When I think of summer, Marbella comes to mind. It has become synonymous with my life during the months of July and August. While I may consider visiting other places like the Scrovegni Chapel or Noto, I know that I will not have the opportunity to explore them this summer, just like last year. Come the end of July, I am destined to follow the familiar path through the beautiful gardens of the Marbella Club and spend my days at the beach.
Despite having an office and work to attend to, there is something magical about the way time stretches in this southern European haven. Even if I step away from my desk at 4pm, there is enough time to enjoy a leisurely lunch, take a swim, enjoy a cigar, play a game of backgammon, and still get ready for the evening ahead. The appeal lies in the fact that it doesn’t feel like a traditional vacation, but rather an extension of my life in a brighter and hotter setting.
Cifonelli presents their linen Teba jacket, a must-have for summer. With its safari jacket style, it combines both style and practicality with its numerous pockets. However, there are safaris, and then there are Cifonelli safaris. Lorenzo Cifonelli continuously experiments with the design, and this year, he has introduced a completely unstructured version. This jacket maintains the classic safari features like the shirt cuff and pleated flapped pocket, but adds a touch of elegance with an out-breast pocket and notched lapel. Available for €750 at cifonelli.com.
For those who love their lighters, but don’t want to risk losing or having them confiscated during travel, Lorenzi has the perfect solution. Their staghorn lighter holder is both unique and decorative. In case of a baggage search, simply extract the disposable plastic lighter from the sheath and hand it over. Available for £230 at Connolly in London.
Protect your sunglasses with style by using the Valextra glasses case with lanyard. The case’s shape and concept are reminiscent of older pleather covers, and the addition of the lanyard adds functionality to the chic design. Made from pale-cream leather, it strikes the perfect balance between practicality and elegance. Available for £380 at valextra.com.
Create an effortless and stylish look with Vilebrequin’s shirt and swim-short combo. The shirt is made from translucent voile, making it smart enough for lunch at the beach club while keeping you cool in the afternoon sun. It takes the guesswork out of deciding what to wear, just like a dark suit in the city. Voile shirts are priced at £210, and matching swim shorts at £230, both available at vilebrequin.com.
Transport your cigars in style and keep them perfectly humidified with the Fallon cigar case. Made from bright buffalo hides, these sleeves not only look cheerful but also feature a special seal that maintains the humidity of the cigars. This means you can take them anywhere without worrying about the condition. From £550 at davidofflondon.com.
