The Shopper Tote: Louis Vuitton's Bag of Tricks

3 days ago | sharpmagazine.com | Cormac Newman

Take a moment to think of your latest purchase. It could have been a practical one: a hardware update for the home office, say, or a replacement for your favourite trousers. Perhaps it was a special gift, thoughtfully plucked from the shelf. Wherever the transaction took you, we’re willing to bet that a recognizable, rectangular silhouette was there too: the shopping bag. As we ditch single-use plastics, the reusable shopping bag has become a quotidian staple.

From the pages of SHARP: The Book For Men, our men’s watch photoshoot captures this season’s most compelling timepieces.

Wagyu, Wine, & the NBA Playoffs: New Restaurant Brings Its A-Game to Hotel X

1 week ago | sharpmagazine.com | Ben Kriz

Most bars or restaurants with sports on TV don’t serve fresh branzino crudo. At The Playbook Commons, the newest addition to Hotel X Toronto, that’s kind of the point. It’s a sports bar — or rather, a sports restaurant — dressed up like an Italian steakhouse, with enough serious flavour to justify staying for one more drink after the final whistle blows. The new bar-restaurant comes from Harlo Entertainment (Kasa Moto, Valerie), a group that clearly knows how to build a crowd-pleaser.

1 week ago | sharpmagazine.com | Marriska Fernandes

For two decades, English actor Simon Pegg has been a constant, evolving presence in the Mission: Impossible franchise as the lovable IMF tech specialist, Benji Dunn. With the release of Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning this Friday, Pegg reflected on the unparalleled privilege of shaping a character over such a long span, his collaborative process with director Christopher McQuarrie and the unique bond he shares with co-star Tom Cruise.
Commuter Future: City Carving With The Can-Am Pulse

Can-Am x SHARPThis test of the Can-Am Pulse has been a long time coming; the launch news broke in the fall of 2023, and though I’d secured some great seat time in Austin in the fall of 2024 at Can-Am’s first global ride program, the real test was always going to be on home turf. I knew I was already smitten with the Pulse’s snappy power delivery and low centre of gravity, but what would it be like on the streets of Toronto, commuting to work and terrorizing the town?
Desert Power: Secretive Defender Dakar D7X‑R Takes Flight Ahead of Rally Debut

2 weeks ago | sharpmagazine.com | Matt Bubbers

In the dunes of Morocco under a blistering sun, Defender conducted the first test of its Dakar D7X‑R prototype ahead of its debut in the World Rally‑Raid Championship (W2RC) and the 2026 Dakar Rally. It’s the most gruelling (and sometimes deadly) off-road race in the world, so the team certainly has its work cut out for it.
Vacheron Constantin Just Released A New, Delightfully-Excessive Overseas

2 weeks ago | sharpmagazine.com | Jeremy Freed

Before his ill-fated attempt to summit Mount Everest in 1924, a reporter asked British explorer George Mallory why he wanted to climb the mountain in the first place. He famously replied, “Because it’s there.” Such, one has to imagine, is the thinking at Vacheron Constantin, the 270-year-old Swiss luxury watch brand and the world’s oldest continuously operating watchmaker.

On a recent trip to Asia, the opportunity presented itself to fly through Tokyo and stay 48 hours before returning to Toronto. While I had my own running list of places I wanted to check out, a lot of consulting took place, with me asking and receiving — for better or for worse — a plethora of suggestions.
Blue Zone: New Tiffany & Co. Collection Pays Homage to 150 Years of Watchmaking

2 weeks ago | sharpmagazine.com | Jeremy Freed

Tiffany & Co.’s robin’s-egg blue boxes — a colour that’s been a symbol of the famed New York City jeweller since the 19th century — make it perhaps the only luxury brand in the world that’s as famous for its packaging as what’s inside. And considering the gold-and-diamond jewellery typically found inside, that’s all the more impressive. But after more than 175 years in business, there’s much more to Tiffany & Co.’s story than jewellery.
