• Craft, Courts & Coastal Calm: Shop Drops Weeks 23–26

  Join Tim Nash on The Shop Dropcast for a bumper episode exploring 20 of the most captivating, immersive, and emotionally intelligent brand activations from Weeks 23 to 26 of Shop Drop Daily.From Prada’s suspended boats inside Liberty London to Loewe’s tomato-vine-scented maze at Selfridges, this episode dives into the new emotional language of retail, where product meets poetry and presence becomes performance.Tim travels through Armani’s sea-breeze takeover of the Cannes Croisette, Dior’s sun-drenched cabana escape in Bodrum, and Swarovski’s crystal-soaked terrace in Portofino, where lifestyle and luxury become one. In Mykonos and Chengdu, Jacquemus and Chloé show that retail can be quiet, contemplative, and deeply cultural.We head to Tokyo for Rimowa’s bronze-drenched design ritual, to Seoul for Diptyque’s fairytale-meets-industrial boutique, and to Shanghai where Louis Vuitton’s ship-shaped mega-flagship and Levi’s storytelling space reshape what legacy can look like.Expect editorial kiosks, branded books, crystal cocktails, flower shops, clay courts, and even LV-monogrammed dumplings. From Kith and Wilson’s Wimbledon fantasy to Ralph Lauren’s centre-court tribute on Bond Street, each drop reveals something bigger:That physical retail in 2025 is less about product and more about emotion, rhythm, and resonance.Tim reflects on the shifts behind the scenes, the slowing down of storytelling, the rising value of tactility, and the increasing demand for spaces that invite us to feel something real.If you want to see these activations in full, plus hundreds more, head over to shopdropdaily.com.
