LVMH's ultra-luxury hospitality brand creates perfect synergy between fashion and five-star accommodations. The 72-room Parisian haven, designed by architect Peter Marino, marries contemporary boldness with Art Déco heritage.

Highly trained 'alchemists' deliver personalised service reflecting the quintessential French Art de Recevoir. Fendi Private Suites
With just seven meticulously designed suites housed within Palazzo Fendi itself, Fendi offers perhaps the most intimate designer immersion available. Each suite showcases exquisite Fendi Casa pieces, with some featuring Karl Lagerfeld's photographs celebrating Rome's iconic fountains.
The experience transcends accommodation—guests receive Fendi Selleria cardholders and access to private boutique tours. Diptyque toiletries, underfloor heating and iPads pre-loaded with Fendi-curated Rome itineraries complete the experience. Armani Hotels
Giorgio Armani's hospitality ventures embody his signature minimalist luxury. The designer personally oversaw every design detail at the Armani hotels, ensuring these properties genuinely reflect his 'Stay with Armani' philosophy. Interiors feature sleek lines, monochromatic palettes and sumptuous Eramosa stone floors, and each touchpoint—from custom Armani/Casa furnishings to signature toiletries—reinforces the sensation of living within Armani's cultivated world. The immersion continues through Armani/Spa experiences, Armani/Ristorante dining and service from dedicated lifestyle managers (or Armani ambassadors).

What are luxury brands doing in the face of trade tariffs?
Above Maroquinerie de Louviers in Normandy is Hermès' 21st workshop (Photo: Hermès) Many high-end brands have also accelerated domestic production capabilities in the last few years. Whether these were in direct relation to imposed tariffs is unknown. For instance, LVMH has increased its European production capabilities, particularly for Louis Vuitton leather goods. Two new ateliers have opened in France in 2022 and increased hiring has been widely reported. Similarly, Richemont, Van Cleef & Arpels' parent company, has been investing in expanding its French manufacturing footprint for the jewellery brand, including plans to open two new workshops in France by 2026. This will create approximately 600 new jobs. In April 2023, Hermès opened a new leather workshop, Maroquinerie de Louviers, in Normandy. Since 2010, Hermès has opened 11 leather goods workshops in France. Read more: The Arnault effect: how LVMH defines global luxury, indulgence and desire TikTok manufacturing exposé Above Viral TikToks show luxury bags made in Chinese factories (Photo: Screenshot of TikTok) The trade tensions have sparked an unexpected cultural phenomenon that further complicates the luxury industry's narrative. In April 2025, Chinese manufacturers began flooding TikTok with viral videos claiming to expose the truth behind luxury goods manufacturing; factory owners present themselves as the original equipment manufacturers for major luxury brands while standing in front of walls of what appear to be expensive handbags. These 'Trade War TikTok' videos feature sales agents breaking down the material costs of luxury goods, claiming items like Hermès Birkin bags and Lululemon leggings cost just a fraction of their retail prices to produce. However, experts labelled many of these claims as false, noting that the videos represent a form of mass consumer disinformation rather than factual exposés; a well-oiled machine to sell high-quality counterfeit goods. Read more: The best quirky bag charms to Jane Birkin-fy your bag Diversification of materials Above Chanel known for its tweed, recently acquired a 35 per cent stake in an Italian silk manufacturing company () Perhaps the most intriguing development has been the acceleration of material innovation and diversification. Faced with unpredictable costs for traditional luxury materials, brands have invested in alternatives. Since its launch in 2001, Stella McCartney has been committed to using sustainable materials in its products, refusing to use leather, fur, skins, feathers or animal glues. It continues to lead in this area, with garments made from planet-friendly alternatives such as grape-based leather substitutes in partnership with Veuve Clicquot. The vegan leather is manufactured from 80 per cent recycled materials. Chanel has increased its use of French-produced tweeds and Italian silks. In April 2025, after 50 years of working together with Italian silk manufacturer Mantero Setamarketing in Como, Italy, it acquired a 35 per cent stake in the company. Chanel president of fashion Bruno Pavlovsky said before the brand's Cruise 2025-26 show, 'I always say that Chanel is half French and half Italian.'

China's luxury goods production has evolved beyond simple contract manufacturing toward full-service partnerships that include design, materials sourcing and even marketing support. Vietnam has emerged as a particular beneficiary, with leather footwear production increasing by 31.8 per cent since 2025. Bangladesh, traditionally associated with fast fashion, has made surprising inroads into luxury accessories. It is actively promoting its leather, footwear, and leather goods sector internationally and is recognised as a competitive sourcing destination for global buyers.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) has facilitated smoother trade flows within Asia, allowing manufacturers to source materials regionally and maintain competitive pricing despite external tariff pressures. The rise of Asian luxury Above (Video: Shang Xia) Asian luxury brands themselves have turned trade tensions into competitive advantages. Chinese brands like Shang Xia (backed by Hermès) and Qeelin have emphasised their domestic heritage, appealing to both local pride and international curiosity about authentic Asian luxury. Japanese brands have been particularly strategic, leveraging their reputation for quality while maintaining manufacturing flexibility. Issey Miyake has expanded production capabilities in both Japan and selected Southeast Asian facilities, allowing the brand to serve different markets through optimal supply chain configurations. Read more: Chinese designer Yang Li is Shang Xia's new fashion director Strategic moves for luxury consumers Above Savvy luxury customers understand the industry shifts and are adjusting their purchasing decisions () For discerning buyers, understanding these industry shifts presents clear opportunities to maximise purchasing power while building more strategic collections. The most sophisticated consumers are already adjusting their approach to luxury acquisition. Savvy buyers are monitoring production cycles and tariff announcements to optimise purchase timing. Items manufactured before tariff implementations often remain at lower price points until inventory clears. Heritage pieces are also smart pieces to invest in. These items produced in the brands' traditional manufacturing bases are less susceptible to tariff-related price volatility. These pieces also tend to hold value better over time, making them superior long-term investments. As new luxury goods face pricing pressure from tariffs, pre-owned alternatives become comparatively more attractive, often offering items from periods when manufacturing costs were lower. Read more: The Tatler Guide to matching watches according to dress codes A new global fashion geography The long-term implications extend far beyond individual brand strategies. We're witnessing the emergence of a truly multipolar fashion industry, where production decisions are driven by sophisticated calculations that balance quality, cost, cultural authenticity and political stability. Smart luxury brands are treating this complexity as an opportunity rather than a burden. They're building supply chains that are not just efficient but also resilient, creative and aligned with evolving consumer values around transparency and sustainability. For investors and industry observers, the message is clear: the brands that will thrive in this new environment are those that view trade tensions not as obstacles to overcome, but as catalysts for innovation and differentiation. In an industry built on exclusivity and craftsmanship, the ability to tell compelling stories about provenance and production has become as valuable as the products themselves. The tariff era has fundamentally altered fashion's global calculus, but the industry's response suggests that adaptability remains its greatest luxury.

Arnaud Zannier, Founder & CEO Zannier Hotels and the desire for a unique path
Above Arnaud Zannier, Founder & CEO Zannier Hotels He is indeed a pioneer—the scion of a notable French family that made its fortune in the children's apparel business. The brash young Arnaud passed on the chance to enter his father's trade, splintering off and co-founding a successful footwear company instead. However, it was his passion for travel in exotic destinations around the world that inspired his most impactful business ideas. Staying in some of the finest luxury hotels during his travels, he soon grew tired of the inauthentic experiences they offered. Dissatisfied, his thoughts turned to founding his own deluxe resort brand perfectly suited to the tastes and temperament of discerning voyagers such as himself. The opportunity to bring his ideas to reality came when his father asked him to reconsider being part of the family business and come back into the fold. Reluctant to take a step backwards, he instead raised his thoughts about a new approach to hospitality, showing how the luxury market was in need of an alternative take with fresh parameters. It was just an idea dropped in conversation—but six months later, Zannier's father called back with a spectacular real estate opportunity in the French Alps. Having his family's full financial resources standing behind their prodigal son, Zannier had a prime opportunity to put his concept to the test. 'I didn't know anything about hospitality,' he admits. 'Never attended any schools about hospitality, nothing. It was just an aspiration for something different. As a consumer, when I was traveling, I was never fully happy—because to me, not all the elements were within the composition of the experience. This is how I proposed the idea to my family. I didn't know anything about hospitality. Never attended any schools about hospitality, nothing. It was just an aspiration for something different. - Arnaud Zannier - 'We started Le Chalet small, with only 12 suites, but we tailor-made the product, every detail—including hiring 40 staff, so it was practically butler service at every level. It worked.' What Zannier created on the snow-covered slopes of the Mont-Blanc mountain range was a remarkable concept, considering the norms of luxury hospitality. Rather than meet any particular niche or respond to trends in a certain market segment, Zannier built a high-end accommodation brand aesthetic based entirely on his own approach and vision. In personally creating the design language for Zannier the brand, there's a stamp on each of his resorts that is Zannier the man. All Zannier Hotels properties in operation today, including Le Chalet and his properties in Cambodia, Namibia, and Vietnam, amongst others, exist as a reflection of their owner. 'When you're passionate, you need to express yourself and do exactly what you want, otherwise you're no good at it,' says Zannier. 'So for me, it was very important to start with something that I was 200% dedicated to and deeply invested in. 'I don't like boundaries, I don't like to be channelled into anything. I create what I feel is right for the place and hope that guests will see what I see and enjoy it the same way. This is how it started. Luckily, quickly, even after the first property, we had the success we were hoping for. So I simply continue to do what I like to do. I never force myself to do anything I don't like. You won't see any glass or milk pot, anything in our property that I didn't choose. If I don't like it, it's not there. 'I never compromise. Compromise is wrong. You end up having something that's halfway, and it's not as strong.' Read More: How to spend 48 hours in the ancient capital of Hue Leaning into locality Above All Zannier hotels in operation today, including Le Chalet and properties in Cambodia, Namibia and Vietnam, among others, are true reflections of their passionate owner. In many ways, Zannier's instincts were prescient of a broader thirst amongst luxury travellers for more authentic, localised experiences. Whilst he was determined to cleave to his own personal tastes, those tastes extended to a fascination for authenticity of place, for locality and genuine cultural alignment. In the days when Zannier travelled himself—now a rare pleasure for the owner of an ever-expanding portfolio of resorts and private estates—he would always find himself looking outward from his five-star accommodations at the nearby villages and towns, perhaps wishing, as the most sensitive travellers sometimes do, to be able to walk inside any of those foreign dwellings and be home . 'It probably comes from growing up in a family environment and culture where luxury is not always about the material or the branding, but more about the experiences,' remembers Zannier. 'We had a family weekend house where friends were always staying. My father loved to receive them and serve good wine, good food, spend quality moments together—but in a simple way, not to impress. 'I was brought up in this environment, in this surrounding. I believe it reflects what I do today. It's not the most expensive item that's going to create the most incredible or memorable experiences.' Zannier's family memories hearken back to a time before digital addictions and the habit of travelling with devices perpetually in hand, before the Wi-Fi password became the first question resort guests ask when arriving at their rooms. Above Arnaud Zannier, Founder & CEO Zannier Hotels (left) and Alain Bachmann, General Manager Zannier Bai San Ho 'I was raised in a generation where grandparents were still very present,' he says. 'My grandmother cooking, the smell of hot bread and coffee in the kitchen in the morning—these are all emotions, feelings that are printed in your memory. 'My grandparents were farmers in the middle of France, so I used to spend my holidays there, getting fresh milk from the farm next door in the evening, going with my grandfather to collect mushrooms in the forest when the season was right. These are all simple moments that are disappearing from modern life, which I find a shame because these are very grounding moments that procure memories. And this is what I'm trying to do in the hotels—being able to create and imprint simple memories in the mind of a guest. 'For me, those subtle and unique little moments stick better than saying, 'oh, my bathroom had a golden tap'. And as a person, I am not looking for that. When I was traveling, I wanted my kids to taste local food at the market rather than have something that you can get anywhere in the world, such as fancy sushi. You should get sushi when you go to Japan, but why would you want to do sushi if you're in Italy? No—do the best mozzarella and tomatoes. Serve a great paella when you're in Spain. 'This is my philosophy. This is what I'm trying to translate through the creation of all these hotels.' The spirit of wellness Above Arnaud Zannier, Founder & CEO Zannier Hotels Zannier Hotels is currently undergoing a gradual transformation towards a new set of protocols promoting holistic wellness at all resorts, whilst developing fresh, wellness-themed packages for offer to guests during their stay. At Zannier Bãi San Hô, there is a palpable mood of wholesomeness and balance that is swiftly becoming a key focus of the hospitality experience. Six months ago, the group appointed a new regional spa person in charge of both Cambodia and Vietnam, who managed to successfully boost spa revenues by 50 percent since her arrival by reaching beyond the traditional spa menu and developing broader, more impactful programmes. 'We don't want to become just a wellness destination or healthcare specialists,' explains Zannier. 'It's still a leisure hotel, but we want to help people understand why something is good for you or not in terms of nutrition or activities; if you need something that is more calming, or something more active, depending on your body type. 'We start with a screening process with the help of a bio-resonance machine. Our Wellness Manager will welcome you and ask you some questions. We'll look at your eyes, your tongue, and try to identify your body type—because we're inspired by Ayurvedic and ancient Chinese medicine, where it's all about energy. Then, after the screening, you get a program that will be a mix of activities. Yoga on the beach at sunrise. Maybe eat a bit more fruit in the morning to better capture your vitamins. Or take a shower in the evening to release the stress of the day, and you might go to sleep faster. They're all just small tips. 'What we want is for our guests to take with them the knowledge of how to continue and introduce all these elements within their daily life routine at home, so that it has a profound and lasting change on their wellness. We want to make a long-term impact.' Above Arnaud Zannier, Founder & CEO Zannier Hotels Of course, it's no accident that Zannier Bãi San Hô is embracing first this new approach. As with all things connected with the brand, this new progression directly follows the spiritual evolution of the man himself. For the first time in this conversation, Arnaud Zannier appears shy. 'Why am I doing this?' he blushes. 'Again, everything is very personal. Six years ago, I separated from my wife, now my ex-wife. After the divorce, I found a new partner, who is my wife today. She was just really into wellbeing, and I educated myself, indirectly, through her.' In this new love, Zannier has found a renewed energy in life, which is now manifest in the resorts that bear his name—and he has much to share about the discoveries he has made through his relationship. I never compromise. Compromise is wrong. You end up having something that's halfway, and it's not as strong. - Arnaud Zannier - 'You know, life changes are done in small steps,' he muses, as rough waves rise and resolve on Zannier's soft sandy beach, the same pale ochre colour of his grandmother's hot bread. There isn't a thing about the Vietnamese resort that doesn't emerge from his world, that doesn't reflect his passion. 'Small things, but you have to be consistent,' he smiles. 'So if we want to bring something positive into the lives of our guests, we have to introduce small steps that they can understand and learn from us while they're here, to carry on when they're back home. 'That's the philosophy of Zannier wellness.'

Legacy 50: 6 museums to visit this April 30
Vietnam Military History Museum Km 6+500 Thang Long Avenue, Nam Tu Liem, Hanoi Open since the late autumn of 2024, the new Vietnam Military History Museum is a striking, contemporary project that manages to retain its profound historical resonance. It is a place where the nation's wartime past is preserved through objects, light and architectural space. Situated on Thang Long Avenue, the museum becomes an especially moving destination during the April 30 holiday. More than 150,000 artifacts are housed within—from the legendary MiG-21 fighter jet to the Ho Chi Minh Campaign Determination map—each one offering a vivid glimpse into the nation's defining moments, while also capturing the quiet resilience of life during conflict. A key feature of the museum is its chronological exhibition design, blending directional sound with state-of-the-art interactive installations. The experience draws visitors in, encouraging a quiet, deeply personal engagement with history. In a Hanoi that evolves by the day, this museum stands as a firm spiritual anchor, inviting visitors to reconnect with their heritage and reflect on the enduring cost of independence. Whether you're discovering it for the first time or returning after many April seasons, a morning spent here, bathed in natural light and surrounded by artefacts once carried through war, will leave you contemplative and quietly moved. Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts 97A Pho Duc Chinh, District 1, HCMC A journey that doesn't require leaving the city, yet manages to open the heart. Tucked away within an old French villa in the centre of District 1, the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts is an essential stop for those with an eye for beauty. The creaking wooden staircase, sun-dappled tiled floors and coloured glass windows evoke memories of a bygone Saigon—elegant, expressive and full of artistic grace. Above The Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts is an essential stop for those with an eye for beauty (Photo: Ho Chi Minh City Museum of Fine Arts) The galleries here guide visitors across the many eras of Vietnamese art—from the days of Indochinese influences to contemporary expressions, from traditional lacquer work to modern installations and video pieces. The paintings hold traces of history, infused with a quiet national pride. They're never overbearing—simple in form, yet stirring in spirit, with a gentle ability to move the viewer. Above Welcome to Vietnam's total victory (Composed: 1975. Author: Tong Ngoc Phong. Material: Lacquer) The museum welcomes visitors this April 30. To walk its halls on a holiday such as this is to find beauty not only in colours and brushwork, but in the cultural weight and memory that art so often carries. Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History 2 Nguyen Binh Khiem, District 1, HCMC Tucked beside the city's Zoo in a calm, tree-lined enclave, the Ho Chi Minh City Museum of History offers a quiet retreat—a stillness in the midst of a bustling metropolis. The building itself is a graceful fusion of East and West: curved tiled roofs, wooden pillars, and traditional motifs lend it the charm of a storybook world gently waiting to be explored. Above From stone statues and regal crowns to time-worn woodblocks and delicate ceramics, the museum becomes a gentle stream of memory (Photo: Vietnam National Administration of Tourism) Inside, Vietnam's history unfolds through understated and poignant artefacts—from the ancient Van Lang and Au Lac periods to the later feudal dynasties. From stone statues and regal crowns to time-worn woodblocks and delicate ceramics, the museum becomes a gentle stream of memory, carrying its visitors through layers of time with quiet reverence. To pause here on April 30 is to reflect on the nation's long road—not through loud declarations, but through what has been preserved: fragments of once-great cultures and the imprints of their evolution. A morning meandering through cicada song and soft sunlight, among these artefacts, has a way of stilling the heart; a stillness born of remembrance, of heritage, and of a country that has weathered many storms to reach this moment. Vietnam Fine Arts Museum 66 Nguyen Thai Hoc, Ba Dinh, Hanoi In Hanoi, few places carry the same artistic gravitas as the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum. Home to some of the nation's most treasured works, its stately French colonial façade blends seamlessly with the deep red tiles and bricks, giving it a presence that is both timeworn and unmistakably Vietnamese. On April 30, the museum's resistance art galleries—portraying the strength of soldiers, the majesty of mountains, and the familiar tones of a not-so-distant past—take on a heightened resonance. Through these works, the national spirit reveals itself not through grandeur, but in quiet resilience, and in the human warmth that so often defines our shared stories. Above As one lingers before each canvas, the act of viewing becomes something more. Photo: Vietnam Museum of Fine Arts As one lingers before each canvas, the act of viewing becomes something more—a quiet dialogue with history, conveyed in the hushed, expressive language of painting. Above The underground struggle (Author: Huynh Phuong Dong. Medium: Watercolor, charcoal, pen and ink.) Spend a little longer here, and you'll notice the museum is not only speaking of the past. Woven between historical epochs is the subtle unfolding of Vietnam's modern artistic voice. Emerging talents continue this narrative, seeking their own place in a shifting world. Some works are rooted in folk traditions, others in bold abstraction—together, they speak of an evolving identity, where personal vision meets collective soul in a delicate yet resonant harmony. Ton Duc Thang Museum 5 Ton Duc Thang, Ben Nghe, District 1, HCMC In central District 1, the Ton Duc Thang Museum offers a quiet, poignant retreat—a space that traces the life of a steadfast, humble figure whose loyalty and depth left a lasting mark. The building itself, with its modern and understated design, allows the artefacts within to tell their story without distraction. Above Here, ideals and integrity speak softly—needing no embellishment, only their sincerity to resonate (Photo: Ton Duc Thang Museum) During the April 30 holiday, the museum's rooms dedicated to the resistance war take on a solemn tone, reflecting the spirit of solidarity and complete commitment that defined President Ton Duc Thang. Black-and-white photographs, an indigo worker's shirt, a simple wooden chair—these modest objects bring history to life not through grandeur, but through quiet conviction, mirroring the man himself. As visitors follow this path of memory, it feels as if time folds back. Here, ideals and integrity speak softly—needing no embellishment, only their sincerity to resonate.

Its lofty ceilings, grand wooden doors, arched corridors and light-drenched windows create an atmosphere of both elegance and quiet reflection. It feels less like a museum and more like a pause in the city's own timeline—capturing Saigon's transition from its colonial past to the dynamic city it is today. Above Set within an historic French colonial building, the Ho Chi Minh City Museum is a space that exudes time. Photo: Ho Chi Minh City Museum Around April 30, the museum's thematic exhibitions come into sharper focus. Displays on resistance movements, urban life in decades past, and the city during its liberation feel more intimate, more immediate. Alongside iconic visuals like vintage Lam cars or old street signs, one finds handwritten letters, worn maps, and objects soaked in memory. To wander through these galleries is to feel Saigon's layered soul. More than just observing its evolution, visitors begin to sense the undercurrent of remembrance—woven into every floorboard, every pane of glass, every fragment of history held within.
