The latest work of fiction from the award-winning writer Michael Ondaatje (author of The English Patient), Warlight explores mysterious, murky and stark developments in the lives of teenage siblings Nathaniel and Rachel.

Belgian designer Raf Simons’ collaboration with Eastpak continues to deliver colors, patterns and silhouettes that defy the backpack brand’s heritage. For those who are tired of the typical angular backpack, the RS Sleek Sling is a great alternative. Its pleated front-panel construction opens to a substantial main compartment, emphasizing zipped functionality. But it’s the tweed pattern that makes this bag a little unconventional and ultimately covetable.
An ideal size for a few stems, each speckled vase by O-M Ceramic is unique—made by hand and meticulously so. With just enough color, the playful design also feels a little DIY. Thanks to a gloss glaze and underglaze, it’s safe to fill up with water.

Dubbed the Skullstronaut, this character by Blamo Toys is a space-surfing, post-mortem version of one of their previously released toys, Colonel Stache O’Hair.

The love affair between Japan and Levi’s is rooted in ’50s-era American rock’n’roll films. The jeans worn by the rebel characters were Levi’s, but the jeans weren’t available in Japan and therefore became treasured relics of the culture. The ensuing collaboration, between style icon Motofumi “Poggy” Kogi and Levi’s, is a direct reference to one of Poggy’s favorite jackets in his vintage collection.
AYTM’s fall/winter collection is full of beautiful, minimal pieces in which to display candles.

“200 Women: Who Will Change The Way You See The World” profiles its subjects by asking them the same five questions: “What really matters to you? What brings you happiness? What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? What would you change if you could? Which single word do you most identify with?” Their answers are indicative of their experiences, but their responses will inspire, empower, and in some instances infuriate—thanks to the structures they (and all women) have to navigate.
Made from recycled US Air Force parachutes, this KILLSPENCER parachute bag is guaranteed to be rip-resistant, lightweight, and literally, military-grade. The same way that Airmen trusted this material to guide them to back to the ground, you can trust it to protect your cleanest sneakers—or your dirtiest laundry.
Nespresso pods have been subject to scrutiny for their impact on the environment because they can’t be recycled in a traditional manner.
