Shopping and travel famously go hand-in-hand, as jet-setters travel the world in search of stunning settings—and equally exciting keepsakes to commemorate the experience. Further cementing this symbiotic relationship are the summer pop-ups debuting at some of the most glamorous getaways around the globe.
Poolside loungers, spas, and on-site boutiques are being fabulously reinvented to debut a destination-appropriate couture collection. Luxury-minded visitors can, this summer, find themselves immersed in the aesthetics of Dior, Gucci, or Louis Vuitton, all while still taking in the picturesque landscapes of Los Angeles and Aspen, bucolic fields of East Hampton, or shimmering beaches of Saint-Tropez.
So grab your passport and best shopping buddy—these stellar sites with a fun and festive fashion experience await.

Famed Caribbean hideaway The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons resort in the Bahamas, has been discovered by fashion brand Jacquemus. Designer Simon Porte, a 2019 Galerie Creative Mind, has reimagined the retreat’s Versailles and Ocean pools, reworking the loungers, accent pillows, sunshades, and pool toys in a hand-painted stripe pattern, rendered in eye-catching combinations of black, yellow, blue, or red against stark white. For the ultimate souvenir, guests should secure one of the exclusive black-and-white pool towels, available only at the property.

Louis Vuitton takes over the restaurant at the legendary Saint-Tropez hotel White 1921, where chef Arnaud Donckele and chef pâtissier Maxime Frédéric transform local ingredients into mouthwatering dishes such as wild prawn with a verveine-scented sorbet or a raspberry pavlova and vacherin ice-cream cake. Meals are served on the brand’s Art de la Table collection, while other motifs culled from the maison decorate a serene garden setting perfect for enjoying drinks while perched on one of the chairs embellished with the Monogram of the LV by the Pool collection. Nearby, the womenswear shop is stocked with pieces from the latest resort collection, including the limited-edition Saint-Tropez ONTHEGO MM Raffia, a gorgeous tote perfect for carrying around town, then on to your next adventure.

Dior is bringing its interpretation of summer chic to glamorous hotels across the country. At the start of the season, the brand introduced its Dioriviera pop-up at the Beverly Hills Hotel, a Dorchester Collection property. Now, the experience has debuted at another location: famed Aspen hot spot The Little Nell, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this season. Dior’s first Alpine location includes a takeover of the on-site spa, large-scale floral installations, and a transformation of the pool area, which will be dressed in the Toile de Jouy Soleil print. A similar ambience envelops the Sunset Boulevard outpost, where a boutique designed with raffia wall covering and bamboo furniture gives a resort atmosphere to the presentation of fashion and home goods from the Dioriviera collection. The experiences are open through September 2.
