THE FINE JEWELLERY LAUNCH
Okhtein Fine Jewellery
Known for its ornate handbags and signature brasswork, Okhtein has quietly stepped into a new chapter with the launch of its first fine jewellery collection. Crafted in 18K gold and laced with sapphires, diamonds and symbolic detail, the pieces echo the sisters’ Egyptian heritage –from rosary-inspired necklaces to snake-shaped rings drawn from ancient royalty. Now available at the brand’s flagship in City Walk, each family of designs, including Bond Link, Unum and Spiral Rod, reads like a love letter to connection and craft.

THE SCENT

SheerLuxe favourite COS has entered the world of fragrance.

THE HOTEL
Orient Express La Minerva
Orient Express La Minerva is now open in Rome. Anchored in history, the hotel is found inside a revived 17th-century palazzo off Piazza Della Minerva 69, just steps from the Pantheon. The design-centred hotel has 93 rooms and 36 suites – each space entirely singular in scale and layout. Like its trains, each room is an homage to the golden age of travel, featuring bespoke bedside trunks, rich wooden detailing reminiscent of the legendary carriages and luxurious bedding crafted by Rivolta Carmignani, the same linens once gracing Orient Express sleeper cars. The hotel follows the recent launch of La Dolce Vita Orient Express through Italy and ahead of the opening of the Orient Express Palazzo Donà Giovannelli in Venice later this year.
THE FASHION COLLAB

Each piece is designed to empower – celebrating femininity while also offering a sense of strength. Expect vibrant colour blocking, sculptural shapes, and versatile pieces perfect for day-to-night dressing. The collection lands in selected stores and online at stories.com on 15th May.
