Luxury Southern California resort VEA Newport Beach has taken its foray into fashion by collaborating with menswear brand Orlebar Brown, which just opened its first Orange County, CA retail location at Fashion Island. Throughout the month of June, the beloved British lifestyle brand will host a pop-up shop within VEA’s poolside cabana and offer a fleet of onsite amenities, including an in-room shopping concierge, a signature cocktail, and certificates to shop at the brand-new flagship across the street from the resort.

Every Saturday in June, Orlebar Brown will activate a cabana at VEA’s glistening pool with custom upholsteries, branded pool accessories, and a sampling of the brand’s latest collection that VEA guests can purchase directly. In every VEA guest room, guests will find hanger tags that activate a personal shopping concierge that can deliver product from the Fashion Island store, located steps away from the resort. Guests staying in VEA suites throughout the month of June will receive a $250 Orlebar Brown gift certificate. Additionally, Orlebar Brown will debut a signature cocktail at VEA’s Edge Bar, Newport Beach‘s largest outdoor bar. The “Good Times” cocktail features Tanqueray Gin, fresh lemon juice, St-Germain, simple syrup, cucumber, and mint, topped with a straw in Orlebar Brown’s signature red-and-white stripes.

“VEA provides the perfect backdrop for a luxury fashion experience,” said Debbie Snavely, General Manager of VEA Newport Beach Marriott, A Marriott Resort & Spa. “Orlebar Brown embodies the essence of our guests—elegant yet approachable, relaxed yet polished. We’re thrilled to offer VEA guests the opportunity to engage with the brand both at our resort and just steps away at the new Fashion Island location.”

Enjoy a $100 gift card to Fashion Island, Orange County’s epicenter of style and culture just steps from the resort.
