Shell Case for iPhone

$55.00

While we traditionally shy away from branding on iPhone cases, there’s something definitively charming about the embossed octopus on Nodus’ new shell case. The slim top vegetable-tanned Italian leather item is otherwise visually minimal but there are numerous features worth mentioning. On its interior, there’s a soft microfiber lining, and the case itself has a polycarbonate core for shock protection. There’s also an internal magnetic docking system, and a free portable dock. Altogether, almost all iPhone case needs have been addressed in a beautiful product. Price in Pounds.

Mouth-Made High Five Chocolate Bar

$7.00

Tapping into the familiar notion of a Take5 bar—sporting five salty-sweet layers—Mouth Foods’ High Five bar takes all that’s deliriously delicious about the original and brings it to the present day. Made in Brooklyn and featuring caramel, pretzels, roasted peanuts and peanut butter, all coated in milk chocolate, the High Five forgoes both high fructose corn syrup and preservatives. It’s as healthy as a chocolate bar can be and all the ingredients are incredibly transparent. That said, it’s a whole lot of flavor and that matters most.

Loring Place Apron

$98.00

Made in NYC, this 100% cotton chambray apron was designed by celebrated designer Todd Snyder for (and in collaboration with) Chef Dan Kluger. The chef and his staff in the Greenwich Village’s Loring Place restaurant actually wear the handsome, functional piece when they work. Utility is key here (as evidenced with the stow pockets) and the classic workwear references (like the contrast stitching and X bar tacks) throughout the design make it ultimately sophisticated.
