While Louvre Abu Dhabi regularly has one incredible curation after another, this was one of our personal favourites this year. Cartier, Islamic Inspiration and Modern Design was co-curated by Évelyne Possémé, former chief curator of Ancient and Modern Jewellery at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris; and Judith Henon-Raynaud, Chief Curator and Deputy Director of the Department of Islamic Art at the Musée du Louvre, Paris. It was available to the public in February and March this year, and let visitors discover the influence of Islamic art on Cartier’s designs and creations, while featuring over 400 works including jewellery and precious objects, masterpieces of Islamic art, drawings, textiles and photographs, showcasing the influences of the Islamic arts on Cartier’s designs, from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day.
Lettre à Coco at La Petite Maison Abu Dhabi
La Petite Maison’s cocktail list includes a very classy Dhs76 creation, the Lettre à Coco, that’s proven a hit with patrons – and with good reason. The beverage “testifies to Jean Cocteau and Coco Chanel’s unique relationship and letter correspondence, a tribute and testimony to their wonderful friendship.” It includes jasmine, bergamot and rose and is supremely refreshing, and is set on the bar with an envelope that’s been spritzed in Chanel. Need we say more?
Tiffany & Co. at Four Seasons Abu Dhabi
This holiday season, you can savour a luxurious afternoon tea experience at Four Seasons Abu Dhabi and enjoy their dazzling festive tree alongside an illuminated display of Tiffany & Co.’s most loved collections. Head to Al Meylas Lounge, inspired by the timeless elegance of both brands. The best bit? It’s still available for you to enjoy, until January 10, 2025.

Super-luxury giants Hermès brought their ever-popular, ‘grammable Le Monde d’Hermès kiosk to one of Abu Dhabi’s premier lifestyle destinations, The Galleria Al Maryah Island, back in February. Over a weekend, the brand, known best for their Birkin and Kelly bags, brought their traveling, sustainable and incredibly cool pop-up to the mall’s waterfront promenade, bringing a splash of orange to Al Maryah Island and handing out copies of the collector’s edition magazine at their pop-up inspired by Parisian news stands.
