It’s a week that has decided summer is happening, whether we’re ready or not. Longchamp has brought the beach to Sloane Square (spoiler: it’s better than the actual beach).
There’s a pizza that may be the most exciting food collaboration of the year, which is a sentence I didn’t expect to be writing. A heritage British luggage brand has finally got the flagship it always deserved. One wellness device has moved from whisper to seriously mainstream. And the swimwear collab of the season has landed with the kind of confidence we all should have this season. Your May edit starts now.
VISIT THIS La Plage Longchamp, Sloane Square
There is something both very French and very clever about what Longchamp has done to Sloane Square this week: turned one of London’s most refined postcodes into a surf-inspired beach club and somehow made it feel completely at home there. Running until 12 May, La Plage Longchamp is the London stop on the Maison’s global tour inspired by its Summer 2026 collection, Catch the Parisian Wave — a world where striped sun loungers, limited-edition surfboards and the particular brand of offhand elegance that only the French truly own collide in the most pleasing way. The pop-up is free and open daily from 10am to 7pm, offering summer drinks (a kalamansi lemonade, a vanilla coconut matcha and a Blue Gaze smoothie, since you ask), artist-led workshops – shell painting, sunset watercolour sessions – bookable via Eventbrite, and on selected evenings over the bank holiday, live DJ sets from a campervan. The Spring/Summer 2026 collection is available to browse and buy on-site. We suspect the lemonade alone is worth the detour.
SHOP THIS Antler, 100 Regent Street
The British brand Antler has reclaimed its place. Founded in 1914 and a name once synonymous with serious, lifelong luggage, Antler has opened its first standalone UK flagship at 100 Regent Street, and it is, in a word, exactly right. Spanning two floors and over 2,400 square feet, the store has been designed in collaboration with Checkland Kindleysides, with furniture by Faye Toogood and a floral installation by Hamish Powell winding through the ground floor, which really sets the tone. There’s a bespoke six-metre table at the centre where you’re actively encouraged to open cases and handle everything, an intimate lounge in the lower ground floor serving refreshments, and a signature scent – Shared Worlds – that will almost certainly make you want to book a flight immediately. The opening also marks the launch of the Antler Monogram, a new brand code in signature green, archival coral and warm white, available on a range of flagship exclusives including a cashmere scarf made by Johnstons of Elgin. We’re all for it.
WEAR THIS Burberry x Hunza G
Two great British originals, one very good swimwear capsule. Burberry and Hunza G have collaborated on a limited-edition collection that arrived last Sunday and has already generated exactly the level of excitement it deserves. The pairing makes complete sense once you see it: Hunza G’s Original Crinkle fabric, with the uncommon ability to support and sculpt in its one-size-fits approach, reworked in Burberry’s heritage palette of black, white, metallic cocoa and red, with the iconic Check trim woven through. Four of Hunza G’s most beloved silhouettes – the Faye, Tyler, Domino and Devyn – form the core of the collection, alongside a multifunctional swim skirt and tube top, each arriving with a matching scrunchie. A new seahorse motif reimagines the Burberry Knight for aquatic adventures. The campaign is fronted by Simone Ashley and Alva Claire in convincingly sun-soaked settings. ‘Hunza G has always been about making women feel their most confident,’ says Georgiana Huddart, Hunza G founder and Creative Director. ‘Bringing that together with the heritage of Burberry felt natural, to create something special that feels effortless. That’s always been the goal.’
TRY THIS This Works Red Light Body Wrap
Red light therapy is the wellness category that launched a thousand slightly bewildering Instagram videos, but beneath this, its a genuinely interesting product. This Works has just made its first ever foray into device technology with the Red Light Body Wrap. The wearable device uses two clinically recognised wavelengths – 660nm red light and 850nm near-infrared – to target fine lines, uneven skin texture, stretch marks and scalp health, designed to easily slot into your daily life rather than gather dust on a shelf after the initial appeal. The device’s origins are, unusually, personal. The founder herself turned to red light therapy during recovery from her second hip surgery and found the results transformative. When the person running a skincare company becomes the brand’s most credible case study, you pay attention. And this, indeed, works.
EAT HERE Birria Pizza by Crust Bros x Cavita
I’ll be honest, the words ‘Neapolitan pizza’ and ‘Cinco de Mayo’ did not feel immediately feel like a match, until we tried this. Crust Bros, the award-winning pizza group, has collaborated with Adriana Cavita – chef-founder of the acclaimed modern Mexican restaurant Cavita – to create a Birria Pizza that is quite magnificent. Built on Crust Bros’ freshly prepared dough, it’s topped with a deeply savoury birria gravy base, slow-cooked birria meat, smoked mozzarella and parmesan, then finished with pineapple pico de gallo, fresh avocado salsa and a habanero kick, with a pot of birria dipping sauce for the crusts. Its rich, acidic, spicy and fresh all at once, which is exactly the kind of complexity you’d hope for when two serious kitchens from very different culinary traditions decide to trust each other.
