3. The Art of Backgammon by Christian Dior
One of our favorite moments during the holidays is a quiet or spirited game of backgammon by the fire. So cozy and relaxing, we are swept up in the simplicity of the present moment and slow-paced entertainment at home.
The art of the game reimagined by Maison Dior beholds our attention with the signature embroidered Toile de Jouy motif and in pink with the Dior Oblique print. Offering two different sizes, Dior has allured us back to beautiful moments to share in the art of playful leisure.

It’s all about the journey. Give an extraordinary moment to remember on board Belmond’s exclusive Venice Simplon Orient Express from Venice to Paris. Two of the most romantic cities and an unforgettable journey in Golden Age opulence in Belmond’s beautifully restored iconic trains.
Dramatic mountain sceneries while you enjoy a sumptuous 3-course lunch, a French goûter served to your room before the evening begins, aperitifs in the Bar Car ‘3674’ before chef Jean Imbert’s four-course hote de table gourmet dinner or after, sommelier-selected wines, enjoying live piano on the baby grand in the bar after dinner, and a French breakfast the following morning. And if you are still celebrating the stylish night away, a midnight buffet for a little nibble before bed. A glamorous journey in timeless elegance as you watch the world go by. Epic.
