Monaco Yacht Show 2026: Heirlooms Brings the Spirit of Sri Lanka's Surf Coast to the Stand

We're returning to Monaco Yacht Show this September, the world's grandest showcase of superyachts, set within the harbour of Port Hercule.

For Heirlooms, Monaco is more than a trade show, it is one week of the year the brand gets to create their own Haute Couture inspired range for the linen catwalk. It’s a chance to go wild with design and push our production teams further by testing new techniques and showing what is truly possible when craftsmanship meets imagination and playfulness.

This year, that story begins with the shores of Sri Lanka where our collection is inspired by the island's surf scene - warm pink sand meets humid, vibrant jungle, and salt worn, sun bleached textures present a life lived outdoors creating their own special kind of luxury - the 2026 collection encapsulates this beautifully.

Terracotta hues echo the warmth of sun-baked earth. Jungle greens bring the depth of the rainforest canopy. And soft, orange-tinged pinks capture the shade of their pink sand beaches at the edge of the water. Layered together, the effect is relaxed, worn in and full of warmth, a deliberate contrast to the crisp perfection associated with some superyacht interiors.

The collection of bed and table linens are woven at Heirlooms' longstanding Italian weave mills who are world-class with long-lasting high-quality materials and share a genuine commitment to sustainable practices. Along with the bed linens, decorative cushions and accessories are created using materials from Arley House, Harlequin, Jane Churchill and 3 Beaches’ outdoor performance fabrics. The pieces are then finished with trims and fringing from Samuel and Sons. Stripes, scalloped edges, and embroidered or printed patterns are layered throughout, building a look that is fun and inviting.

"After visiting Sri Lanka earlier on in the year, I felt so drawn to the kindness and warmth of the island. So full of inspiration, colour, and texture, I knew it would be the perfect theme for this years’ show. Sri Lanka offered so much – from the humid mountain ranges where highly decorated temples stand strong to the vibrant yet slower pace of life on the south coast where the surf scene is colourful and abundant. For the stand, I wanted to capture the feel of the island and create a fun, interesting, and inviting space for those who visit. Almost like a subtle nod to the people of Sri Lanka who are themselves exceptionally inviting.”

Heirlooms are also delighted to share we have been nominated by Blue Wake™, the Monaco Yacht Show's programme dedicated to identifying and celebrating credible and measurable environmental innovation across the yachting industry. Each Blue Wake™ solution is independently assessed in partnership with the Water Revolution Foundation, evaluated against evidence and data across categories including sustainable materials and construction, circularity, eco-design and water protection.

The recognition reflects Heirlooms' long-term commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and building a more sustainable supply chain, from its choice of weave mills through to the way its products are made to last.

“After 23 years exhibiting, the Monaco Yacht Show is without doubt a highlight of the year enabling our team to engage with clients and showcasing why Heirlooms continue to be a leader of excellence and innovation in the yacht industry through our incredible creative flair, excellence in craftsmanship and dedication to the industry.”

Heirlooms are also delighted to announce an upcoming partnership with Crew a la Mode, the specialist crew uniform and accessory agency. Heirlooms created a bespoke bed linen range specified by Crew a la Mode to complement its own crew looks, extending the agency's considered styling for all areas onboard. It is a partnership that reflects Heirlooms' growing role not just as a supplier of fine linens, but as a genuine design partner across the yachting world and our ongoing commitment to crew wellbeing through quality linens.
