For this week’s “Don’t Dillydally,” we’ve rounded up a range of newly released products we’re particularly excited about, including Baggu’s latest cartoon collaboration, shamrock glitter freckles, and affordable embroidered cashmere.
Last Thursday, Baggu dropped its highly anticipated first collaboration with the Dutch cartoon Miffy. The collection spans its standard bags, cross-body fanny pack, socks, a picnic blanket, and this very cute rendition of the popular Crescent bag.
Urban Outfitters x Lady Gaga
Another big drop last week: Lady Gaga’s latest album, Mayhem. In celebration of the release, Urban Outfitters launched an exclusive merch capsule consisting of two graphic tees, a hoodie, and a collectible double LP pressed on hot-pink vinyl.
Tecovas Denim Boots
It’s Jeans Month here at the Strategist, and, very fittingly, Tecovas (the maker of some of our favorite cowboy boots) released a denim version of its best-selling Sadie boot last week. It’s limited edition, so if you like what you see, don’t dillydally.
We’ve been longtime fans of Naadam’s affordable, high-quality cashmere sweaters, and now they come in even more options. Last Thursday, the brand released a collection of its cashmere crewnecks embroidered with adorable tiny icons of things like a bow, smiley face, martini, and croissant at a very reasonable price.
Buck Mason debuted its line of Italian leather ranging from duffel bags to sunglasses holders. We especially like this handsome card holder, which is said to develop its own unique patina over time.
Kate McLeod Bug Balm
Kate McLeod, best known for its giftable Body Stones, recently added a Bug Balm to its line of body-care products. The easy-on moisture stick is formulated with bug-repelling ingredients like citronella, geranium, and cedarwood as well as hydrating cocoa butter.
Fazit Shamrock Speckles
Something for the beauty maximalist: Fazit (the brand that makes Taylor Swift’s go-to glitter freckles) came out with green-shamrock “speckles” in time for St. Patrick’s Day. Our junior writer Bella Druckman has tried out the makeup patches herself and says they’re “easy to apply, stay on all night long, and look cute in every sparkly selfie.”
Quiet Town Prism Towels
Quiet Town continues to expand its line of nice-looking bathroom products (its shower curtains and bath mats are both Best in Class) with these new pin-striped towels. It comes in two sizes, bath and hand towels, and they’re made in Portugal with GOTS-certified organic cotton.
Pokémon Le Creusets were not on our Strategist bingo card, but, regardless, we’re delighted by the unexpected crossover. The collection includes 12 products spanning a Pokémon cocotte, mini-bowls, plates, cups, and this Poké Ball–shaped mug.
In other fun-collab news, Retrospec and the Grateful Dead teamed up for limited-edition electric bikes, beach cruisers, and inflatable stand-up paddleboards. We even spotted one of our favorite kids’ balance bikes in the lineup, so the little one can pedal and jam out in no time.
Charmspring Custom Tiles
Back in September, we wrote about Charmspring’s approachable kids’ calendars made by Away co-founder Steph Korey Goodwin and Union Square Play co-founder Jennie Monness. Now, the brand has custom tile options so you can make the interactive calendar boards even more personalized.
Honeysticks Bubble Bath
In even more kids’-product news: Honeysticks has been recommended to us before for its Bath Crayons, and its newest innovation lets little ones add colors right into bubbles and water.
