You know what's cooler than a simple canvas tote? A sharp-looking one cut from buttery tan suede. Adsum's bag is made entirely from leather—hand-sewn in Chicago with double stitched side seams and a triple folded hem for ultimate durability. It's handsome enough to use as a work bag but rugged enough to be your weekend carry-all.

Some T-shirts are just fine, others are good and a few are simply great. This is a great one. Alex Mill partnered with Green Matters Natural Dye Company on a collection of uniform staples. And this classic pocket tee is one of the standouts from the line. It was hand-dyed with GOTS-certified organic plant-based indigo (meaning no two are exactly alike). It also means that it will continue to wear and lighten the more you wear it.

This table looks way more expensive than it really is. And we really appreciate that. The clean lines of this aluminum table, designed by Alvaro Ucha-Rodriguez exclusively for Lichen, give it a look that's at once retro and incredibly right now. At this price, you could easily shell out for two and flank your sofa or repurpose them as low-slung nightstands.

This is the SodaStream's handsome younger brother. AWA's sleek Carbonator makes fresh sparkling water with a crisp fizz at the touch of a button. The brand's mission was to create a machine for sparkling water lovers who are looking for a minimalistic design without the hassle. We'd say they succeeded. What's more, you can control the level of carbonation within the sleek glass bottles for your perfect seltzer style.

What makes a good summer sandal? It's comfortable, cool and goes with anything in your warm weather wardrobe. This sandal from Brandblack fits the bill. Crafted from soft pebbled leather, with a contoured footbed and light arch support, there's a lot to like about the fit and feel. It comes in a range of colors, but this grey-ish faded green version is a versatile shade that we can't get enough of these days.
