Teenage Engineering x Vāssla EPA-1

Teenage Engineering is best known for its stylized, minimalist tech — especially synths and other electronic instruments. But the brand is taking a hard left into new territory with an electric scooter. Crafted in collaboration with Vāssla, this scooter looks … pretty much exactly what one would expect from a Teenage Engineering two-wheeler, which is a very good thing. But the minimalist styling is also paired with up to 62 miles of range per charge, speeds of up to 28 mph, a ton of customization options and more.

Nestout Outdoor Charging Cable

For all the fancy charging cables out there, precious few are optimized for outdoor usage. Nestout jumps into that niche with this robust option, featuring waterproof caps, integrated hooks, a scratch-resistant Tetoron braided jacket and reinforced strain relief to protect the plug from bending. IP54 rated for water and dust resistance, this cable is available in two lengths (3.3 feet and 6.6 feet) and both USB-C to USB-C (shown) and USB-A to USB-C options.
Porsche

Porsche x Ferragamo 911 Carrera 4 GTS and Taycan 4S

Crafted to commemorate Porsche Italia’s 40th anniversary, the limited-run  911 Carrera 4 GTS and Taycan 4S “Ferragamo Editions” blend Italian sprezzatura and craftsmanship with German engineering precision. Co‑developed by Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur and Ferragamo in a cross‑border creative exchange, both models feature an exclusive Blusogno blue exterior with delicate hand‑painted white pinstripes and bespoke commemorative badging. Inside, cabins are swathed in matching Blusogno leather, accented with blue‑dyed Paldao wood and sport‑chrono dials echoing the Italian tricolour. Only 52 versions will be sold exclusively in Italy, making these striking bespoke machines instant collector’s items that’ll pair nicely with any Lake Como estate.

Dagne & Dover Bennie Day Sling

Dagne & Dover’s bags already boasted uniquely minimalist styling with interesting, durable neoprene exteriors. However, this crossbody bag steps things up a level. It’s still made from tough, weatherproof neoprene, but this version is far lighter without sacrificing any of its durability or resistance. It’s also available in five distinct colors, including olive green and black, and has plenty of internal organization for all your EDC gear.

Garmin Venu X1

The Garmin Venu X1 is a smartwatch that looks set to rival the Apple Watch Ultra 2. It is the brand’s first smartwatch to have a square shape similar to Apple’s premium model. It also boasts the biggest display and thinnest body of any Garmin smartwatch to date. As far as the feature set, the Venu X1 is quite similar to Garmin’s Fenix 8 or Forerunner 970, although its 2-day battery life (with the always-on display turned on) falls short compared to those other Garmin models. It’s available in two finishes, black or dark green.
