The Rise and Rise of Saint Bella: Founder Danny Xiang’s Vision for Global Postpartum Care Expands as the Company’s IPO Launches in Hong Kong

First Asia, soon the world—Saint Bella eyes the future. 

In a landscape where healthcare often overlooks the critical transitional period of the early stages of motherhood, Danny Xiang—the founder and CEO of Saint Bella Group—is set to make history with the company’s IPO. Established as the largest postpartum care brand in Asia, Saint Bella has garnered attention for its innovative approach, blending luxury with essential maternal care. As Xiang prepares to unveil this significant milestone, he reflects on his journey, the challenges ahead, and the profound impact he hopes to achieve globally.

Xiang’s journey began eight years ago, driven by a personal mission to support women during the often-turbulent transition to motherhood. “I started this idea purely with the hope of helping individual women when they become mothers,” he recalls. “We wanted to create products and services that would look after them in whatever circumstances they are experiencing.” This vision has led Saint Bella to become synonymous with premium postpartum care, achieving remarkable growth across Asia.

Chanel Celebrates 25 Years of the J12 Watch With a New Blue Ceramic Collection

As the official press release reads, “It is not white, it is not black, it is bleu…”

In a striking homage to its illustrious past, Chanel unveiled the J12 Bleu in Hong Kong with great fanfare, captivating fans on a balmy evening in the city. A limited-edition collection celebrating the 25th anniversary of the iconic J12 watch, the launch drew the usual caravan of celebrities and society figures. However, we were fascinated by the latest model from a house more renowned for its fashion, accessories, and iconic No. 5 perfume than its timepiece collections, and this latest iteration strikes us with a bold bolt of blue—well, “bleu,” as they say—encapsulating the essence of modern luxury, marrying innovative craftsmanship with a maritime aesthetic, and marking a significant milestone in the evolution of haute horlogerie.

Chanel J12 was born at the turn of the millennium, an audacious blend of form and function that redefined watchmaking conventions. Its pioneering use of ceramic—a material not widely embraced at the time—set a new standard in durability and design. Suddenly, every celebrity was seen sporting the chunky white accessories on their wrists. Fast-forward to 2025, and the J12 Bleu emerges as a testament to the maison’s relentless pursuit of innovation, now encased in a matte blue ceramic that embodies a distinct nautical spirit.

Baijiu Society Launches in Hong Kong With a Collection of Baijiu-Inspired Spirits

As the temperature rises, it’s time to cool off with refreshing cocktails in the mix. 

A new cultural movement is brewing—pun intended—as the Baijiu Society celebrates its official launch in Hong Kong. An enterprising collective dedicated to reimagining China’s iconic spirit, baijiu, for a modern audience while honouring its rich heritage, the Baijiu Society was founded by a diverse group of enthusiasts, representing a passionate commitment to bridging cultures through a shared love of this historic drink.

Baijiu, often regarded as China’s national spirit, has long been celebrated for its complex flavours and social significance. Its name roughly translates to “white liquor,” a distinguished distilled spirit crafted predominantly from grains, with sorghum serving as the most prevalent base. This remarkable category of spirit encompasses a wide array of styles, each exhibiting its own distinctive characteristics, flavours, and production techniques. Notably, baijiu holds the esteemed title of the most consumed liquor globally by volume, with its production significantly surpassing that of whisky and vodka combined. Here’s a fun opportunity to celebrate one of the most popular beverages in the world with a novel twist.

Christie’s Hong Kong Spring Luxury Week Ends With a Whopping HK$725 Million in Sales

Staggering figures were attained but the real surprise was how many vintage pieces found new homes among the new generation.

Late last month, Christie’s concluded its Spring Luxury Week in Hong Kong, achieving remarkable results across various categories, including jewellery, watches, wine, and handbags—and the sale of a Kashmiri sapphire we had our eyes on earlier. Spring Luxury Week culminated in total sales of HK$725 million, with an impressive 95 per cent sell-through rate by lot and a hammer price exceeding the low estimate by 111 per cent.

Christie’s continues to lead the luxury auction sector in Asia, successfully selling eight of the 10 most expensive lots this season, and the auction house’s ability to attract a diverse range of buyers is evident, with 22 per cent of participants being new to their sales—an increase of 19 per cent from spring 2024. Notably, nearly half of these new buyers belong to the Millennial generation or younger, indicating a significant shift in the demographics of luxury collectors, which have traditionally leaned towards a more mature age-bracket.

Penfolds Unveils Its Exclusive Grange La Chapelle 2021 Collaboration in Hong Kong

Penfolds and La Chapelle paint the town red with this rarefied limited edition.

Penfolds has unveiled its ultra-exclusive new wine, Grange La Chapelle 2021, now officially available in limited quantities in Hong Kong. A highly anticipated vintage, this release signifies an unprecedented collaboration in the world of viticulture, showcasing the artistry and innovation of two legendary winemakers: Peter Gago of Penfolds and Caroline Frey of La Chapelle, who proved that it does take two to tango.

Grange La Chapelle 2021 emerges from the deep-rooted friendship between Gago, chief winemaker of Penfolds Grange, and Frey, chief winemaker of La Chapelle in France, but their partnership is not merely a blending of wines—it is a celebration of culture, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of excellence. Resulting from that is a pioneering 50/50 blend of French Syrah and Australian Shiraz, marrying the storied terroirs of Hermitage and South Australia in a way that has, as far as memory serves, never been accomplished before.

Cartier Reimagines Its Emblematic Santos de Cartier Wristwatch In a Smaller Size

Not just for pilots or fashionistas, the latest accessory, now in a more petite size and available in a dual-tone colourway, is a must-have for the discerning collector.

Originally crafted for the pioneering aviator Alberto Santos-Dumont in 1904, the Santos de Cartier timepiece has oft been touted as the first modern wristwatch, breaking away from the pocket-watch tradition that had been the fashionable norm in the previous century. Its distinctive square case and visible screws—once a hidden aspect of horology—have become defining aesthetic elements of the singular design and collection. 

In 2025, Cartier introduces a new iteration of the Santos de Cartier, a smaller model that nonetheless reflects the proportions of the original designs. Measuring 27 mm x 34.5 mm, this latest design is available in both gold and steel, showcasing a blend of materials that enhances its elegance. Cartier maintains the design principles that characterise the larger models (as seen on Tom Cruise or Jake Gyllenhaal)—pure lines, precise shapes, and exquisite details—while contrasting these with the industrial allure of its visible screws.

Cindy Chao The Art Jewel has garnered admiration from connoisseurs and collectors alike over the years as the artist’s work is that perfect amalgam of bejewelled sculptures that can be worn with glittering ease. A perfectly structured leaf or butterfly dazzling in diamonds and precious stones—it must be the art jewel Chao is synonymous with.

Exploring the innovative approach of Humansa, where health optimisation meets luxury.

In an era where health and wellness have transcended mere trends to become the most paramount of priorities, Don So, CEO of Humansa, stands at the forefront of this transformative, evolving movement. His latest endeavour seeks to revolutionise the way we approach health management, particularly in the vibrant metropolis of Hong Kong. Robb Report Hong Kong speaks with So to shed light on Humansa’s innovative approach, the philosophy underpinning its services, and the compelling reasons behind why the health industry is witnessing a significant shift.

So’s journey into health optimisation is rooted in a profound understanding of human needs, cultivated through years of experience in an altogether entirely different industry: wealth management. What he studied was human behaviour and patterns—a sociological study, as he articulates that “the traditional view of health as merely the absence of illness is not sufficient. We are entering an era where optimal health is not just desirable—it is essential.”

Michelin-star-studded chef Cheung Yat-fung is bringing his culinary arts from Beijing for this year’s highly anticipated MGM x RR1HK Culinary Masters Macau 2025.

A distinguished culinary maestro hailing from our own shores, Cheung Yat-fung currently spearheads the famed Chao Shang Chao (Chaoyang) restaurant in Beijing.

As the executive chef with an unwavering passion for Chinese culinary arts, Cheung adeptly showcases innovative techniques and flavours through meticulously crafted menus that pay homage to the richness and sophistication of his heritage.

The Macallan’s Latest “Distil Your World” Release Is a Tribute to Hong Kong

Releases by The Macallan are always a matter of peak interest, and the latest drop in its celebrated Distil Your World series, focused on Hong Kong, exemplifies this developing pattern that’s intrigued us since we launched Robb Report Hong Kong in 2023.

Marie Lichtenberg’s New Line of Jewellery at Lane Crawford Highlights Accessories With a Global Accent, Sourced From the World

Neither trend nor fad can move this designer, but show her artisanal work and an endearing enamel and she’s yours.

From journalism to jewellery? Well, talk about a leap… of faith. When the profile of designer Marie Lichtenberg landed on our desk, with images of dazzling jewels of unexpected shape, size, and colour, and a plethora of gold instead of a diaspora of diamonds—well, colour us intrigued. A former editor of one of the most popular fashion magazines in Europe, she pivoted to accessories, unsheathing herself of her past role and creating a line of jewels as unique as she is. Now on display (and sale) in Lane Crawford’s jewellery department, you will find them lined up in glass-encased stands, beaming. It’s so… different.

In fact, it is hard to pinpoint where this jewellery comes from. Sure, the former French editor has a look and accent that is as Parisian as it gets—her maternal roots trace back to Martinique—but the inspiration, reference points, and seed of an idea came into fruition after global travels and worldly influence. When we finally meet in person in the Platinum Suite at Lane Crawford, where the designer is (gold-)chained to the desk with a flurry of appointments with VIP clients and the odd editor, she’s all charm and tinkling accessories. Her strong neck holds up at least half a dozen necklaces of gold and indiscriminate precious stones, enamel, and lacquer. But she holds that neck high, her arms bejewelled with bracelets and rings of gold. She’s the walking embodiment of her eponymous brand.

The Best in Wines & Spirits 2025, From Krug and Royal Salute to The Glenlivet and Domaine Des Lambrays

BLENDED SCOTCH
ROYAL SALUTE
62 Gun Salute Collection

In the thick of a balmy summer, Royal Salute unveiled its prestigious 62 Gun Salute collection, a tribute to the grandeur of British ceremonial honour. Comprising an exceptional trio of blended Scotch whiskies crafted by esteemed master blender Sandy Hyslop, this release embodies the regal heritage of the highly awarded brand.

Alongside the original 62 Gun Salute Reserve, two new expressions—the American Oak Reserve, characterised by vibrant tropical fruit notes, and the Peated Reserve, offering a smoky finish reminiscent of London’s evening skyline—provide flavour profiles that are at once harmonious and distinct. Each variant promises a profound experience, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that has defined Royal Salute for over four decades.
