Malaysia, A Strategic Hub For Luxury In 2026

By Aymeric Mantoux01 décembre 2025

Between private clubs in Kuala Lumpur, duty-free islands, and a local elite that continues to grow richer, Malaysia is charting its own course, discreetly and exactingly. Dior chose to hold the second chapter of its Diorexquis high jewelry presentation there this fall.

In less than thirty years, Victoire de Castellane has elevated Dior to the pinnacle of fine jewelry (Dior)

Under the golden sun of Malaysia, the Andaman Sea shimmers like an ancient jewel. The islands of Langkawi, topped with jungle and surrounded by white sand, serve as the setting for the new chapter of Diorexquis, Dior's high jewellery collection designed by Victoire de Castellane.

For the occasion, the House invited 130 hand-picked guests – its most loyal enthusiasts, collectors and a few newcomers – to discover this second opus in the sumptuous setting of the Four Seasons Langkawi. It takes almost royal customer service to sell the 55 pieces of fine jewellery, some of which are worth several million euros. Guests from the Malaysian capital, France, Japan and the United States discovered a collection that confirms the peak of a house that is now a key player in the world of fine jewellery. In less than thirty years, Victoire de Castellane has elevated Dior to the pinnacle of an art form that was thought to be reserved for the centuries-old jewellers of Place Vendôme.

The stones seem to breathe, the frames to dance. Not to mention the special orders that are discussed away from prying eyes in seaside villas, reserved for the clients who requested them.

Georgia Believes in Its Wine Heritage and Dreams of a Peaceful Future

Driven by a dynamic economy and booming tourism, Georgia is more than a nation troubled by persistent political conflicts. In the southeast, the Kakheti region — which produces about 75% of the country’s wines — is now attracting an upscale clientele in search of a unique oenological experience. A market that could soon appeal to the luxury industry.
