how different would a Japanese therapy be when the end goal is release and relaxation? I suppose only better, especially if it has &lsquo;Zen&rsquo; attached into the name. I couldn&rsquo;t be more mistaken. Starting with your legs working upwards, the Shiatsu employs application of pressure all over the body and along the energy pathways in line with the traditional Chinese acupuncture. It helps stimulate the innate healing abilities of the body and reduce symptoms of illness to regain strength and vitality.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Simply put, it was a synchronized wrestling match between my lifelessly stiff body and the masseuse who used joint movement and stretching to increase flexibility as well as provide better access to the energy paths. You will be moved, pulled, twisted and turned till you start feeling each and every fibre in your being. The therapist was kind enough to keep asking every now and then if the pressure levels need be increased or reduced. The Zen Shiatsu might not send you in a state of &lsquo;Zen&rsquo; while the massage is going on, considering the degree of pressure and stretching practiced by your therapist, who uses each and every limb to give you a kick start (quite literally) making you feel all &lsquo;Jello&rsquo;.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There were moments somewhere between the shoulder twisting and the arm pulling when</div>
<div>I thought to myself &ldquo;What have I done to deserve this?&rdquo; But I assure you it will end exactly when the two hours are up. You are given an option of slipping into the steam room and shower before you finally limp your way out of the massage room, back to the lobby, where a steaming hot green tea awaits you.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The massage might seem very unconventional for the uninitiated, but be rest assured, the</div>
<div>Zen-moment arrives the moment you sip on the tea, suddenly feeling parts of the body you never thought you had. The release of toxins and muscle stiffness seem to evaporate.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Areopagus claims to be a pioneer of high-end Japanese day spas in India with multiple franchises run outlets. Each of Mumbai&rsquo;s four branches assures you of consistent quality and hospitality. At the core of their service is the art they specialize in - a combination of Japanese and Chinese massage therapies.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<p><img src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_greenroom-(9).jpg" width="700" height="467" vspace="5" hspace="7" align="left" alt="" /></p>
<div>In addition to Shiatsu, more pampering rejuvenating services are listed here. Try the&nbsp;420-minute Grounding Therapy which blends stretching, use of finger knuckles and elbows with hot towels and oil, to hit every muscle and nerve in your body. You can even double the pleasure of healing with two masseuses massaging in the Ritual Massage which lasts for two hours. In addition to this, Cupid Lovers massage sessions are worth exploring if you and your partner want to indulge simultaneously. I am certain the Yuki Energy and the Luxurious Facial sessions might be just the thing I might revisit them for another city-stress related breakdown!</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Buongthangmawi Khawbung, Director of Areopagus Spa, is confident that Indians are ready for the next level of luxury spa experience &ndash; this time from the orient. &ldquo;Touch is such a powerful healer that it can move mountains,&rdquo; explains Ms Khawbung of her art form. It is certainly true as well&hellip;</div>

We believe it lies in qualities, that may be less tangible, but important, like craftsmanship, uniqueness and a quest for perfection. Hence our motto, &#39;<em><strong>The Unique, The Exquisite and The Rare.</strong></em>&#39;</p>

<p>Luxury is usually considered to be only the domain of the affluent, but we feel that everyone can revel in the luxury of having that one unique thing which no one else has. Luxury goods are no longer unreachable objects, at least in terms of money. It is, but, a quest of finding that one perfectly made handbag, haute dress, fine wine or brilliant jewel, that you wouldn&#39;t find anywhere else.</p>

<p>India is fast becoming a destination for luxury. The world is looking at us, and we are also welcoming brands which were, till now, the prerogative of the West. India itself has the best of luxury to offer, with a 500 year heritage of indulging in all that is fine, perfect and refined. <strong>We know our luxury.</strong> The numerous Bentleys and glittering Cartier creations that our Maharajas owned are proof enough of that.</p>

<p>Since starting in India, we have spread our wings and reach to America, where the consciousness for fine luxury is becoming more mature and specific.</p>

<p>Luxury is not just a high-end shopping experience. It is a lifestyle, a culture and an art. It is the past, present and future.</p>

<p><em>Enjoy it through our online magazine...</em></p>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Posted on: October 10, 2011</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><em>Ever wonder what a truly Zen experience feels like? You don&rsquo;t have to wonder anymore. Don&rsquo;t be surprised to find it now in your favourite city &ndash; Mumbai &ndash; at the Areopagus Spa.</em></div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_Buddharoom-(24).jpg" width="700" height="467" vspace="5" hspace="7" align="left" alt="" />Who does not love professional perks, especially when they come in form of a massage! My aching soul found the address and promptly fixed an appointment for this review hoping for rejuvenation and nirvana. Tucked in a by-lane of Mumbai&rsquo;s jewellery district Opera House on Huges Road, Areopagus Spa couldn&rsquo;t have a better location. After all the store hopping between A.Jaffe, Orra, TBZ, the after-effects of the long search and battle for that right ring, a lady might find some respite in a spa uplifting her enough to send her on yet another round of hunting and searching.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The team at Areopagus Spa describes it as a luxurious escape from the hustle bustle of urbanization. Its services and experience are designed to transport you into a world of tranquility and stillness, giving you a feeling of oriental warmth and hospitality which are the foundations of the Japanese culture.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>On arrival, you are greeted by a polite girl, who promptly whips out some refreshing drink and assists you with the menu of services they offer. Lit a bit too bright for a spa, the reception&rsquo;s d&eacute;cor in deep wood and reds promise the delights that lay within each chamber. After understanding the different session&rsquo;s benefits and perceiving how nice I would feel as soon as this evening ended, I selected the house speciality, the Japanese Zen Shiatsu massage which promised to de-stress hormones, diminish pain and spurt the immune system.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The masseuse led me to my private room with its attached steam room, handed over clothes resembling a karate gear, and vanished into thin air. Clothes? What am I missing here? Not bad for those who have massage anxiety each time they imagine the horror of revealing their &lsquo;EVERYTHING&rsquo; to a stranger &ndash; who is so judging them! Being scarred with my own massage table stories which still haunt me, I happily slipped into what was an oversized Karate-ish outfit in colours I certainly did not like. But who cared when you have 120 minutes of stress busting therapy coming up?</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div><img src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/files/image/AreopagusSpa_HughesRoad_couplesroom-(13).jpg" width="400" height="600" vspace="5" hspace="7" align="right" alt="" />Now honestly massage has always been about me being sprawled on the table smothered in oils with a &lsquo;WonderHands&rsquo; person working their skills and making me never wanting the moment to end. So how different would a Japanese therapy be when the end goal is release and relaxation? I suppose only better, especially if it has &lsquo;Zen&rsquo; attached into the name. I couldn&rsquo;t be more mistaken. Starting with your legs working upwards, the Shiatsu employs application of pressure all over the body and along the energy pathways in line with the traditional Chinese acupuncture. It helps stimulate the innate healing abilities of the body and reduce symptoms of illness to regain strength and vitality.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Simply put, it was a synchronized wrestling match between my lifelessly stiff body and the masseuse who used joint movement and stretching to increase flexibility as well as provide better access to the energy paths. You will be moved, pulled, twisted and turned till you start feeling each and every fibre in your being. The therapist was kind enough to keep asking every now and then if the pressure levels need be increased or reduced. The Zen Shiatsu might not send you in a state of &lsquo;Zen&rsquo; while the massage is going on, considering the degree of pressure and stretching practiced by your therapist, who uses each and every limb to give you a kick start (quite literally) making you feel all &lsquo;Jello&rsquo;.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>There were moments somewhere between the shoulder twisting and the arm pulling when</div>
<div>I thought to myself &ldquo;What have I done to deserve this?&rdquo; But I assure you it will end exactly when the two hours are up. You are given an option of slipping into the steam room and shower before you finally limp your way out of the massage room, back to the lobby, where a steaming hot green tea awaits you.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The massage might seem very unconventional for the uninitiated, but be rest assured, the</div>
<div>Zen-moment arrives the moment you sip on the tea, suddenly feeling parts of the body you never thought you had. The release of toxins and muscle stiffness seem to evaporate.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Areopagus claims to be a pioneer of high-end Japanese day spas in India with multiple franchises run outlets. Each of Mumbai&rsquo;s four branches assures you of consistent quality and hospitality. At the core of their service is the art they specialize in - a combination of Japanese and Chinese massage therapies.</div>

<p>Posted on: November 16, 2023</p>

<p><img alt="PRS Oberoi" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/PRS%20Oberoi%20tribute.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 421px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Someone who steered the Oberoi Group of hotels to be on the international luxury travellers&rsquo; map, P.R.S. Oberoi, passed away on November 14 aged 94. A deserved winner of the Padma Vibhushan, India&#39;s second-highest civilian award, he was fondly called Biki. The younger son of the founder of the group, Rai Bahadur Mohan Singh Oberoi, he took over the reins of the company after his father passed, and made it India&rsquo;s first international luxury brand.</p>

<p>Known to be a stickler for perfection, he did his education from India, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Despite his diminutive frame, it was his personality that was massive and commanded respect among his peers and within the organisation, as he worked tirelessly to transform his father&#39;s East Indian Hotels company into a brand known for its immersive luxury experiences.</p>

<p>Having been privy to observing his father in close quarters as he navigated the hospitality space, Mr. Oberoi had famously admitted that this was the only business he knew. After all, he had the luxury of being able to travel the world and stay at the world&rsquo;s leading hotels to understand what luxury really meant. And he used this to transform the group to what it is today. The Oberoi Hotels &amp; Resorts and Trident brands have 32 luxury hotels and two river cruise ships in seven countries as of today.</p>

<p>The patriarch of the brand, he started The Oberoi Centre of Learning and Development at New Delhi in 1967. Apart from being known for his attention to detail, (the degree of lighting, placing of switches, height of the bathtub or the curtain&rsquo;s exact colour), he built, among other properties, the Rajvilas, Jaipur, Wildflower Hall, Shimla, Udaivilas, Udaipur, Amarvilas, Agra, and Vanyavilas, Ranthambhore, in India. Prioritising being the best over being the biggest, he transformed the hospitality landscape of the country in his six decade long career.</p>

<p>Known to never cut corners, he was a stickler for doing things right. Would you believe it? He would send his breakfast back if the egg yolk of his egg did not have the perfect sunrise yellow? And further, he would ensure that the entire batch of eggs would not be used for other guests either? Well, this was his example of being a &ldquo;fussy guest&rdquo; which just goes to show his passion and his need for his staff to be perfect &ldquo;99.5%&rdquo; of the time. It&rsquo;s a trait that has well and truly rubbed off into the staff at the Oberoi Hotels even today.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><em>&quot;He was a class act. Period.&rdquo;&nbsp;</em></span></span></p>
</blockquote>

<p>In fact, his deep-rooted knowledge of the nuances of hospitality was what made him stand out. Who else would close a flagship hotel like the Oberoi in Delhi for two years to give it a more contemporary luxury look? He believed that &ldquo;hospitality is all about common sense which is hard to find&rdquo;. He knew everything &ndash; from the storage capacity of underground water tanks in his hotels, the location of the original load bearing beams of his hotels to F&amp;B margins and room service standards in all his hotels.</p>

<p>Probably the best way to remember him is in the words of industrialist Anand Mahindra whose tribute to him on X read, &ldquo;He made &lsquo;Oberoi&rsquo; a global byword for the Indian luxury hospitality experience and the first to put an Indian hotel on the very top of global rankings. He also rallied the group heroically but quietly post the 26/11 attack on their Mumbai flagship. He was a class act. Period.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p>A pioneer, a visionary, and a legend, P.R.S. Oberoi is irreplaceable.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>5.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Kefalonia<span style="white-space:pre"> </span></strong></h2>

<p>Posted on: November 16, 2023</p>

<p></p>

<p>There are many jewelers in the world. It&rsquo;s full of them. Coming from the land of India, especially, there is no dearth of jewelers. However, not many can claim to design jewelry that is artistic, or thrilling. There are some cuts, shapes, and curves, that are evergreen, always in demand. And most jewelers prefer to stick to those classic pieces and stone. The business of jewelry is, after all, expensive.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>There are a tiny few jewelers, however, that manage to break the mold, and offer something that is so breathtaking, that it&rsquo;s almost unbelievable. And this year, publisher Rizzoli, decided to put some of them in the spotlight.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>1.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>The Art of David Webb &ndash; Jewelry and Culture</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="The Art of David Webb coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20Of%20David%20Webb%20cover.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 870px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>A part of my daily schedule includes sifting through numerous press releases, many of them from auction houses. A regular feature in many of the jewelry auctions is David Webb.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>This jeweler from the 1940s was a visionary for his times. Even today, his jewelry stands out among a sea of regular looking pieces. He created life-like monkeys, cats and the legendary zebras. He used materials like coral, abalone pearl, azurmalachite, which were a novelty in the period he lived in. He hammered gold to give them bold shapes; he mixed colors in inconceivable combinations.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="The Art of David Webb coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20of%20David%20Webb%20pg72-73.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 453px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p></p>

<p>In a 1963 article for New York Herald Tribune, Mr. Webb asked boldly that why jewelry can&rsquo;t be considered as art? Why can&rsquo;t it be hung on the walls like art? Today, his musing has come true. His jewelry is certainly considered art, and museums love to showcase his jewelry.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>This book takes you through David Webb&rsquo;s world in a very clever way. Not only does the author Ruth Peltason walks you through his ideas, sketches and innovation, but does so in juxtaposition to the world he was living in. She compares &ndash; or rather connects &ndash; Mr. Webb&rsquo;s works with dresses by Yves-Saint Laurent, architecture by Frank Lloyd Wright, photographs by Edward Curtis, and even a Roman mosaic uncovered in Pompeii. It&rsquo;s a wonderful way to perceive jewelry, and culture. A certain page turner.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="The Art of David Webb coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Art%20of%20David%20Webb%20pg146-147.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 451px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>2.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Francesca Amfitheatrof &ndash; Fantastical Jewels</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="Fantastical Jewels coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Francesca%20Amfitheatrof%20cover.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 841px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>For a brand that started in 1854, Louis Vuitton is a fairly recent entrant into the world of high jewelry. But it&rsquo;s certainly not a na&iuml;ve one. It knows the game, as does Francesca Amfotheatrof, the Artistic Director Watches and Jewellery at Louis Vuitton.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>A design maverick, Ms. Amfitheatrof was born in Tokyo, and raised in Asia, America, Russia and Europe. She studied at three London institutions - Central Saint Martins, Chelsea College of Arts and Royal College of Art. She has previously led the jewelry design team at Tiffany &amp; Co. She has also been senior jewelry designer for UK royal jeweler Asprey &amp; Garrard; designed for Chanel, Balenciaga, Fendi and Marni; and was the curator of Gucci Museo in Florence.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Fantastical Jewels coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Fantastical%20Jewels%201.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 890px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p></p>

<p>Her designs for Louis Vuitton have been contemporary, clean, bold, and spellbinding. &ldquo;I was not schooled in the art of Haute Joailleire. I believe it is one of the reasons my designs feel modern and relevant,&rdquo; she says in the book.</p>

<p></p>

<p>That does seem to be true. Even though her inspirations have been ancient, her creations have managed to cradle the balance between past, present and future. She has earned her name in the Hall of Fame due to her ability to create truly beautiful pieces that are adaptable to your interpretation.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Fantastical Jewels coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Fantastical%20Jewels%203.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 887px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p></p>

<p>The book, organized by the collection, begins with the high jewellery <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Louis-Vuitton-announces-Cate-Blanchett-as-its-newe">Spirit collection</a>, which was launched last year. Immerse yourself with 3D sketches, behind the making photos and close-up shots of high carat gems. Ms. Amfitheatrof delves into the inspiration of each piece, while sharing some lesser known details. The Liberty necklace, for example, has a hidden message behind. The Destiny necklace has a 10+ carat ruby that can be removed to be placed in a ring, and can be replaced with a diamond. There&rsquo;s more to devour.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>The book feels like a journey into the mystical world of Ms. Amfitheatrof. Mood board images, drawings, celebrity shots, all combine to give the book a true Louis Vuitton feeling &ndash; a feeling of travel.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>3.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>A Bit of Universe &ndash; The Jewelry of Luz Camino</strong></h2>

<p><img alt="Luz Camino coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20cover.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 923px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Luz Camino is &ndash; perhaps &ndash; the best kept secret of the jewelry world. And that&rsquo;s just as well, because massification won&rsquo;t suit her vision and creativity. A person of incredible talent, dexterity and imagination, she doesn&rsquo;t have a Wikipedia profile, with only about 3000 followers on Instagram. That does not, however, speak about her products. It merely speaks about her dedication to her craft &ndash; to jewelry making.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>This book gives an ode to this incredible Spanish master jeweler, who was the first woman in Spain to qualify as a goldsmith, or <em>sacador de fuego</em> (one who extracts from the fire). A short foreword by designer Carolina Herrera is followed by an insightful essay on the jeweler by Clare Phillips &ndash; the Elizabeth Gage Curator of Jewellery at the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum.</p>

<p><img alt="Luz Camino coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20p91.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 673px; margin: 5px 7px;" />&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>And then comes pages upon pages of Ms. Camino&rsquo;s jewelry, which is spellbinding, captivating and pure. Her jewelry is indeed a bit of universe, as she takes inspiration from even insignificant moments of nature. Who could have thought that a necklace can be created to recreate melting ice cubes? Or the curving form of pencil shavings could be cast in gold? Only Ms. Camino I believe.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>The jeweler innovates with any and every kind of material. Brittle mica is combined with tourmalines, irregular opal is used with resin. There are beautiful Poppies and Navelwort brooches to wonder over. There is the magnificent Nebula, composed of multiple gems, artfully orchestrated to showcase the eponymous wonder of cosmos. The Spanish Dancer Fish brooch, Grapes earrings, Blackberries brooch &ndash; all are as true to the original as can be.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Luz Camino coffee table book" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Luz%20Camino%20p168-169.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 470px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p></p>

<p>At the end of the book is where you get a glimpse into the woman that is Luz Camino. She talks about three incidents that shaped her career, and her grandchildren. Her son pens a moving tribute to the person he works with now.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>The book does not have much text, instead offering a peek into Ms. Camino&rsquo;s body of work. Most of the jewels have never been seen by the larger world, and they are a treat indeed. A <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Beat-the-Heat-Cool-Off-Looking-at-Gems-at-These-Tw">rare exhibition</a> had happened in Manhattan recently, at the Hispanic Society Museum. This book, therefore, is something I will treasure for years to come.&nbsp;</p>

The art fairs are back in town and we&rsquo;re out and about to see what&rsquo;s trending for collectors and those curious about art and design. Follow along!&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Trunks Company Bar Trunk" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Trunks%20Company%20Bar%20Trunk.jpg" style="margin: 5px 7px; width: 700px; height: 392px;" /><br />

<p>We stopped in to The Art Show, one of the longest-running art fairs in the country and put on by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA). For its 130th edition, 57 booths featured solo exhibitions, including standout presentations by Tavares Strachan with Marian Goodman Gallery (New York), Joel Mesler with Cheim &amp; Read (New York), Sheila Hicks with Sikkema Jenkins &amp; Co. (New York), Roy Lichtenstein with Castelli Gallery (New York) and Kiki Smith with Pace Gallery (New York &amp; Los Angeles). I was particularly interested in the George Sand (French writer and artist) watercolor series presented by the Jill Newhouse Gallery.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
For anyone who&rsquo;s interested in top tier furniture, fine art and d&eacute;cor, the annual Salon Art &amp; Design fair is one of the most anticipated fairs of the year with its high style exhibitors and their expertly curated settings in the categories of art and design. Held at the historic and huge Park Avenue Armory on Manhattan&rsquo;s Upper East Side, I always feel as if I&rsquo;m crashing Elle D&eacute;cor and Architectural Digest magazine photoshoots!&nbsp;</p>

<p>Fifty of the world&rsquo;s finest galleries who present design and art from the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries encompassing historical, modern and contemporary furniture and groundbreaking design exhibited this year. It&rsquo;s a chic and vibrant mix of genres and styles, and the only fair of this caliber in these categories. For the first time, Salon integrated a select group of special design and jewelry exhibitions on the floor, ranging from exclusive capsule collections from individual designers to smaller curations from galleries such as ABASK.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paritosh Mehta of <a href="https://www.luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Making-the-Box-Trunks-Company-Jaipurs-Take-on-an">Trunks Company</a> (founded in 2011) is a first-time exhibitor. Of the company&rsquo;s Rajputana Bar Cabinet Trunk, Library Bar Trunk and Chess Bar Cabinet, he said, &ldquo;We have fused an innate romanticism and art with intricate craftsmanship to treasure one&rsquo;s prized possessions, passions and emotions. We continue to draw cultural inspiration from Jaipur&rsquo;s timeless heritage, and our journey is an ever-evolving canvas with intricate details, depth, and layers.&rdquo; These masterpieces merge Indian culture with craftsmanship and are made in the company&rsquo;s headquarters in the regal city of Jaipur, India.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
On the flip side, we took in The Other Art Fair, presented by Saatchi Art, which took place in Brooklyn the same weekend, with affordable artworks from more than 120 artists from around the globe, with more than half of exhibitors local to the New York metropolitan area. Throughout the weekend, fair visitors mingled among art works, the artists, and also enjoyed drinks and delicious bites, with live DJ sets, unique installations and hands-on workshops. The Other Art Fair fosters an inclusive environment where art is for everyone. Placing an emphasis on community, the Brooklyn edition supports and promotes local talent with numerous New York-based partners, brands, artists, organizations and more.&nbsp;</p>

Attending the preview of &ldquo;The Fashion of Prince&rdquo; at the newly refurbished Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan, we took a closer look at the glamorous coats, the sensational white ruffled blouse, plus shoes and costume jewelry, all part of the collection being auctioned this month.

<p><img alt="Amalfi Coast Italy" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/mahdiye-jv-amalfi%20coast%202-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Italy is home to fantastic destinations that lure visitors seeking luxurious experiences. If you&#39;re keen to discover the country&#39;s incredible wine culture, consider a wine-tasting tour of Tuscany. Those who have a fondness for car racing can visit Formula 1 in Monza. If you&#39;re keen on discovering the nation&#39;s rich history and culture, a private tour of Rome would be perfect. Meanwhile, if you&#39;re dreaming of a holiday by the sea, yachting around the incredibly stunning Amalfi Coast is the ideal getaway. For foodies, taking a cooking class in Bologna will suit you best.</p>

<p></p>

<p>To know more about these, here are the top 5 luxurious things to do in Italy.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>1.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Go Wine Tasting in Tuscany<span style="white-space:pre"> </span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Tuscany vineyards Italy" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/johny-goerend-tuscany%20vineyard-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Wine lovers should pay a visit to the stunning wine region of Tuscany. As one of the world&#39;s top destinations for <a href="https://www.foodandwine.com/wine/best-wineries-visit-tuscany">wine lovers</a>, Tuscany is the best place to discover the finest Italian wines and learn more about the region&#39;s wine industry on a wine-tasting tour. Aside from learning about wine, your tour will take you past picturesque vineyards surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful scenery.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Chianti is one of the most renowned Italian wine varieties. You will find the vineyards of Chianti all over the Tuscany region. However, Greve in Chianti is the best place for a wine-tasting tour. It&#39;s less than an hour from Florence, home to gorgeous castles and several miles of stunning vineyards that change colours according to the season. You will find many excellent accommodations in the Greve in Chianti that offer a travel package that includes the accommodation and a wine-tasting tour, so you may want to take advantage of these.</p>

<p></p>

<p>If you&#39;re more into red wine, the charming city of Montepulciano is the place to be. It&#39;s famous for its Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, a dry, full-bodied red wine. The city is also a fun place to explore, home to impressive churches and ancient towers.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>2.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Visit the Formula 1&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Monza Italy race track" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/isaac-maffeis-monza%20race%20track-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 394px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Fans of the F1 race should check out the Autodromo Nazionale race track near Monza, about 15 miles north of Milan. Situated within the Royal Villa of Monza Park, the circuit features a lush woodland setting, which makes it even more interesting to see. The Autodromo Nazionale race track has consistently been a beloved choice for Formula 1 drivers and race enthusiasts alike. To ensure you don&#39;t miss out, its advisable to book <a href="https://www.grandstandtickets.com/italian-f1-tickets/">tickets to the Italian Formula 1</a> races in advance!</p>

<p></p>

<p></p>

<p>The best way to reach Monza is to travel by car from Milan. You can rent one from the city and use GPS to navigate. Depending on your pace, it takes about 40 minutes to get to the place. You can park the car in one of the car parks within the circuit, costing around 25 euros per day. If driving is not an option, you can take a taxi, which costs around 45 euros. It&#39;s also possible to get to Monza by train. The circuit is close to two train stations.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>While many would come to Monza on a day trip from Milan, it&#39;s worth spending a day or two in the city. After the F1 race, you can explore the city. You&#39;ll find the historic centre a fun place to stroll around, where you&#39;ll find places of interest like the Duomo of Monza and its Museum of Treasures.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>3.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Take a Private Tour of Rome<span style="white-space:pre"> </span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Rome Italy" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/caleb-miller-rome-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 464px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>If you want a seamless and well-organised trip to Rome, a private tour of Rome seems like an excellent option. Italy&#39;s capital is home to some of the world&#39;s most fascinating historical sites, such as the Colosseum, the Pantheon, and the Roman Forum. When you book <a href="https://touritaly.com/">private tours in Italy</a>, expert guides can customise your itinerary, ensuring you get the most out of your stay without having to prepare every detail yourself and allowing you to sit back, relax, and explore the best of the city.</p>

<p></p>

<p>As one of Italy&#39;s most popular tourist destinations, Rome welcomes thousands of tourists each day. As a result, many of the tourist sites can get crowded. Another advantage of a private tour is that you will get access to the tourist sites earlier in the morning when it&#39;s quieter. When the crowds arrive, you&#39;ll enjoy snacks like gelato and other treats. You will then explore the streets of the ancient city as the evening rolls. Your guide will take you to places not many tourists know.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>4.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Yacht Around the Amalfi Coast<span style="white-space:pre"> </span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Amalfi Coast Italy" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/alessio-bachetti-amalfi%20coast%201-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Perched on cliffs with colourful villages cascading towards the turquoise sea, the Amalfi Coast is a fascinating place to explore on a yacht. As your boat sails through the scenic coast, you&#39;ll marvel at the ornate villas, domed churches, and terraced vineyards that have been attracting visitors since ancient times.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>A <a href="https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/830/">UNESCO World Heritage Site</a>, the Amalfi Coast is a scenic stretch of coastline along southern Italy&#39;s Campania region, about 60 kilometres south of Naples. It&#39;s home to many picturesque towns and villages, connected by a cliff-hugging highway that&#39;s one of the country&#39;s most scenic driving routes.</p>

<p></p>

<p>While yachting around the Amalfi Coast, make stops along the waterfront towns along the coast, from Positano in the west, and head east towards Praiano, Conca dei Marini, and Amalfi.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Amalfi is pretty diverse, with each town offering a different character. Positano exudes a glamorous vibe, with beach clubs, fancy restaurants, and upscale hotels. Some towns are more laidback, while others are still undiscovered.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong>5.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Take a Cookery Class in Bologna<span style="white-space:pre"> </span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Bologna italy cooking" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/lorenzo-tomassetti-bologna%20cooking-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Bologna is known as the &quot;food capital&quot; of Italy, acclaimed for its rich culinary traditions and <a href="https://adventurousmiriam.com/must-eat-in-bologna/">world-renowned cuisine</a>, which includes specialties such as rag&ugrave; and handmade pasta. Joining a cooking class in Bologna is a fantastic idea if you want to learn about Italian cuisine and enhance your culinary skills. An expert will teach you how to make local cuisines that Bologna is known for, such as tortellini, lasagne, and mortadella.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Even if you have some knowledge about Italian cooking, joining a cooking class is a great way to enhance your cooking skills. It offers actual training in cooking, which can help improve your cooking abilities.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Cooking classes are popular in Bologna, and there are many different classes to choose from. Some classes involve going to local markets to buy supplies before you cook. Classes are also often held in a friendly and engaging setting. Participants can bond with fellow learners and chefs via shared culinary experiences, making it an excellent opportunity to meet new people and share a memorable activity.</p>

<p>November 15, 2023: More than a decade after opening its first store in New Delhi, Cartier has expanded its presence to Mumbai, a city celebrated for its diverse culture intertwining entertainment, economy, and the arts. <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Why-are-Luxury-Brands-Gravitating-Towards-Indian-C">Brand ambassador Deepika Padukone</a>&nbsp;- attired elegantly in Louis Vuitton and Cartier jewels of course - inaugurated the store.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Boasting a legacy that extends over 175 years, Cartier stands as a brand intricately woven into the fabric of history and culture. In collaboration with Reliance Brands Ltd., the new store is an extension of this rich heritage.</p>

<p><img alt="Cartier Mumbai boutique" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/CARTIER%20MUMBAI%20BOUTIQUE%20DEEPIKA%20PADUKONE%201.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Speaking on the new store, Sophie Doireau, CEO of Cartier Middle East, India, Africa &amp; Turkey, said, &quot;India is a vibrant country with a dynamic and youthful population that is both inspired by its heritage and poised to innovate for a brighter future. The launch of our boutique in Mumbai is a testament to the Maison&rsquo;s commitment to a long-lasting relationship that has had a significant impact on Cartier&rsquo;s craftsmanship for over a century.&quot;</p>

<p>Cartier has ensured that their newest boutique in Mumbai at Jio World Plaza is a sensory experience for visitors. Stepping into the store, the brand&#39;s iconic panther welcomes visitors through a vibrant patina mural in signature shades of red, gold, and beige. As patrons look up, they encounter a meticulously crafted ceiling inspired by various forms of lapidary art, reminiscent of opulent palaces in India. The warm tones of beige, gold, and champagne bronze envelop the spaces, creating an ambiance akin to a royal residence. The brand&rsquo;s <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/From-India-Back-to-India">association with the royals</a> is reflected in every corner of the interior.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The regal aura extends into a niche room adorned in vibrant orange, a color revered for its associations with optimism, energy, knowledge, and purity. Transitioning to the Men&#39;s Universe, a space exuding strength and bravery, features carmine-red hand-painted wallpaper. The bespoke wallpaper, adorned with lotus petals, symbolizes the energetic rhythm found in nature. Indian design takes center stage with seating embellished in traditional paisley motifs, inviting visitors to dream big, mirroring the adventurous spirit of the Cartier brothers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Continuing the immersive journey, the VIP Salon unveils an exclusive and discreet space adorned with coffered ceilings inspired by carved wooden Havelis architecture. The walls are adorned in colors like yellow for luck and success, and blue symbolizing life and power. Each element in this boutique reflects a harmonious fusion of Cartier&#39;s timeless elegance and the cultural richness of Mumbai, creating an environment where art, history, and luxury converge seamlessly.</p>

			'articlename' => 'Mary Tyler Moore's jewelry collection goes up for auction at Sotheby’s',
			'largedescription' => '<p>November 15, 2023: For over 30 years, actress Mary Tyler Moore was married to cardiologist Robert Levine. Enduring challenges from brain tumors to diabetes, Dr. Robert Levine steadfastly supported her. Unfortunately, she passed away on January 25, 2017, at the age of 80. As per reports, she had been on a ventilator, and hospitalized with pneumonia resulting from complications related to her diabetes. Now, six years after her passing, Dr. Levine has decided to auction some of her beloved and precious jewelry pieces.</p>

<p><img alt="Bvlgari Gold Coin necklace" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Bulgari%20Gold%20Ancient%20Coin%20Ruby%20Diamond%20Monete%20Necklace.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;" /><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Proceeds from the sale of 21 pieces will support The Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, a non-profit dedicated to preserving and restoring vision in individuals with diabetes, carrying forward Ms. Moore&rsquo;s important work and honoring her enduring legacy. The actress had a remarkable career, securing seven Emmy awards, a Tony Award, three Golden Globe Awards, an Academy Award nomination, and a SAG Lifetime Achievement Award. The auction is a nod to her storied career.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Dr. Levine, Concept Creator and Chair of the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, said, &ldquo;Mary was an optimist. She thought anything was possible. And though her near blindness from diabetic retinal disease stole her joy and independence, she worked tirelessly to support research to find diabetes cures so others would not have to suffer the same burdens she had. It was her dream that one day there would be a world without vision loss from diabetes, and the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative is committed to making that dream come true.&rdquo;&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="diamond and pearl brooch" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Cultured%20Pearl%20Diamond%20Brooch.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;" /><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Showcasing exquisite antique diamonds and contemporary pieces from renowned houses like Van Cleef &amp; Arpels, Bulgari, and Tiffany and Co., the jewelry in this sale reflects Ms. Moore&#39;s understated yet timeless elegance. Many pieces were gifted by her husband, Dr. Levine, whom she married in 1983. Noteworthy among them is a Bulgari &#39;Monete&#39; Necklace, featuring a Gold, Ancient Coin, Ruby, and Diamond pendant with an estimated value of $25,000 - $35,000.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Another highlight includes a pair of iconic silver bone cuffs by Elsa Peretti, while a cuff bracelet and earclips from Van Cleef &amp; Arpels showcase the successful fusion of old and new. Inspired by ancient Etruscan design, the bracelet&#39;s modern aesthetic is emblematic of the bold, sculptural trends of the 1970s.</p>

<p><img alt="Van Cleef Arpels Gold cuff" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Van%20Cleef%20Arpels%20Gold%20Cuff%20Bracelet%20Pair%20of%20Earclips.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 718px; margin: 5px 7px;" /><br />
&nbsp;<br />
Other highlights are a Cultured Pearl and Diamond Brooch ($2,500 &ndash; 3,500); Audemars Piguet Gold and Diamond &#39;Royal Oak&#39; Wristwatch ($4,000 &ndash; 6,000); Group of Gold &#39;Mesh&#39; Jewels, Elsa Peretti for Tiffany &amp; Co ($4,000 &ndash; 6,000) and Group of Diamond Jewels ($15,000 - 20,000). Every item echoes the love they cherished, such as the Jaeger-LeCoultre watch in gold and diamonds. Dr. Levine selected this timepiece as Ms. Moore&rsquo;s eyesight declined, ensuring its large dial numbers enabled her to read the time.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The jewel pieces will open for bidding from November 28 till December 7.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Picturesque remote islands, iconic cultural attractions, and idyllic beaches - these are just some of the things to love about Indonesia. As the largest country in Southeast Asia, it has something to offer every traveller, including those who prefer to travel in luxury and style. Here are the top 5 luxurious things to do in Indonesia.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong><span style="white-space: normal;">1.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Take a Private Tour of Komodo National Park&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p>Home to the beastly Komodo dragons, Komodo National Park is a <a href="https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/609/">UNESCO World Heritage Site</a> home to beautiful white sand beaches and incredible hiking trails. It&#39;s also a popular site for diving, with colourful coral reefs and fascinating underwater scenes.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Indonesia islands komodo dragon" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/mitch-hodiono-komodo%20dragon-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p></p>

<p>One of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia is book a private tour of Komodo National Park. Aside from offering an exciting opportunity to witness the Komodo dragons in their natural habitat, your tour will take you on exciting adventures and visit many other islands, such as Kelor and Padar Island.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Padar Island is where you&#39;ll find the most scenic viewpoint of Komodo. It&#39;s a short hike to the top, taking about 30 minutes. When you get to the top, you&#39;ll be in awe at the breathtaking views that resemble those of the Jurassic Park landscape.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Another thing to look forward to on your private tour of Komodo National Park is the opportunity to visit Pink Beach. The park is home to gorgeous pink sand beaches, among the most Instagrammable beaches in Indonesia.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>The Komodo Dragon Trek is the highlight of your private tour of Komodo National Park. For this activity, you&#39;ll do a short trek to search for the Komodo dragons. You will be with a park ranger to ensure a safer and more enjoyable trek.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong><span style="white-space: normal;">2.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Chill in an Infinity Pool Overlooking Bali&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Ubud Hanging Gardens Pool" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Ubud%20Hanging%20Gardens%20pool.jpeg" style="width: 700px; height: 700px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Bali is one of the few places in the world where you&#39;ll find many resorts with incredible infinity pools overlooking stunning beaches, rice terraces, and majestic volcanoes. Thus, one of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia is to chill in an infinity pool.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>You&#39;ll find plenty of options when searching for infinity pools in Bali. But the most iconic is the Ubud Hanging Gardens. Surrounded by lush tropical rainforest, the well-known Bali resort has received several recognitions for being one of the world&#39;s best swimming pools. Due to its popularity, they only allow guests staying at the resort to use the pool. If you are staying at a different resort, you can book the half-day package, which comes with lunch, a spa treatment, and access to the famous infinity pool.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Aside from the Ubud Hanging Gardens, you&#39;ll find many other <a href="https://www.asmallworld.com/collection">luxurious hotels to stay in</a> around Bali with beautiful outdoor spaces to relax in, especially if you don&#39;t mind splurging. You can stay at Padma Resort Ubud, which has outstanding accommodations and excellent amenities, including an 89-metre infinity pool with panoramic views of the river valley.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong><span style="white-space: normal;">3.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Visit Orangutans in Borneo&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Borneo Island" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/dimitry-b-borneo-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Borneo is a Southeast Asian island shared by Indonesia and Malaysia. It lies along the South China Sea and is renowned for its incredible wildlife, including orangutans and proboscis monkeys. Thus, wildlife lovers should consider visiting orangutans in <a href="https://www.thecrazytourist.com/25-best-things-to-do-in-borneo/">Borneo</a> on their luxury trip to Indonesia.</p>

<p></p>

<p>The majority of Borneo is Kalimantan, which is part of Indonesia. It&#39;s a massive state consisting of five provinces. With a relatively high population of orangutans, it&#39;s one of the best places to see orangutans in their natural habitat. You can book a private tour that will take you to Tanjung Puting National Park, set amidst a vast swathe of coastal tropical forests. It started as a reserve before being transformed into a national park in 1982.</p>

<p></p>

<p>When you get to the park, you can take a small boat to explore and discover its natural wonders. Sailing gently along Sungai Sekonyer, keep your eyes peeled on the orangutans and other incredible animals, such as pot-bellied macaques and crocodiles.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Your journey will begin at the Kumai River port before heading to the three main feeding stations of the park with a local guide. Here, you can witness semi-wild orangutans in their feeding sessions - a magnificent experience!</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong><span style="white-space: normal;">4.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Yacht around the Indonesian Islands&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Yachting around Indonesia" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/denissa-devy-yachting%20indonesia-unsplash.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 469px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p>Since Indonesia is home to many different islands, the best way to make the most of your holiday and visit as many places as you can is on an island-hopping tour. If you want to do it in <a href="https://www.rainforestcruises.com/indonesia-cruises">luxury and style</a>, consider chartering a yacht. With thousands of places to explore, an exciting adventure awaits you in the country.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>Your yacht adventure will take you to many picturesque islands, where you can learn about the local cultures, explore fascinating landscapes, and come face to face with incredible wildlife species. There are many different islands you can visit, depending on your interests.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>If you want to come face to face with the world&#39;s biggest lizard, you can head to Komodo National Park. Those keen on exploring Indonesia&#39;s underwater scenery can include snorkelling and diving on their itinerary, allowing them to discover fascinating marine life, from colourful fish to dolphins and whales.</p>

<p></p>

<h2><strong><span style="white-space: normal;">5.<span style="white-space:pre"> </span>Go Diving in Raja Ampat&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</span></strong></h2>

<p></p>

<p><img alt="Raja Ampat Indonesia" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/ernests-vaga-Raja%20Ampat-unsplash.jpg" style="margin: 5px 7px; width: 700px; height: 466px;" /></p>

<p>Diving in Raja Ampat is one of the most luxurious things to do in Indonesia, especially for those interested in exploring underwater sceneries and coming face to face with fascinating marine life. A <a href="https://www.backpackerboy.com/diving-in-raja-ampat-indonesia/">bucket list destination for diving</a> and is considered the world&#39;s most marine biodiverse area. Thus, you can expect to discover thousands of incredible species here.</p>

<p></p>

<p>Raja Ampat boasts some of the healthiest and most pristine coral reefs in the world, teeming with marine life. Another great thing about diving in Raja Ampat is that it has warm waters, averaging 30 degrees Celsius.&nbsp;</p>

<p></p>

<p>As one of the world&#39;s best diving destinations, Raja Ampat is home to several dive resorts and around 40 liveaboards. You will find them in the Waigo and Misool areas and around the central area of the island. For a more enjoyable adventure, you can book liveaboards with combined trips to Triton Bay or a sailing adventure through the Banda Sea.</p>

<p>This article has nothing to do with the classic book by Ernest Hemingway published in 1940. It&rsquo;s just that, similar to Robert Jordan, the central character in the book, it&rsquo;s time western luxury brands need to blow the old bridge of a global uniformity approach while introducing and managing luxury in India.&nbsp;</p>

<p><img alt="Dior Fall 2023 show in Mumbai" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/dior%20fall%202023%20mumbai.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 465px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p><span style="color:#808080;"><em>Dior&#39;s Fall 2023 collection which was inspired by India, crafted in India, and showcased in India at Mumbai.</em></span></p>

<hr />
<p>There was a strong belief among luxury custodians that global brands with a global identity cater to a global culture. I would not disagree because in past years western luxury brands were mostly bought by an elite few who were globe trotters. They were more in tune with a global culture, with individualist buying value motivations, like hedonism and for self-pleasure.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Recent years in India have witnessed a technological revolution, a democratization of luxury, increasing aspirations and disposable income among a much wider canvas of Indians. India is fundamentally a more collectivist society wherein the reference and peer group influence do matter. There is a fondness for western luxury brands because they are considered aspirational in the reference group that matter to a consumer. Though it&rsquo;s an achievement-oriented society, there is respect for heritage, traditions, beliefs and faiths. It&rsquo;s heartening to see that some luxury and fashion brands have appreciated the diversity and cultural intensity of India.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
What triggered this article was a Facebook post recently by the CEO of Ethos Watch Boutiques, titled &ldquo;Raymond Weil &amp; Ethos present the Ganges Limited Edition&rdquo;. River Ganges, which springs from the Himalayas and flows across north India into the Bay of Bengal, is considered the holiest river of the land. Raymond Weil, in collaboration with Ethos, honoured the Ganges with a limited edition of 99 timepieces, thereby breathing a cultural meaning to the brand. It not about the sales and the revenue that these 99 pieces would generate. It&rsquo;s about how big a brand story Raymond Weil and Ethos could weave into the mind space of Indians &ndash; a strategic move to boost brand recall and sales thereon.</p>

<p><img alt="Raymond Weil Ganges collection" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/raymond-weil-ganges%20collection.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 560px; margin: 5px 7px;" /><br />
<span style="color:#808080;"><em>Raymond Weil&#39;s Ganges Limited Edition.</em></span> &nbsp;</p>

<hr />
<p>Way back in 2009, Swatch Group was a frontrunner in extending a cultural meaning to their mother brand &ldquo;Swatch&rdquo;, when they tied up with a leading Indian fashion designer Manish Arora for a colourful, funky collection weaved around India&rsquo;s Bollywood, pop, art and culture. Swatch globally built a compelling brand story which was communicated with both below and above the line media vehicles. The local team, with an extensive mall and PR strategy, followed by media campaigns, built a hype around the brand that resulted in a cascading effect on the sales of other Swatch products as well, and gave a boost to the image of the brand in the country.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
A master stroke was by Hermes &ndash; another frontrunner in the luxury industry &ndash; who in 2011 launched a limited edition Indian saree collection. By recreating the sari with its house codes, Hermes did manage to build an emotional connect with the Indian woman with this strategic cultural assimilation. They were priced between INR 3,00,000 to INR 4,00,000. With fabrics varying from cashmere to twill silk they were well within the affordability of the wealthy Indian.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
During this era, many big banner luxury brands came out with their own versions of India-inspired products. Some worked, while some bombed. And <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Luxury-Customisation---The-Secret-Ingredient">not entirely everyone was convinced</a> with the success of this strategy.</p>

<p><img alt="Priyanka Chopra Jonas Bvlgari mangalsutra" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/Priyanka%20Chopra%20bvlgari%20mangalsutra.jpg" style="width: 700px; height: 1050px; margin: 5px 7px;" /><br />
<span style="color:#808080;"><em>Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Bvlgari&#39;s Mangalsutra for Vogue India magazine.</em></span> &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<hr />
<p>Ten years later, luxury brands are back at the game. There was quite a bit of excitement when Bvlgari not only assigned <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Priyanka-Chopra-Jonas-becomes-the-newest-member-of">Priyanka Chopra Jonas as its brand ambassador</a>, but also launched the <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/A-Mangalsutra-for-the-Modern-Woman-Bvlgari-Stamps"><em>Mangalsutra</em></a> - a symbol of union between the husband and wife. This simple, traditional necklace is an emotional symbol, and priceless for the Indian woman. Bvlgari cleverly managed to introduce a cultural meaning to their brand by combining tradition with modernity. The <em>mangalsutra</em> is traditionally made with yellow gold and should incorporate black beads. Bvlgari, respecting the local nuances, crafted a smarter, modern version of the mangalsutra.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Louis Vuitton, in 2022, launched an <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Louis-Vuitton-launches-a-curated-footwear-collecti">India exclusive capsule collection of fashion footwear</a>&nbsp;for the Indian wedding season, priced between INR 75,000 to INR 1,20,000. This curated collection showcased the Rani Pink line, a reflection of Rajasthan royalty, metallic gold Shake block heels, and Time Out sneakers to name a few. The entire collection was in honour of the heritage, colours, and celebratory nature of the <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Making-Big-Bang-Weddings-Unique-Post-Covid">big fat Indian weddings</a>.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Franck Muller launched a <a href="https://www.watchtime.in/articles/news/1328/franck-muller-unveils-new-india-limited-edition-watches">150 pcs limited edition India specific collection</a> in the later part of 2022. This was an exclusive tie up with one of India&rsquo;s top luxury watch retailer - Kapoor Watch Company - on their 55th anniversary. The emerald hued and vintage-inspired sporty Vanguard watch came in two variants. It had the map of India etched on the back of the case. The steel and gold edition was priced at INR 11.7 lakhs and the rose gold edition cost the consumer INR 18.72 lakh.</p>

<p><img alt="Franck Muller India edition" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/franck%20muller%20india%20limited%20edition%20watch.jpeg" style="width: 700px; height: 467px; margin: 5px 7px;" /><br />
<span style="color:#808080;"><em>Franck Muller&#39;s India limited edition collection.</em></span> &nbsp;</p>

<hr />
<p>Jimmy Choo, in the first half of 2023, launched its <a href="https://in.fashionnetwork.com/news/Jimmy-choo-launches-exclusive-india-collection-shaan-,1472238.html">India exclusive &lsquo;Shaan&rsquo; collection</a>, the colourful stilettos and pumps which did appeal to a large section who love their heels to be colourful, glossy and glamourous. Reiterating its India presence, Franck Muller now has a cricket inspired collection for India, as does <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Extra-Butter-and-Adidas-unite-for-their-first-ever">Adidas in collaboration with Extra Butter</a>.</p>

<h2><strong>Cultural meaning &ndash; is it an advantage?</strong></h2>

<p>Similar to all collectivist societies, Indians too are influenced by their reference group&rsquo;s choices. Status and conspicuous consumption, bandwagon and snob effects are still dominant luxury buying motivations. Western luxury brands are considered very aspirational for the wealthy Indians. But at the same time, Indians take pride and have a strong appreciation for their own art, culture and heritage. A working Indian woman might go to attend her office in western attire but wear a saree in her traditional festival or religious functions. Even Indian men wear ethnic clothing on festivals. India has a fine blend of tradition and modernity. So extending a cultural meaning to the brand in a dominant collectivist Indian society is, I guess, a clever and relevant strategic move by luxury brands that have adopted this route.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
There is no denying this fact that luxury products must remain uniform in their character and DNA across the world. Their signature is many a times an outcome of the creator&rsquo;s genius. But launching a limited edition India specific collection never disturbs the applecart of global uniformity and identity. Swatch &ndash; the creative child of the legendary <a href="https://luxuryfacts.com/index.php/sections/article/Nicolas-Hayek-%281928-2010%29">Late Nicolas George Hayek</a>&nbsp;&ndash; was a frontrunner in extending a cultural meaning to the brand in India by launching a Manish Arora Capsule Collection. Mr. Hayek, who was always ahead of his times, knew that this trend will follow, and took a far-sighted decision in 2008.</p>

<p><img alt="Jimmy Choo Shaan collection" src="http://www.luxuryfacts.com/app/webroot/img/images/jimmy%20choo%20india%20shaan%20collection.jpeg" style="width: 700px; height: 936px; margin: 5px 7px;" /></p>

<p><span style="color:#808080;"><em>A part of the Shaan collection by Jimmy Choo.</em></span></p>

<hr />
<h2><strong>Brand communication &ndash; gets a shot in the arm</strong></h2>

<p>Such cultural respect gives luxury brand communication a long shot in the arm. Imagine how powerful a story brands can create in their communication strategies. A compelling brand storytelling is the key differentiator in modern day luxury communication. A myopic view could be to review and assess the success of such a curated collection basis the sales it generates. It is not about how quickly the 99 pieces of the limited edition Raymond Weil River Ganges collection would sell out, it&rsquo;s more about how powerful a brand story they can create around it. That would result in a top-of-the-mind brand recall and cascading sales of other products of the brand.</p>

<h2><strong>A future perspective &ndash; for luxury brands to ponder</strong></h2>

<p>Without getting into an overkill zone or compromising the core DNA values, western luxury brands can continue launching small curated India specific collections, paying tribute to rich cultural symbols of the country.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Apart from products, brands can play with visual merchandising in stores by assimilating cultural symbols that do not dilute the luxury image of the brand, and is still in sync with values and brand salience.</p>

<blockquote>
<p><span style="color:#ff3366;"><span style="font-size:24px;"><span style="font-family:georgia,serif;"><em>&quot;...the most critical element is a sustained soft skills training of retail staff on &ldquo;Maharaja Treatment&rdquo; to everyone who enters the store without bias and judgement.&quot;</em></span></span></span></p>
</blockquote>

<p>Experiential communication and marketing is the next big thing for luxury brands. Brands may ponder over assimilating some local cultural elements into their global umbrella experiential offering to consumers. Can Louis Vuitton or Hermes organise a ramp show with Bollywood celebrities with the iconic Taj Mahal in the back drop or display products in branded boats on River Ganges? Dior did take the cake with its magnificently staged Fall 2023 collection presentation in front of Gateway of India this year. Can Harley Davidson engage riders for a ride across India ending at India Gate to pay homage to martyrs? An Omega or Rolex can think completely out of the box and organise a &ldquo;India or Bharat Darshan&rdquo;, a visit to key iconic cultural spots for only the Gen Z or millennials brand owners. Youngsters may be selected basis a brand competition. This will not only create a brand story and a buzz, but also help build an emotional connect. Be a part of the India heritage and story to bridge emotions. That&rsquo;s what luxury is all about.</p>

<p>Indians hail from the land of the Maharajas. It&rsquo;s a society with high power nuances, and therefore the latent expectations of wealthy Indians is to get a Maharaja kind of treatment inside a luxury store. So build such flagship stores. Technical knowledge, brand history, staff personality and communication requirements are a &lsquo;given&rsquo;. But the most critical element is a sustained soft skills training of retail staff on &ldquo;Maharaja Treatment&rdquo; to everyone who enters the store without bias and judgement. One would be the buyer and the other may be a potential consumer or a brand ambassador once they leave the store premises.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
The impact of culture on buying motivations for luxury brands is significant. With Bain &amp; Co Report 2022 projecting a $200bn Indian luxury market by 2030, which would be 3.5 times of its current size, brand custodians must quickly go back to the drawing board to draw a strategic graph towards extending a cultural meaning through curated capsule product collections and culturally assimilated communication with compelling brand storytelling and experiential marketing to connect emotionally with the Indian consumer. Aim not only for sales, but also for ushering in a brand love and addiction among your most loyal clients.</p>
