Timeless Edition | Aug ’26

This August, our Timeless Issue celebrates the people, places, and creations that continue to inspire across generations.

Inside, we explore the engagement ring trends redefining modern heirlooms, the latest watches with the potential to become tomorrow’s most sought-after collectables, and the beauty products that have earned permanent places in bathroom cabinets and make-up bags around the world.

This edition also shines a spotlight on remarkable people shaping culture and creativity. We celebrate 20 years of the Cartier Women’s Initiative, one of the world’s leading programmes supporting women impact entrepreneurs; meet South African sommelier Sean Kubheka as he reflects on his journey from KwaZulu-Natal to the Burj Al Arab; and feature our cover star, Mamela Nyamza, following her historic Silver Lion Award at the Venice Biennale.

Closer to home, we explore Johannesburg’s growing love affair with analogue culture, escape to the newly revamped Manor House at Samara Karoo and Olijvenkraal Winelands Lodge in the Western Cape, discover Namibia’s hidden wilderness at Nkasa Linyanti, and spend time with Fallow’s Chef in Residence, Nokx Majozi, as she celebrates her debut book, The South African Cookbook.

To mark our Timeless Issue, we’re giving readers the chance to win a collection of luxury coffee table books from Jonathan Ball Publishers, along with a beautifully crafted Zodwa Blanket from The Ninevites and Akakir Studio.
