Konfekt's new issue will provide you with nourishing reads that will inspire projects and ideas to pursue over the coming months.

Our wellness special will lead you from Budapest's grand bathhouses to spas in the Balearics and a Côte d'Azur retreat where you'll feel replenished and energised. Whether heading up the Andean peaks with an indomitable team of Bolivian climbers or touching down in a wooden home in Panama, this issue has plenty of room for outdoor pursuits and home comforts, including Korean dumplings and Austrian fleece-lined clogs for when the evenings draw in. Plus: sharp blazers, sumptuous coats and crisp shirting to prepare you for the new season.
