Canvas City
Hable Construction, a new NoLIta shop featuring the designs of a pair of Texan sisters, is packed with delectably bold, colorful pillows, throws, hats, and bags. Our favorite is this super-versatile canvas basket – roomy enough for a summer weekend’s worth of clothes, or to hold towels or magazines ($160).

Sin So Soft
“I wanted to take needlepoint out of the cocker-spaniel world,” says Jonathan Adler of his new pillows with the seven deadly sins on them. (Adler’s favorites are Gluttony and Lust.) The pillows come in brown and yellow, blue and light blue, black and white, and red and pink ($165).

Sole Survivors
What do famed quarterback Joe Theisman and boxer Sugar Ray Leonard have in common? They were both huge fans of PRO-Keds, a line of sneakers that debuted in 1949 and has just been reintroduced. There are nine cool, retro leather styles to choose from. We like the Court Kings, shown here, available in seven different color combinations ($45 to $50).
