Men’s Lightweight Indigo Sashiko

$69.00

Made from 100% cotton, yarn-dyed indigo sashiko, these slip-ons from the TOMS + The Hill-Side collaboration feature quintessential elements of each brand. Thanks to The Hill-Side’s ties to Tokyo, the fabric comes from Japan, while the design of the shoe is classic TOMS. With blue chambray lining and a rubber outsole, the shoes are comfortable enough for everyday wear, while the rich indigo colorway elevates them to a more sophisticated level.

Eroticize Equality T-Shirt

$35.00

Gloria Steinem once said that we need to “eroticize equality” rather than women’s bodies. This T-shirt from Prinkshop makes the statement, plain and simple, for all to see. The best part about wearing this particular belief on your chest is that Prinkshop gives 30% of their profits to Lady Parts Justice—an organization that uses humor and transparency to educate women about how their rights are being removed, and encourage people to form alliances in order to keep each other safe.

Type 75 Desk Lamp

$240.00

With inspiration from Mondrian and Theo van Doesburg’s De Stijl movement, the Type 75 Desk Lamp is the epitome of form and function. The red, yellow, white and blue lamp—designed by Paul Smith and Anglepoise—makes for an ideal desk lamp, but of course would do just as well as a bedside light. With primary colors and sharp lines, the lamp is made from aluminum and cast iron and comes with an energy-efficient 10W E27 LED lightbulb.

Som Drinking Vinegar

$19.00

Pok Pok doesn’t only serve Michelin-starred Thai food at its two restaurants, they also offer concentrated drinking vinegar—a tangy concentrate that can be diluted with soda water, or put to work in cocktails. We’ve been fans of drinking vinegar (specifically Pok Pok’s) for years now and while the health benefits are aplenty, the brand’s flavors—ginger, pineapple, pomegranate, tamarind or Thai basil—make focusing on wellness (scientific studies support that vinegar helps reduce blood sugar spikes and the absorption of nutrients) even more fun.

Yayoi Kusama Glass House Tote

$40.00

Made in an edition of 250 and sold exclusively through The Glass House Design Store, this 100% cotton Yayoi Kusama-designed tote commemorates the artist’s playful exhibition at New Canaan, Connecticut’s Philip Johnson Glass House. The installation, known as “Narcissus Garden,” features Kusama’s signature dots and balls placed on the lawn, water and glass windows. In turn, the bag references exactly that, in a bold black and red colorway. In addition to being rather eccentric, it’s also handy.

Carry-On Suitcase

$550.00

Arlo Skye’s Carry-On suitcase is much more than just lightweight. Sophisticated and elegant with no detail ignored, the suitcase comes with a super-useful built-­in 10,050 mAh portable charger, which is hidden away under the handle so it doesn’t disrupt any of the clean lines of the case or get bumped or scratched in transit. The practical pieces are not only user-friendly, but the brand’s direct-to-consumer business model means they are also surprisingly affordable. Available in black, silver or champagne colorways, the Carry-On measures 22 by 14 by 9 inches—meaning all major US airlines will let you bring it aboard.

SBB Giant Watch

$325.00

Their minimalist sensibilities have earned Switzerland’s Mondaine watches many accolades and a place in the MoMA Design Store, but it’s the brand’s ability to make the minimal seem so powerful and engaging that keeps fans on their toes. With the recently released SBB Giant—in an all-black colorway, except for a striking red seconds hand—a clean, classic design feels like something more. At 42mm, it’s also not that giant, but rests well on the wrist, especially considering its lug-less design.

Eleplanter

While the charm of designer Scott Henderson’s self-watering Eleplanter is undeniable, there’s more at play than a cute animal reference. The trunk of the elephant actually functions as a watering reservoir, holding two weeks of liquid. The plant and soil rest in a receptacle with tiny weep holes, situated within the porcelain exterior design. The perforation absorption means there’s no overflow, over-watering or rising soil. Altogether, it’s a clever system for anyone looking for an easy windowsill herb garden.
