You'll no doubt have already seen this coffee shop doing the rounds on Instagram this week: Mecca, Sydney’s latest hotspot that’s quietly on Foley Lane in Darlinghurst. Matt Woods – the guy behind The Caterpillar Club and Grandfather's – did the fit-out, and it’s given the space an almost cave-like quality, with warm lighting and textured walls that are designed to match the building’s history. The coffee’s pretty bloody good too.
This'll do... I don't ask for much. Just a beautifully restored Scottish coastal mansion with 13 bedrooms, sweeping views over the Inner Hebrides and direct access to a secluded beach. £2.1 million seems reasonable to me!

B.H. Magazine in the wild.. I’ve had a heap of family and friends share photos of B.H. Magazine Volume 7 in the wild lately – particularly the Qantas and Emirates First and Business Class lounges.Have you got a public-facing space, small business, or showroom where you’d like to display B.H. Magazine? Send me an email, and we’ll flick some out to you.john@luxity.com.au
Silo S3 is still going strong. I’m 2 eps in to what was my favourite TV show last year– not sure if I’m enjoying the initial plot twist but keen to see how it progresses. Definitely recommend if you’re a fan of Westworld, Severance, Snowpiercer, or if you enjoy self-contained sci-fi thriller-mystery rebecca-ferguson goodness.
I've just been reminded of the genuinely jaw-dropping returns that the Spider-Man IP has made for Sony. You'll remember the original deal: Sony famously rejected the chance to pick up Marvel's once-forgotten heroes (Thor, Hulk, Iron Man), offered for a combined US$25 million, and paid roughly US$7 million for Spider-Man alone. At the time, it looked like the safe pick. In hindsight, it's one of the great trades in Hollywood history. Marvel kept the shared universe worth tens of billions, but Sony got the one character who could deliver three different eras, survive a Marvel custody battle, and still open bigger than almost anything else in the business. I’m reminded of this because Brand New Day has just hit US$927 million globally in a single weekend – that's on top of a franchise total already sitting north of $9 billion. I doubt anyone is thinking about that original US$7 million anymore.
Amouage just released their most exclusive perfume yet – “Elsewhere” is limited to 100 points of sale around the world – you can find it at Libertine in Aus. Originally made as a commission from Oman’s Royal Opera House under the name “Sinbad”, it’s a honeyed meld of spices like cardamom and pink pepper, tropical fruits, black tea, and vanilla. Exclusivity comes at a price – $799 to be exact. Maybe one to grab a sample first?
