As epicureans await the highly anticipated Four Seasons Yacht to be ready for its maiden voyage, fashion enthusiasts can look to The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons resort in the Bahamas, for a unique summer experience with French fashion house Jacquemus. A collaboration of this kind is a first for both luxury brands and, coincidentally, marks Jacquemus’s first store in North America, albeit it’s a pop-up.
Located on Paradise Island, The Ocean Club boasts unparalleled luxury and service, all within the comforts of a secluded enclave bursting with unspoiled Bahamian beauty. Opened in 1962, it remains one of the highly sought-after Caribbean resort experiences – soon, with a Jacquemus touch, only from June 7 to July 31, 2024.
Having built a stellar reputation as a playground for celebrities and discerning travellers, the resort offers the perfect setting for Jacquemus’s “pop luxury” immersion. For starters, Versailles-inspired lawns and gardens complement the resort’s gorgeous tropical landscape and shimmering white-sand beach. Its on-site boutique, Carlo, has made a name for itself as the leading luxury, fashion, and jewellery retailer in the Bahamas, carrying only the finest edits from the best designers in the world. Here’s what the entire Four Seasons + Jacquemus collaboration entails.
The First Jacquemus Store in North America
While, yes, an unambiguous Jacquemus signage was spotted in New York’s bustling SoHo with a subtle “Coming Soon” message back in May 2024, further details of the supposed NYC flagship store – like the opening date – remain to be seen. Until then, Four Seasons’s The Ocean Club resort takes the title of Jacquemus’s first North American store.
Opening as a pop-up and taking over Carlo, The Ocean Club’s on-site boutique, the 760-square-foot space has been transformed to deliver an authentic Jacquemus meets French Riviera shopping experience. Guests can see, touch, and feel (and buy) selected pieces from the label’s Spring-Summer Ready to Wear collection for both men and women. These items include accessories, swimwear, eyewear, and shoes.
However, the boutique carries an even more exclusive item: A Jacquemus luxe pool towel.
Exclusive Four Seasons + Jacquemus Pool Towel
What better way to commemorate the collaboration than with a keepsake? Finely crafted from 100 per cent cotton in Portugal, the 100cm x 180cm pool towel features bold black and white stripes and was exclusively designed by Jacquemus for Four Seasons. It’s available in limited quantities at The Ocean Club and shop.fourseasons.com.
The Jacquemus Poolside Experience
The reimagination of the Jacquemus resort experience can be found at The Ocean Club’s iconic Versailles and Ocean Pools. The former is likened to an adults-only oasis, enshrouded by towering palms and lush surroundings. The infinity-edged Ocean Pool, on the other hand, is a tempting 38-metre stretch of turquoise water against the Atlantic Ocean as its backdrop.
Whichever guests pick to laze and enjoy that summer breeze, they’ll find Jacquemus-designed fabrics for loungers, accent pillows, sunshades, and pool toys. The designs feature a hand-painted stripe pattern in pop combinations of black/white, yellow/white, blue/white and red/white.
The Four Seasons + Jacquemus experience at The Ocean Club, A Four Seasons Resort, Bahamas, is available from June 7 to July 31, 2024. Visit the website to book a stay or make an enquiry.
