Summer Essentials

A Padel Racket

Padel is THE sport of Summer 2026. Y1 Padel is a community-first padel brand, backed by 10 years of experience in carbon fibre sports equipment. They epitomise what it means to be a true community brand. They also became the first carbon-neutral brand in the hockey and padel sports sectors, as well as one of the earliest in the teamwear market. That commitment started with a simple but powerful belief: sustainability is not just a trend. It’s a long-term journey.

You can find your perfect racket by taking their online racket quiz (The Lab) by answering just five important questions. The AX3 was developed by asking 4,000 UK players what they actually wanted from a racket – then putting prototypes into the hands of over 200 of them to test, feed back on, and refine before it was released. The professional rackets in the AX Range were developed in conjunction with GB top-ten player Ellie Tait. London-based, Y1 builds its products through huge amounts of real player feedback, runs regular community events up and down the country, and engineers its rackets using premium materials.

Inspired by the rise of micro-indulgence and small-format serves highlighted in the Bacardi 2026 Cocktail Trends Report – which also names the Dry Martini among the top 10 cocktails globally for 2026 – the Tiniest Tini brings a playful luxury twist to one of the world’s most iconic cocktails. Created with GREY GOOSE Altius – a luxury vodka defined by precision, inspired by high-altitude crystallisation and filtered at glacial temperatures of -24°C – the Tiniest Tini marks the beginning of a new collaboration between GREY GOOSE Altius and Virgin Atlantic, with the ultra-premium vodka joining the Clubhouse drinks offering.
