You might not know it, but you need this bag. Small, sturdy and stylish as hell, it's a great way to organize everything from pens to charging cables and easily works as a dopp kit too. Topo Designs makes them in a range of colors, but this classic canvas one has a sophisticated tonal appeal.

This isn't your average Oxford cloth button-down. Look a little closer and you'll notice the Western-style yoke on the front shoulders and along the back of the shirt. It's a quiet but unique detail—one that's becoming something of a signature for Noah's brand these days. But it's selling quickly. So if you like it, you'd better move fast.

You don't have to smoke to appreciate a good ashtray. Despite smoking's inherent danger, ashtrays themselves remain pretty cool among lovers of design. Perhaps it's because they're tied to this verboten behavior—it gives these little receptacles an air of danger. This oversized circular tray features a vintage-inspired dimple pattern for a modern take on a classic piece. Handmade in Turkey from pure, lead-free crystalline glass, it's a solid piece that will also work nicely as a coffee table trinket or entry table catch-all.

If you haven't embraced the pearl necklace trend yet, this might be your gateway accessory.

This looks like the paper cup they give you at the Barbour cafe. The bad news is that there isn't really a Barbour cafe. But the good news is that this is actually a durable reusable cup for the cost of a latte in the city. The travel tumbler is printed with the same iconic tartan featured on the lining of your favorite Barbour jacket. It's actually made from a sustainable bamboo-blend resin and finished with a navy silicone lid and sleeve to keep your hand comfortable while you sip.
