This is Window Shopping, a weekly briefing from Window Seat. Every issue covers essential news in luxury travel, spotlights one exceptional hotel, and shares personal updates or recent product discoveries.
When it comes to travel collabs, we are being fed right now. Delta has been pulling out all the stops for its yearlong centennial celebration, and its latest move is an Air Force 1 sneaker drop with Nike. (Good thing you don’t have to remove your shoes at the airport anymore.) Meanwhile, Gap and BÉIS teamed up on a collection of apparel and luggage in a lightwash denim hue—clever. I like that the clothing is functional and designed with frequent flyers in mind: cargo pants that zip off into shorts, a denim jacket with a passport pocket, and apparently a hoodie that has a built-in inflatable neck pillow? Would love to get my hands on these and try them for myself. And in the Caribbean, Palm Heights is back with a new collab, this time with designer Emilia Wickstead. This is exactly right for the property: a low-key vibe that only those in the know would associate with it.
Everyone knows how much I love my Away tote because I haven’t shut up about it for three years, which makes what I’m about to say all the more impressive: I was recently gifted Loeffler Randall’s Dina Travel Tote and… I’m gonna start taking it with me on trips. It’s a really impressive comp for the tote I already have and love! The biggest difference is that this one comes in a lot of cute colors and patterns, so if you’re in the market for a travel tote, look no further. Plus, for today only the brand is offering complimentary embroidery at their West Village and Charleston stores with every purchase of a Dina Tote.
Hotel Villa Honegg — Ennetbürgen, Switzerland
When I think about what my dream hotel view looks like, this one checks every box: high in the mountains with a view of water and rolling hillsides—nothing but nature in sight. Perched high above Lake Lucerne in the Swiss Alps, Villa Honegg is a century-old mountain retreat that feels both timeless and utterly contemporary. Originally opened in 1905, it’s been beautifully restored, blending classic alpine charm with clean-lined, contemporary design. With just 23 rooms and a front-row seat to the most breathtaking vistas imaginable, it might be the most serene stay in Switzerland.
