Away Aluminum Edition Carry-On
1

We're big fans of Away luggage.The clever compression pad (which can cram a week's worth of clothing into a small carry-on) and the built-in battery (that will juice up your phone or tablet up to five times on a single charge) are reasons enough to buy it. But now it comes in a handsome aluminum option complete with leather-trimmed handles and twin lock closures. All for less than half of a Rimowa.

Faherty Route 80 Jacket
2

Consider this a cooler alternative to the standard denim jacket—literally. Faherty's new version is made with a lightweight and breathable cotton dobby fabric that gives the jacket a worn-in, textured appearance. Garment dyed with natural indigo for a vintage look and feel, it will wear and fade like your favorite jeans.

Clarks x Bedwin & The Heartbreakers Desert Boots
3

Bedwin & The Heartbreakers is known for drawing influences from Americana of the 1920s and 1930s and is known as being one of the first brands in Japan to combine streetwear and tailored menswear. So their new collaboration with Clarks makes perfect sense. They take the classic desert boot and tweak it ever so slightly. The uppers are cut from Artemide Aqua Wash leather rawhide made from a plump and heavyweight Italian leather and finished with an all jersey lining. Of course, the signature crepe outsole remains. Because some things can't get better.

CB2 Hinoki and Eucalyptus Candle

This candle not only looks good, it smells good and does some good too. High-quality aromatics, including essential oils of cypress wood, tea tree and eucalyptus are blended with natural soy wax and poured into a sleek black ceramic container with a matching lid. It was created in collaboration with Bright Endeavors, a Chicago non-profit that funds job training programs for young moms looking to build a successful future for themselves and their kids.
