For this week’s “Don’t Dillydally,” we’ve uncovered new launches from lots of Strategist favorites, including floral Baggus, cheery button-ups, and new tiny Tate’s flavors.
West Elm’s latest collaboration with interior designer Billy Cotton is a minimalist’s dream, complete with 25 monochromatic homeware pieces. Update your tablescape with this set of stainless-steel pepper mills, which is much sleeker than the standard sets.
More on the minimalist-interiors front: Swiss furniture brand USM partnered with audio-furniture and lifestyle brand Symbol on a capsule collection of modular systems for housing speakers, amps, turntables, and records. As with the rest of USM’s systems, each piece is made with powder-coated steel panels and chromed steel frames.
New Brooklinen Organic Collection colorways
In case your bedroom sheets need a refresh, Brooklinen added two new spring forward colorways to its Organic Collection last Friday. Its sheets, duvet covers, and pillowcases are now available in a pretty mauve shade and its quilts and shams in an earthy green.
The second drop of Warby Parker’s Spring 2024 collection was released yesterday, spanning from metal frames to oversize specs. We especially like the new Jeanette style, an oval-shaped mod-looking pair of sunnies.
Baggu’s newest partnership with Keith Haring’s estate is exclusively available at the MoMA Design Store. It features his iconic designs (including “Dancing Daisy,” where the stick figures have flowers for heads) on the brand’s popular nylon totes, laptop sleeves, packing pouches, and more.
New Jot instant coffee
Jot’s highly concentrated instant coffee first came on our radars back in 2020 when former Strategist writer Chloe Anello said they had replaced her coffee shop lattes. Yesterday, the brand added a nutty chocolate-hazelnut flavor to its lineup. Like the rest of its instant coffees, it can be enjoyed both warm and cold.
New Tate’s cookies
If you’re of the camp that Tate’s are the only store-bought cookies worth getting, we have good news for you. The company introduced four new products — Tiny Tate’s Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle in 5.5-ounce resealable bags and Salted Caramel Chocolate Chip and Snickerdoodle — to its permanent line.
Regular Strategist readers know that Hoka makes some of our favorite shoes for walking, running, and recovering comfortably. Last Friday, the brand released the Mach 6, the latest iteration of its Mach running shoe. It’s said to be the most lightweight, responsive version of Mach with an upgraded midsole, a single layer SCF EVA for a responsive ride, and added strategic rubber outsole coverage for durability and traction.
Adidas and Brazilian brand Farm Rio are commemorating a decade of collaborations with a Spring/Summer ’24 collection of bright leggings, sport bras, shorts, track pants, swimwear, dresses, and more. This cheery button-up would work well as a cover-up on upcoming beach days or with cutoffs on picnic hangs.
Workwear turned streetwear brand Dickie’s now has a premium line featuring its classic silhouettes made out of high-end materials. The second drop of the collection came out yesterday, including floral-patterned painter pants, work shirts with tonal stitching, 100 percent tees and button-ups, and more.
The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments, rolling luggage, pillows for side sleepers, natural anxiety remedies, and bath towels. We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
