Alta Belleza Tequila

$1,200.00

Limited to just 563 bottles, Alta Belleza is tequila brand Casa Noble’s debut product in their new collectible spirits range known as Colección del Fundador. One my ask why there’s such a hefty price tag on this and the answer is simple: this is a single-barrel Extra Añejo tequila (no blending involved) that has been slow-aged in French white oak barrels and finished in very rare Tonnellerie Taransaud French Oak barrels from the To Kalon Vineyard—one of the most prestigious New World estates. All of the elements here are rare and considered.

“We Can Be Radical” Onesie

$25.00

Printed on a 100% cotton unisex black American Apparel onesie, this same design is available for tots of all sizes—and there are T-shirts for bigger kids too.

Centenario 25

$148.00

There’s a reason why aged rum comes at such a cost. In the climates where rum is aged, like Nicaragua for Flor de Caña, much of the spirit evaporates each year leaving very minimal stock. At 25 years old, Flor de Caña’s Centenario is a true rarity and one of the most flavorful options in the ever-emerging sipping rum category. This award-winning spirit carries plenty of caramel notes from all the time it’s spent in wood.

Fortifying Face Balm

$36.00

Made among the Green Mountains of Vermont, Ursa Major skincare launched in late 2010 to provide a healthy and effective alternative to chemical-laden products. By favoring organic over synthetic, Ursa Major promotes a “super natural” regimen of face wash, toner and shaving cream, and a fortifying face balm—the latter being our favorite. Each product in the line blends a variety of essential oils ranging from aloe, lemon and carrot to bamboo and cedar that come together with a pleasant, mild fragrance. Besides the effectiveness of the products, we like the simple, recyclable packaging emblazoned with the bear constellation for which the brand is named.

KeyMission 360 Camera

It’s also WiFi- and bluetooth-compatible, but more importantly, it’s water- and shock-proof meaning you can take it absolutely anywhere.

How to See

$15.00

For some, a work of art in a museum or gallery can require substantial consideration. For others, a passing glance will do. One can choose to read into symbolism, coloration and more—or purely enjoy (or despise) any type of art for aesthetic reasons. For all the aforementioned, and everyone in between, acclaimed painter David Salle’s book “How to See” offers a helping hand. A series of intimate portraits of Salle’s friends (including Jeff Koons and Alex Katz), peers and other inspirational artists, the work introduces the language of art in a way that artists themselves speak it.
