Cartier Reintroduces the Grain de Café Collection
Who: Cartier
What: Grain de Café collection
Where: Online at cartier.com and in Cartier boutiques worldwide
Why: Cartier’s rich history is synonymous with craftsmanship, glamour, and Hollywood. For those unfamiliar, the house’s original Grain de Café collection—featuring whimsical, bean-shaped pendants—debuted almost a century ago under creative director Jeanne Toussaint, and became well-known when Grace Kelly wore a set for her wedding that turned her into a princess. Now, with modern techniques and a freshness that only time can bring, the latest iteration riffs on the lightness and movement of coffee beans, either strung on gold chain necklaces or blooming on woven rings, and seen most recently on house ambassador Elle Fanning at the Met.

Willie Norris and Away Create Luggage for the LGBTQ+ Community
Who: Willie Norris and Away
What: Luggage collaboration in celebration of Pride Month
Where: On display at the Away store in Williamsburg, 111 N. 3rd Street, Brooklyn, NY
Why: Willie Norris knows better than most that exclusivity and if-you-know-you-know moments give the queer community a sense of joy and comradery—something they have that no one else does. Her collaboration with Away does just that: the creative has emblazoned the brand’s signature rolling luggage with a trio of slogans winking at the schlep many like her are all too familiar with. The best part? The luggage isn’t for sale, but rather has been gifted to Norris’ nearest and dearest to tote their wares around the country as they celebrate Pride Month. Here’s to less subtlety and taking that extra space at the airport.
