THOMAS SABO: Neverending Ear Party

The THOMAS SABO Charming Collection celebrates one of the biggest accessory trends: THE EAR PARTY.

Even if we have to wait a little longer until the next real party, there is a lot to celebrate for our ears this season. The new THOMAS SABO Charming Collection offers an impressive variety of filigree and high-quality earrings. True to the motto "Mix & Match", the decorated ear trend can be fully lived thanks to the almost limitless combination options. Delicate hoop earrings and ear studs, which can be combined with one or two of the many ear charms, serve as the basis of the ear party look. Another highlight are the finely crafted ear cuffs, which enable individual ear decorations in the trendy piercing style, without any ear holes. Whether it is earrings in the cosmos trend, classic hoop earrings or stud earrings set with colorful stones: the designs are as diverse as the wearer herself. If they are put together individually, a confident look is created that stylishly underlines the personality of young girls and women.

Big Bang Camo Yohji Yamamoto

 For 48 years, Yohji Yamamoto has stood for a timeless style that defies established ideas. While Yohji Yamamoto set the tone for the Big Bang GMT All Black, monochrome black set the tone for the new Big Bang Camo Yohji Yamamoto, the iconic textiles of the fashion designer and his bold use of patterns.

Tagged as anti-fashion, Yohji Yamamoto's creations are designed to raise questions, and all his collections contain this message. A master of contradiction and antagonism, Yohji Yamamoto sees the camouflage motif as the epitome of paradox, present and future clashing strikingly or blending seamlessly. As well as the initial message delivered by the camouflage print, he is reclaiming the values ​​behind the clothes. The values ​​of a rebellious spirit, a strong will, and cutting-edge individuality.

“The Big Bang, which Yamamoto designed together with Hublot, takes up our common codes and implements his camouflage motif in a very original way. The contours are superimposed on the sapphire dial and vulcanized on the bracelet - a technology that Hublot first introduced to the watch industry in 2019. » Ricardo Guadalupe, CEO Hublot

The Big Bang Camo Yohji Yamamoto appears in a limited edition of 200 copies. Its 45 mm case is made of matt black ceramic, and the sapphire dial has contours that overlap and form biomorphic speckled patterns, based on the designer's camouflage pattern, whose signature can be seen at 6 o'clock. In the Big Bang Camo Yohji Yamamoto, the manufacture caliber Unico beats with a power reserve of 72 hours.

Starbucks announce partnership with Too Good To Go: Save coffee and snacks from waste

 Starbucks is now cooperating across Switzerland with Too Good To Go, the movement against food waste. With their practical app, users can now save food as self-collectors in all participating Starbucks stores.

Responsible use of food is a high priority at Starbucks. The company is therefore now expanding its partnership with Too Good To Go also in  Switzerland. With the Too Good To Go app, Starbucks fans can save food from being wasted in a total of 49 locations, including 40 coffee houses in German-speaking Switzerland and nine in French-speaking Switzerland. With the app, food that is left over at the end of the day can easily be reserved as a surprise parcel in two options:

Option 1 (food): fine pastries, delicious sandwiches and snacks

Option 2 (Food & Coffee): in addition to pastries, sandwiches and snacks, this option contains coffee beans, coffee capsules or instant coffee. The content of the order can vary - depending on what can no longer be sold regularly that day. The products cost around a third of the original price.

Alina Swirski, Country Manager of Too Good To Go Switzerland 

Together against food waste

After successful cooperation in six countries, Starbucks is pleased to be building on the previous initiatives to prevent food waste in Switzerland: 

“The Starbucks store managers handle their online product orders with great care and with precisely allocated product quantities for each coffee house in order to avoid waste. Any remaining fresh products that would otherwise have to be disposed of can now be easily saved from waste using Too Good To Go. " - says Bernardin Malou, General Manager Starbucks Switzerland and Austria.

Too Good To Go is also enthusiastic about the partnership: 

“We are delighted that Starbucks has joined our growing network of over 2,900 partner companies in Switzerland. Food waste has an enormous impact on the environment. Every coffee or snack saved helps to counteract this, » says Alina Swirski, Country Manager of Too Good To Go Switzerland.
