A city that inspires, surprises, and reminds us, time and again, that true beauty lives in the details, Paris provides the setting for Cabana’s newest City Guide, conceived with Ralph Lauren Home. Join us behind the scenes at the elegant launch event, held in Paris during Deco Off 2026.

Last night, during Paris Deco Off 2026, friends of Cabana gathered for a celebratory evening hosted by Martina Mondadori, at Ralph Lauren’s elegant Saint Germain flagship, one of the most distinguished addresses from the pages of Cabana's new Paris City Guide. They came together to pay homage to a creative partnership that illuminates Paris' most beloved institutions, iconic destinations, hidden gems, and inspiring addresses. 

Each is seen through Cabana’s distinctive lens in the fourth edition of our collectible series of city guides. Inside, style, travel, and culture converge to reveal the most beautiful and covetable places to stay, shop, dine, and explore across four of the world’s most iconic cities: Milan, London, New York, and now Paris

Guests were welcomed into the majestic boutique, housed within a historic hôtel particulier dating back to 1683. With its limestone façade, wrought-iron balconies, and Versailles-style parquet floors, the space offered a fitting and evocative backdrop for the celebration. Cocktails and amuse-bouches flowed as guests, including Géraldine Guyot Arnault, François Halard, Michael Smith, Vincent Darré, Laura Kugel, Amy Astley, and Natasha Fraser, exchanged stories and embraces.

The City Guide itself is enveloped in patterns from Ralph Lauren Home’s Spring 2026 Meadow Lane fabric collection. These same fabrics were transformed into a special installation, blurring the line between page and place. Guests mingled amid layered textiles, refined patterns, and a palette that echoed both Parisian elegance and Ralph Lauren’s enduring vision of home.

Like all of Cabana's guides, the Paris edition invites readers to look beyond the expected, past façades, through hidden courtyards, and into the quieter moments where cities reveal themselves slowly. It offers an intimate, timeless way to experience Paris — not as a visitor, but as a participant in its ongoing dialogue between past and present.

While the celebration itself was fleeting, the installation remains on view at Ralph Lauren's flagship store and at Ralph's Coffee, where the space is similarly transformed in their Spring 2026 collection. Visitors are invited to experience the collection — and the world of Cabana’s Paris City Guide (available at Ralph's Coffee) — long after the night has passed.
