Of all the things to receive a boost during the past few months, when opportunities to go out have been limited at best, one of the most encouraging is the noble art of mahjong, the perfect way to while away an afternoon, evening, or entire week while stuck at home. Now, proving that the venerable Chinese game continues to have global appeal – or possibly just that Western brands really need the Chinese market – Italian luxury fashion brand Brunello Cucinelli has launched its first mahjong set.

The tasteful set is made from a combination of European walnut wood and Krion, a hyper-modern, stone-like synthetic material that’s warm to the touch. The set can only be ordered at the brand’s stores – it has four in Hong Kong, you’ll no doubt be delighted to learn – and the brand is only revealing the price on request.

Hong Kong’s very own Macallan Room 

The opening was marked by the launch of two whiskies new to the APAC region: The Macallan Double Cask 15 Years Old and Double Cask 18 Years Old. The pair follow the successful launch of the Double Cask 12 Years Old in 2016. Aged in barrels made from a combination of North American and European oak, these new additions promise greater depth and complexity. The 15 Years delivers notes of dried fruit, toffee and vanilla, while the 18 Years has a similar but spicier edge with hints of ginger.

Moncler x Rimowa Reflection suitcase

Just in case you don’t already have enough opportunities to broadcast your thoughts to the world, Franco-Italian upscale outdoor clothing brand Moncler and tough-luxe luggage brand Rimowa have another one for you: your suitcase. A numbered, limited edition subset of the brands’ new Reflection suitcase, launched in September, includes an LED screen that displays the text of the owner’s choosing, inputted via a special app. The Reflection, which is based on the Rimowa Original Cabin, comes in mirrored aluminium. Its reflective surface recalls the glaze on Moncler’s outdoor gear, it features matt black handles and riveted corners, and it includes a padded nylon silver packing cube set.

The case, originally unveiled at the Moncler Genius 2020 show in Milan in February, is part of the third iteration of the Moncler Genius project, in which the brand collaborates with a different designer each month on new interpretations of its identity.
