Unisex Hooded Zip Sweatshirt

$99.00

Hoodies—like totes—are so prevalent that they really should only warrant attention when truly special. This 97% cotton and 3% lycra zip hooded sweatshirt has been made entirely in the USA, but of equal importance, 100% of net proceeds get donated to the charitable foundation division of Livelihood—and their community development initiatives. Founded by social worked Ashley Biden, Livelihood puts this money directly into two under-resourced neighborhoods in the DC area. And they’re aiming for more. As for the comfy sweatshirt, the unisex version comes in four colorways, but the women’s and children’s iterations are offered in many more.

Ace Of Spades Rug

$1,050.00

Brand new to the MoMA Design Store, the Ace of Spades rug by Maurizio Cattelan, Stefano Seletti and Pierpaolo Ferrari (some of the team behind Toiletpaper magazine) certainly makes a bold statement. With the iconic image—featuring a two of spades sandwiched between butt cheeks—set upon recycled polyester and cotton, a new large-scale inkjet printing process was utilized. Further, it has been heat-treated to maximize the image’s effect.
