Each month, we bring you a curated selection of the latest essentials from the Cathay Shop . For March, we’re embracing fresh starts with spring cleaning products and floral home decor that will renew your living space. We’re also getting kitted out for one of our city’s biggest sporting events – the Hong Kong Sevens – right in time for kick-off on the weekend of 28-30 March.
Read on for everything our editors are loving lately.
Spectators at the Hong Kong Rugby Sevens are known for pulling out all the stops when it comes to attire, so if you’re planning to be in the stands later this month, you’ll want to dress the part. Our exclusive Hong Kong Sevens polo shirt returns once more in our signature jade green, emblazoned with the Cathay Pacific logo and saffron red stripes. It’s also available in children’s sizes, so you can match with the mini sports fan in your family. Plus, its geometric pattern and gradient design echo the iconic façade of the Kai Tak Sports Park Main Stadium, the new home of the sporting event. Talk about a conversation starter.
One thing we don’t love about spring? The rain. Thankfully, this dreamy floral umbrella from Nifty Color will add brightness to those grey showery days, while its compact size makes it easy to carry around in case of a sudden downpour. It can also shield you from up to 99.99 per cent of visible light and ultraviolet light – a must-pack essential whatever the weather.
Before your next gathering, you’ll want to get your hands on this set of flower-shaped stoneware dishes from coveted kitchenware brand Le Creuset. An adorable springtime centrepiece for your table, they’re ideal for serving up small nibbles and dainty desserts. Additionally, they’re incredibly sturdy, so go ahead and stick them in the dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer or microwave; they’re even suitable for use in the oven up to 260°C – covering all your cooking needs.
If you want to bring the scent of spring indoors, add this ginger lily candle to your coffee table or dresser; its clean, blossomy fragrance will instantly freshen your home. What’s more, it looks just as lovely as it smells, with a teal, floral-patterned container of fine bone china. It’s handmade in Hong Kong using soy wax and 100 per cent pure cotton wicks, making it a great way to give a piece of home to your friends, family or even yourself.
If the spring sunlight streaming through your windows is revealing a layer of dust on your floor, don't fret. This high-tech AI robot vacuum comes with a plethora of functions, including several carpet modes, to give your home the deep clean it needs. The X50 Ultra can get into small nooks, detect when there’s a high quantity of dirt and automatically double up on washing, and avoid more than 200 types of obstacles, including pets. Its maximum cleaning time of 260 minutes also means it won’t run out of juice mid-clean.
As the weather warms up, you may be starting to bring your spring clothes out of hiding. However, before they enter your regular rotation, it’s a good idea to give your garments a thorough wash to remove any dust or odour – and using a disinfecting clothes dryer afterwards will ensure they’re extra sparkling. This model from Morrus Zero uses UVC ultraviolet light sterilisation to eliminate up to 99.9 per cent of viruses, while its patented technology shortens drying time to just 15 minutes, allowing you to step out in your favourite spring outfit in no time.
This laundry organiser makes washing clothes easy-peasy and – dare we say it – even fun. It features two 30-litre compartments to help keep your lights and darks separated, as well as removable tote bags with handles on the base to make emptying them easier. Its chic, designer look means you can keep it right where you need it rather than hiding it away, ensuring your clothes end up where they’re meant to instead of on your bathroom floor.
Bring the outside in this spring with a mini cleaning set from Bondi Wash. This eco-friendly Australian brand formulates its products using natural ingredients and scents, making them safe for your home and family while effectively killing germs. The trio set includes a bench spray suitable for various surfaces; a floor wash that can be used on all floor types, including timber; and a gentle anti-bacterial hand wash enriched with natural moisturisers like aloe vera, vitamin E and sunflower oil.
