The Holiday 2025 Pop-Up in Hon

On 16 October in Hong Kong, Diptyque opened a pop-up designed to reveal – across 150 square metres and two levels – the surreal, poetic atmosphere of A Night of Wax and Gold, the festive fairy tale from Diptyque that inspired the Holiday 2025 collection. Touches of gold light up each creation, transforming every gesture into a ritual, every object into a story, every space into a scene of enchantment.

Located in Hollywood Road, the pop-up instantly catches the eye, its emblematic green façade decorated with sentences from the story in golden ink – plus the head of Archibald, the mischievous cat central to the narrative conceived by illustrator Vincent Puente. From the moment the threshold is crossed, this is a world apart – colours, décor and immersive spirit evoking the bookshop from the tale: a haven of warmth filled with books, encouraging dreaming and imagination. A magical bookshop inside a fantastical universe: walls and furniture painted in a soothing green, gold-coloured pine cones and glittering trees, while concealed side rooms decorated with illustrations await discovery.
