Porsche Now Pop-up

One of only two locations set to open in B.C., Porsche Now is a pop-up in CF Richmond Centre showcasing the German carmaker’s battery-operated vehicles. Kitted out in sustainable materials such as cardboard-tube walls and a floor made from recycled running shoes, the pint-sized space also features sustainable projects including Porsche’s electric bike and a miniature café.

Omega Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition Watch

The official timekeeper of the Olympic Games since 1932, Omega introduces its Paris 2024 Bronze Gold Edition timepiece, paying tribute to Olympic glory in bronze, silver, and gold. Inspired by a classic Omega wristwatch from 1939, the limited-edition manual-winding watch features a 39-millimetre case crafted in bronze gold, a silver dial, and 18-karat gold hands for the win.

Launching this month, Vanilla Bourbon eau de parfum by Nest New York arrives redolent of orange bitters, brown sugar, night-blooming jasmine, and a hint of soft musk.

Herschel Classic Backpack

Herschel’s durable new Classic backpack makes the grade in clear lightweight plastic with exposed trim, padded shoulder straps, and water bottle pocket. In black or ash rose, the new back-to-school collection includes fanny packs and crossbody bags.

Horsepower by Hope Couture 

This August, two of Vancouver’s best bespoke boutiques, Bacci’s and Boboli, team up to host Horsepower, an evening of fashion and sartorial frolic in support of CLICK (Contributing to the Lives of Inner City Kids). This year, the highly anticipated fashion show takes place at Southlands Riding Club, where festival garb from vintage Gianni Barbato to upstart Tecovas is encouraged. The irrepressible Fred Lee hosts the event, while Savoury Chef provides bites. Models walk the catwalk—a.k.a., the horse arena—in fall’s most exciting new collections from Dries Van Noten, Rick Owens, Nina Ricci, Sacai, Simone Rocha, and more.
