This week’s dive into the world of launches and collaborations worth jumping on includes a Babs bag courtesy of Coach, Sandy Liang’s much-anticipated Vans collection, and an extremely sleek dog gate.
Coach x Richard Bernstein
Coach has collaborated with the famed (late) Interview magazine cover artist Richard Bernstein on a collection of bags and apparel adorned with his images of Barbra Streisand, Michael J. Fox, and Rob Lowe. The Babs bag is really good.
Sandy Liang x Vans
You read the haiku she wrote about her beloved, fleece-lined Merrell clogs. The reason designer Sandy Liang might be feeling particularly passionate about shoes is that she just launched a collaboration with Vans — much of it has sold out, but these sneakers are still available and are reminiscent of her super-popular (but very expensive) status fleece.
Keds x Kate Spade
In other footwear news, Keds’s latest line with Kate Spade, a range of seven, festive, spring-appropriate sneakers, launched a few days ago.
Drew Barrymore Blue-Light-Blocking Glasses
Drew Barrymore’s consistently delightful Walmart brand Flower has launched a line of … blue-light-blocking glasses? Despite being a bit of a head-scratcher, the range of glasses is quite nice.
Uniqlo U Spring 2020
Glossier Skywash
Glossier’s first launch of 2020 is a new matte eye shadow, and as our colleagues at the Cut put it: “If Glossier’s first shimmery eye shadow Lidstar is Beyoncé, think of Skywash as its pastel Solange.
Everlane’s Cashmere Tee
The idea of a cashmere T-shirt is a little confusing to us (sort of like a short-sleeved turtleneck or fur-lined flip-flops). However, when Everlane launched its cashmere tee in August of last year, it quickly sold out. Now, just in time for spring, it’s back.
CB2 x Jennifer Fisher
CB2s recent collaborations have been quite good. Its GQ collection was legitimately groovy, and its latest, with designer Jennifer Fisher, feels very luxe while also not taking itself too seriously. (For instance, the dog gate!) There’s also this great throw pillow and a no-spill Martini glass.
Corkcicle x Poketo
Corkcicle’s latest foray with L.A. homewares brand Poketo is a very kindercore take on terrazzo.
