For this week’s Don’t DillyDally, we’ve surfaced a range of things we’re sure will sell out, including Riot Swim’s foray into loungewear, Warby Parker’s collaboration with A$AP Nast, and Brightland’s new fermented vinegar.
Brightland Persimmon Vinegar
Brightland’s latest offering, Folklore, is a fermented vinegar with a bright, tangy flavor. Made from organic Fuyu and Hachiya persimmons, it works as both a vinaigrette dressing and gut-healthy drink. Folklore is made in partnership with White Buffalo Land Trust, so all of the persimmons used are regeneratively grown on family farms on California’s Central Coast.
Ghia x Craig’s Ice Cream
In time for Valentine’s Day, Ghia teamed up with Craig’s for a sweet, special-edition bundle: two jars of Ghia’s healthyish (read: less sugar and no palm oil) hazelnut spread and a stylish handblown stemless martini glass. You also get a code to redeem for five pints of Craig’s vegan ice cream.
Le Labo Candle
In candle news, Le Labo added a new scent to its lineup this week. Ambroxyde 17 is said to be a close cousin to its Another 13 scent (our favorite musky perfume), with notes of ambroxyde, musks, and woods that are balanced by jasmine and moss.
W&P Ice Cube
W&P, the brand behind five Strategist staffers’ favorite ice-cube trays, released a handy ice tray with storage yesterday. The “Ice Cube” is its easy-to-use silicone ice tray sitting atop a plastic container that holds 48 cubes. The entire product — tray and container — is BPA-free and dishwasher safe.
Baggu Puffy Fanny Packs
Baggu added to its line of fanny packs in its newly dropped spring collection. As its name suggests, it’s puffier than the original fanny pack, and it’s slightly smaller but still spacious enough to hold essentials. It comes in three solids — black, pistachio, and lilac — and two patterns — pink-and-green stripes and a fun cherry print.
Yesterday, Strategist favorite Warby Parker released limited-edition sunglasses in collaboration with rapper A$AP Nast. The bold rectangular-shaped glasses come in white or hot pink and can be purchased as nonprescription, single-vision, progressives, or readers.
Watchmaker Breda frequently modernizes traditional styles (take its Revel with green hands, for example), so we weren’t surprised by its partnership with Gen-Z favorite jewelry brand Dalmata. They released two rings — in silver and in gold — made with an expandable band and a 15-mm. soft-edged square case framed by a crystal-covered bezel.
CUUP Fishnet Tights
We’re already fans of CUUP’s sexy yet comfortable bras and underwear, so we were excited to see its newest release: fishnets. These high-waisted tights are sustainably made with recycled nylon and fabric, and they come in three sizes.
For anyone who’s back in the office, J.Crew’s released a collection of refreshed suits, shoes, jewelry, and bags. Some of the products are brand-new, like this cropped blazer and high-waisted-shorts set, while others are available in bright new colors.
Riot Swim’s known for its “buttery-soft” swimsuits and cover-ups that feel like a “second skin,” so loungewear seems like a natural next step. The five-piece capsule includes a crop top, bike shorts, romper, jumpsuit, and maxi dress in three neutral colors: black, brown, and beige. All of it’s made with comfortable cotton-rib jersey fabric and features subtle ruching detail for a flattering effect.
Buck Mason Interloop Sweats
Buck Mason, a go-to for basics like tees and jeans, expanded its line of sweats to include an oversize crewneck sweater, zip-up hoodie, and wide-leg sweatpants. As with the other sweats, they’re all constructed from the brand’s vintage interloop fabric, a cotton French terry that feels comfy and worn-in from the first wear. There are five colors to choose from — off-white, brown, gray, black, and beige.
Statusy kids-clothing brand Hanna Andersson debuted its line of activewear today. The expansive 90-piece collection includes leggings, shorts, tanks, hoodies, dresses, and more in eye-popping colors and patterns. We especially like this Marimekko-like floral print.
Wild One Place Mat
On the pet-gear front, Wild One (which makes stylish harnesses and collars) released a new place mat for your dog’s food and water bowls today. The silicone place mat has a raised edge to keep messes contained and easily rolls up if you want to bring it on the go. It comes in two sizes — standard and small — and four colorways — green, lilac, tan, and black.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape.
