DIG OUT YOUR FLAPPER OUTFIT
Pearls? Check. Feathers? Check.
You’ll need them this month as
Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby

embraces a 1920s vibe. If you
fancy trying life in the années
folles, like Leo DiCaprio, Carey
Mulligan and the rest, head to one
of these vintage hangouts and party
like it’s 1929...

STIR UP THE LOVE
Mini-breaks can be such a yawn, what with all
that staring into your loved one’s eyes. Enter
Spanish Thyme Traveller, with their paella
weekender in Valencia. Described as “a full-on
foodie experience”, the three-day trip invites
couples to taste, shop for and make their own
versions of the dish, so no time to get bored!

RENT A BAG
Why buy a vintage bag when you can borrow one instead?
That’s the theory behind Parisian boutique Lorette &
Jasmin, which – as well as selling classic pieces – now
offers stylish punters the chance to rent them as well.
Look no further for your perfect companion for a sashay
down the Champs-Élysées.

PRESCRIPTION

Unwind at this quirky speakeasy in
Saint Germain. The cocktail list is
straight out of a Fitzgerald novel and
a faux bookcase slides open to reveal
a second, secret – well, not now –
bar.

KABINET
prague
For a more low-key Gatsby vibe, take
the Metro to Prague’s Dejvice district
for this vintage coffee house. Full of
taxidermy and curios, it’s worth a
visit for its eclectic interior alone.
