The bag you can wear: Inside La Notte by Adrian Fürstenburg
La Notte, which means 'the night' in Italian, transforms a 67 x 67cm silk scarf, printed with golden leopard and baroque motifs, into a striking summer accessory. Expertly knotted onto a structured tan leather handle featuring saddle-stitch detailing, the scarf moulds into the perfect slouchy carryall for all your travel essentials and seamless shifts from sun-soaked days to moonlit evenings. The best part? Lightweight and foldable, the bag is designed for versatility with the ability to be untied and worn separately as a wrap or accessory, making La Notte as multifunctional as it is beautiful.
'As a trained textile designer, patterns and motifs are always a big source of inspiration, and I loved how my team and I created this concept.'
Fürstenburg's background in textile design is evident in the bag's rich patterns and thoughtful craftsmanship. The golden leopard and baroque prints evoke a sense of timeless elegance paired with a playful spirit—a signature that brings depth to the piece without overwhelming its simplicity. 'La Notte came from a simple idea: how do you turn something beautiful into something practical without complicating it?' Fürstenburg explains. This balance between softness and structure, luxury and ease perfectly captures the quiet confidence of modern summer style.
Attention to detail continues with options for personalisation, including foil monogramming in gold or silver and a choice of matching hardware. Measuring approximately 35cm wide by 30cm high (depending how the scarf is knotted), La Notte is sized for easy portability without sacrificing presence. Produced in limited quantities, each piece exemplifies Fürstenburg's commitment to slow luxury and heirloom-quality design.
Striking the balance between trendy and timeless, La Notte reflects the scarf-inspired accessory movement seen unfolding across spring/summer 2025 runway and street style—from printed scarves worn as wearable art at Louis Vuitton's spring/summer 2025 show to modular, convertible bag styles showcased by Bottega Veneta. Designers have embraced bold prints and versatile scarves as integral styling elements this season, but La Notte pairs its dramatic motif with premium leather, polished hardware and refined construction. The result is a piece that feels modern and trend-aligned yet retains a lasting allure well beyond the current fashion cycle.
Styling La Notte is simple yet impactful: knot the scarf handle over a breezy white linen dress for a casual daytime look, or untie the scarf to wear as a chic wrap over evening wear. It's sculptural form and tactile silk invite movement, making it a companion that carries both essentials and style. La Notte stands as a reflection of Adrian Fürstenburg's dedication to combining craftsmanship, innovation and emotional resonance in every creation as it offers itself not only a practical accessory, but an emblem of effortless elegance for summer and beyond.

'How dare you': YouTubers call out London stall for selling 'fake Malaysian food', Lifestyle News
Manchurian chicken, sweet and sour tofu? These two dishes definitely do not come to mind when one thinks of Malaysian food, and one British YouTuber named Pat was none too pleased when he came across these items being sold under the guise of "Malaysian street food" at a London market. For some context, Pat is one half of the duo behind Pat & Giulia, a British-Italian couple who spent six months locked down in Malaysia during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is understandable then that they developed an appreciation for Malaysian food, as well as a basic grasp of Bahasa Melayu. In the video published on Tuesday (July 22), the couple appear to be on a mission to seek out both authentic and inauthentic Malaysian cuisine in London. Sharing that London is home to a large number of Malaysians, they wrote: "There exists some very good Malaysian food, but we also uncovered some of those selling fake Malaysian food." "Now we're back in London, we're craving a bit of Malaysian food, so we thought we'd come out here to get some," said Pat. Their first stop? An eatery in northeast London known for offering "the cheapest roti canai (roti prata) in London". "British people love a roti canai, let me tell you," said Pat. Their order of two roti canais cost £4.95 (S$8.60), along with two curry puffs for £1.80. Their review of the curry puffs? "Very nice," said both. "It actually tastes like Malaysian ones, doesn't it?" Pat remarked. The freshly made "not frozen" rotis also received good reviews. The dish came with a dhal curry as well as sambal. "Very, very delicious," said Pat, adding that it might be the best roti canai he's had in London. "It's like being back in Malaysia," Giulia concurred. However, their next stop in their Malaysian food hunt left more to be desired, with Pat proclaiming that they'd "found fake Malaysian food in London". They do not identify the stall's location, but the camera pans to a shot of Camden Lock, suggesting that it could be at Camden Market, a place known for its many food stalls. When asked what's classic Malaysian food, a man behind the Malaysian food stall replies, "beef rendang" and "chilli chicken Manchurian", even adding that it's a "traditional curry from Malaysia". "Interesting," Pat responds. The hawker then recommends "sweet and sour tofu", as well as a soupy item he introduces as "laksa". "Can you speak Bahasa Melayu?" Pat quizzes the pair in Malay, also asking "Dari mana (where are you from)?" But it is evident that they don't speak the language. "You guys aren't Malaysian," Pat adds, to which the duo behind the counter state that their boss is from Malaysia, more specifically, Penang. Needless to say, Pat and Giulia leave empty handed. 'How dare you say this is Malaysian?' "How funny was that?" Pat remarked to the camera following the encounter. "It wasn't Malaysian food at all... we called them all out." Sharing that he was "getting a bit annoyed", he added: "How dare you say this is Malaysian [food]?" Pat also indicated that the items sold were all "typical Chinese-British food". "There we go, fake Malaysian food here in London," he quipped. Many in the comments praised the couple for their effort in calling out such stalls and also for appreciating Malaysian culture. "You guys are so Malaysianised... For non-Malaysians to be able to spot that fake stall is crazy, respect!" one commenter stated. Wrote another: "I hope this brings awareness and vendors should stop misrepresenting and mis-labelling food as an easy way out. Good on ya for pointing it out. I'd be hangry too." One netizen appeared to notice another small sign that the stall wasn't authentic. "The guy didn't call you 'boss', which suggests he isn't Malaysian selling authentic Malaysian food," joked another, to which several others agreed. [[nid:678898]] candicecai@

Venus Williams, the tennis icon, is engaged to her actor boyfriend Andrea Preti. The seven-time Grand Slam singles champion confirmed her engagement with the former model after winning her first singles match in 16 months on Tuesday (July 22). She became the oldest tennis player to win the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) singles match since 2004 after beating Peyton Stearns at the Citi Open in Washington, D.C. The legendary tennis player spoke about her fiancé in a post-match interview, saying he motivated her comeback. She shared that Preti, 37, was a huge source of encouragement on the comeback trail. "My fiancé is here and he really encouraged me to keep playing. There were many times where I just wanted to coast and kind of chill. Do you know how hard it is to play tennis? You guys don't know how much work goes into this, like it's 9 to 5 except you're running the whole time. Lifting weights and just like dying, and then you repeat it the next day. So he encouraged me to get through this, and it's wonderful to be here. He's never seen me play," the tennis icon said. The legendary tennis player was on a hiatus due to health issues. She had a surgery to remove fibroids from her uterus. Her last match was in March 2024, and there were several rumors about her silent retirement. Who is Andrea Preti? The Danish-born Italian actor and producer, 37, spent his childhood in Denmark and moved to Italy during his teenage years. He began his career as a model and gradually tried to build his name in both front and behind the cameras. Preti initially focused on acting and got his training from the Susan Batson Studio in New York. Williams' fiancé played different roles in commercials, TV shows, and films. He showcased his skills in various areas of filmmaking through the 2014 movie, One More Day. Preti wrote, starred, and directed in this flick. He was part of the 2023 Italian TV series A Professor. The Italian actor gained attention for his role in the 2022 film Temptation. He also received public attention through his appearance on the reality show La Talpa.
