Love takes many forms. There is instant chemistry, and then there is slow-burn romance. Here are a few products and experiences that linger in our thoughts…
Indian Mango Festival, Sydney
On July 1, 2026, the Consul General of India in Sydney, Dr. S. Janakiraman, presented the Indian mango in Australia for the very first time — a major feat given the strict bio-security laws. The much-anticipated Indian Mango Festival presented several premium varieties, each representative of their terroir, climate and unique growing conditions. We loved this fittingly delicious ode to the fruit, and to India's thriving mango industry. We hope this is only the beginning. And that luxury consumers will be able to approach mangoes quite like they approach fine wine — each one varied, distinct and worth picking.
'Avatar: Forms of Vishnu'
The Art Gallery of New South Wales is now hosting an exhibition that brings together nearly 200 artworks, tracing how the stories of Vishnu have travelled, transformed and endured across centuries. Curated from collections across India, Australia, Switzerland, Cambodia and the United Kingdom, this exhibition features photographs, sculptures, paintings and other art forms through which artists have envisioned the various forms that Vishnu has taken while descending upon earth.
The exhibition will go on until October 5, 2026. Tickets are available on the website of the Art Gallery of New South Wales.
Jalsa by Titan Nebula
Jalsa by Titan Nebula is a stunning celebration of Indian craftsmanship, captured in Jaipur's iconic Hawa Mahal (The Palace of Winds). It celebrates 225 years of the monument, by capturing it in miniature art on each dial.
Every single miniature is hand painted by Padma Shri S. Shakir Ali, meaning no two are exactly alike. But that is not all. The dial is sculpted in 18k rose gold and then wrapped in a ring of natural red agate — a subtle nod to the red sandstone architecture that Rajasthan is famous for.
Through the sapphire case back, one can see Titan's in-house 7TH2 flying tourbillon, put together with 144 hand-finished components.
With only 10 pieces in the whole world, Jalsa epitomises luxury at its finest. It is timeless, exclusive and, therefore, irreplaceable.
'Cartier: Melbourne Winter Masterpieces'
Iconic jewels, precious gemstones, historic watches and more than 300 such extraordinary objects by Cartier are now being showcased at the National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) as part of the Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition.
This is a chance to see some of Cartier's landmark creations and follow the brand's evolution from the early 20th century to more contemporary designs. It features never-before-seen sketches from the Cartier archives, offering an exclusive glimpse into their fine craftsmanship, which is much coveted all over the world.
The exhibition is open daily until October 4, 2026. Tickets can be purchased from the official National Gallery of Victoria website or via Headout.
