Business
A special Italian briefing, taking in paper manufacturing, plane building and cosmetics.
Inventory No. 70
This month we bring you an embroidered badge set, a colour-coordinated range of sake, an astronomical children’s book and a hand-cranked coffee grinder that will please the purists.
Media/art market
A magazine shop in a shipping container, an online platform for new brands, bringing Hong Kong's galleries together plus the latest from the art-sales world.
Way ahead
Starting a new business is about ideas, inspiration and location. We visit a Lisbon neighbourhood pushing small enterprise, the corner of Istanbul that’s ripe for retail and a Mexican tech hub.
Lisbon – Road to Retail
As well as bringing bright ideas to once-faded façades, Lisbon’s mix of self-starting shopkeepers and keen entrepreneurs has helped lift the mood of a city with plenty more to be optimistic about.
Head for the hills
From fashion and homewares to food and gifts, the white city offers a full complement of attractions for the committed consumer and gourmet alike.
Inventory No. 68
What's on our wish list this month, including a sturdy briefcase and a warming toddy.
Go with the ice flow
A trip to the chilly climes of the north once promised frostbite and peril. Now you can land at a refurbished airport, check into a boutique hotel and sightsee in a hot-air balloon.
Inventory No. 67
This month’s treats include some gin for your drinks cabinet, stationery for your home-office and wooden animals for the fun of it.
