Champion

Reverse Weave StormShell Zip Front Hoodie

$150.00

A collaborative design by C LAB and Champion Japan, the Reverse Weave StormShell Zip Front Hoodie provides the brand’s signature look and comfort, but with a tech-forward approach to weather-protection. The outer layer repels rain (or even snow), while the second layer offers protection against the wind. The three-panel hood and scuba collar create even more of a shield against the elements. Inside, Champion’s iconic fleece keeps you cozy and comfortable. With various types of pockets, all your belongings remain safe and dry too.

SSENSE + Jeremy O Harris

Black + Pink Rose Long Sleeve T-Shirt

$160.00

For the debut SSENSE WORKS capsule collection (wherein the luxury retailer SSENSE invites a member of its creative community to collaborate), Tony-nominated playwright and polymath Jeremy O Harris developed a vibrant, colorful and textural set of shirts, pants and accessories. Harris found inspiration from “the spirit of Zora Neale Hurston’s writing, the sound of Ethel Waters’ singing, the colors of Jacob Lawrence’s paintings and the textures of Carl Van Vechten’s photos” as well as the style of friends, collaborators and colleagues—including director Janicza Bravo and photographer Tyler Mitchell. Highlights are plentiful but our personal favorite is the Black + Pink Rose Long Sleeve T-Shirt.

This particular oil is 100% pure and wildcrafted from trees native to Ecuador—one of the South American countries where it’s indigenous.

Krug

2006 Clos du Mesnil Champagne

$1,050.00

Only the 19th vintage of Krug Clos du Mesnil—an elegant liquid crafted entirely from Chardonnay grapes grown during one harvest cycle upon a charming 4.5-acre plot of land in the iconic region—the luminous 2006 liquid exemplifies the celebratory spirit of Champagne. Though it noses of citrus and dried fruits, it flourishes on the palate with flavors of buttery pastry and meringue. There’s a welcome intensity to the bubbles, and a lengthy finish. There are only 14,973 bottles of this vintage.

Shuji Nakagawa

Vase by Nakagawa Mokkouegi

$1,900.00

Third-generation woodworker Shuji Nakagawa at Nakagawa Mokkouegi in Shiga used a 700-year-old technique called Ki-Oke (or bucket-making) to craft these vases—in an edition of 30 unique pieces. Today there are just a few of these traditional artisans left—and unlike many of his peers, Nakagawa also uses the technique to create more modern objects like these. For this particular commission, we asked him to create a vase with an organic shape unlike one he’d ever produced before. When he presented the stellar collection of 30 pieces he said the commission was the most challenging project he’s worked on.

Each collection they release explores stories about human rights and environmental awareness and everything the brand makes is fair trade.
