Orlebar Brown men’s boutique at Fashion Island collaborates with VEA Newport Beach

Luxury resort VEA Newport Beach will collaborate in June with British menswear brand Orlebar Brown, new at Fashion Island, offering a pop-up on Saturdays at VEA’s poolside cabana, an in-room shopping concierge, a new cocktail and certificates to shop at the boutique.

Resort-wear specialist Orlebar Brown, part of the Chanel fashion house, reinvents holiday style for men at more than 250 fashion destinations around the world. Its classic tailored Bulldog shorts remain the best “shorts you can swim in.” Also offered: shirts, trousers, footwear and sunglasses.

The ambience at the boutique: “We’re here to holiday better,” says manager John Quandt.

Those staying in suites at VEA, a Marriott Resort & Spa, receive a $250 Orlebar Brown gift certificate. Hanger tags in guest rooms activate a personal shopping concierge that can deliver products from the store across the street.

Orlebar Brown debuts a cocktail at VEA’s outdoor Edge Bar. The Good Times includes Tanqueray gin, St-Germain, lemon, cucumber and mint, The straw sports the brand’s signature red-and-white stripes.

Saturdays from noon to 4 p.m., the cabana offers branded pool accessories amid custom upholsteries, and a sampling of Orlebar Brown’s latest collection can be purchased directly. In addition, a Shop and Stay Package June 1-15 (veanewportbeach.com, promo code SHO) includes a $100 gift card to Fashion Island and $50 credit at VEA restaurants and bars.

“VEA provides the perfect backdrop for a luxury fashion experience,” VEA General Manager Debbie Snavely says. “Orlebar Brown embodies the essence of our guests – elegant yet approachable, polished yet relaxed.”
