A New Vietnamese Retreat Where Every Villa Comes With a PoolImageNamia River Retreat in Hoi An, Vietnam, comprises 60 pool villas featuring design elements inspired by the nipa palm forest and the river just outside.Credit...Courtesy of Namia River Retreat

By Devorah Lev-Tov

Namia River Retreat opened last month on the banks of the Thu Bon River in Hoi An, a coastal city in central Vietnam. The tranquil setting — all 60 villas stand between the water and a palm forest — inspires the resort’s wellness program. Activities include yoga, meditation and duong sinh (an Indigenous form of tai chi) sessions and swimming in the saltwater pool; there’s also access to riverside saunas, bamboo bicycles to explore Hoi An and sunset river cruises. An indoor-outdoor spa specializes in traditional Vietnamese medicine using herbs grown on the property and in nearby gardens. The villas themselves are more indulgent than you might expect at a wellness resort. Each comes with a private pool, a sunken bathtub and an outdoor shower, while the décor is replete with local touches, from the ash-wood furniture made in nearby Da Nang to the artisan-carved wooden wall hangings and photographs depicting Vietnamese life. And for food, you can choose between two restaurants: the Fisherman, a seafood spot, and the Merchant, where the playful menu offers cocktails inspired by street food (the Hoi An Chicken Rice Com Ga features a local rum infused with rice and chicken broth) and equally nontraditional dishes like cao lau carbonara, whose sauce is made with duck egg.

Chocolate Boxes With Collectible CardsImageDebauve & Gallais, the 225-year-old Parisian chocolatier, has revived the 19th-century tradition of Chromos pictorial cards.

The Parisian chocolate company Debauve & Gallais was founded 225 years ago by Sulpice Debauve, a pharmacist to Louis XVI and Marie-Antoinette who later became the official chocolate supplier to the kings of France. He introduced the confection as a health remedy to the royal court and, according to the brand, invented the era’s first chocolate one could bite into instead of drink. Those chocolats à croquer — flat medallions shaped like old coins — became a signature that remains a Debauve & Gallais best seller today under the name Pistoles de Marie-Antoinette. Along with chocolate bars, truffles, Croquamandes (chocolate-covered almonds created for Napoleon Bonaparte in 1807) and other confections whose recipes have seldom changed, the Pistoles are still displayed like jewels behind the shop’s original semicircle apothecary counter. But when Domitille Jollois joined the company as its president in 2022, she unearthed a cellar full of old packaging, drawings and recipes that inspired an update to the institution. The packaging got a light refresh,66jogo while the U.S.-based illustrator Ilya Milstein worked on reviving a long-forgotten Parisian tradition: chromos. A form of advertising in the mid-19th century, these small pictorial cards depicting scenes from daily life or fables were created by the era’s leading illustrators and printed using chromolithography; they were popularized by Le Bon Marché’s founder, Aristide Boucicaut, and released weekly for decades. Debauve & Gallais would hide their own illustrated cards in chocolate boxes that children could collect and trade. Beginning this month, customers can find five new chromos inside all chocolate boxes featuring the likenesses of Marie-Antoinette, Louis XVI, Napoleon, Marcel Proust and Sonia Rykiel. “We wanted [an artist] who would capture the childlike spirit of the tradition and highlight our most illustrious clients,” says Jollois of Milstein. “It’s chocolate that connects them all.” From about $28, debauve-et-gallais.com.

A Luxurious Leather Duffel Bag Made in Providence, R.I.ImageLindquist’s Rhodes duffels (shown here in indigo and black) are handmade from milled vegetable-tanned leather in Providence, R.I.Credit...John Hesselbarth & Kate Foster

In 2020, the designer Lindy McDonough launched Lindquist, a leather goods brand that hand makes bags, wallets, belts and more at its headquarters in Providence, R.I. “[We’re] a local company that’s thinking about sustainability and isn’t necessarily prioritizing exponential growth over everything,” McDonough says. Lindquist’s milled vegetable-tanned leathers come from a century-old, family-owned Brazilian tannery that transports their wares in salt rather than in a solution containing heavy metals. In an effort to minimize waste, the brand reworks its leftover leather pieces, repurposing them as components of larger items or accessories. Its newest design, the Rhodes duffel, is made from a single piece of leather and embellished with solid brass hardware made in Switzerland. The handles, shoulder strap and piping are all crafted from the same leather — “no fillers, no canvas, no cardboard,” McDonough says — and the waxed linen thread that holds it together comes from one of France’s oldest thread manufacturers. And for travelers whose luggage never seems to make it to the end of an excursion without incurring some kind of damage, Lindquist’s customer service continues after the purchase is completed. “Just send it back to us,” McDonough says. “We’ll take care of it.” From $2,400, lindquist-object.com.
