H. Moser & Cie. x Alpine Motorsports Streamliner Alpine Edition

H. Moser & Cie. and its Formula 1 Racing partner, Alpine Motorsports, created a matching pair of watches celebrating the dynamic between the sport’s drivers and mechanics. It consists of the skeletonized fly-back chronograph Streamliner Alpine Driver’s Edition and the Mechanic’s Edition, which blends a two-hand analog time dial and digital screen equipped with a GMT, a split-seconds chronograph, a perpetual calendar and a countdown. The combo can be purchased together, or the Mechanics Edition can be purchased individually.
Herman Miller Girard StoolHerman Miller

Herman Miller Girard Stool

Originally created in the late 1960s, the Girard Stool returns to showcase the patterns of its namesake designer. Alexander Girard created many celebrated textile patterns for Herman Miller in his day, including Double Triangles, Arabesque and Mexidot — all featured here. Sustainability is a key focus for the reissue, and the Girard Stool now features a recycled aluminum base and bio-based foam cushion.

The Brown Buffalo Conceal Waistpack

Designed to hug the body for easier concealment beneath a coat or jacket, this crossbody pack boasts a wide “taco shell” opening for easy access, a secure passport pocket and plenty of internal storage. This version is also crafted from UltraGrid recycled ripstop nylon that’s tough, naturally weatherproof and lightweight, alongside Challenge Sailcloth EPX400 (an ultralight, ultra-tough fabric). Whether you’re a commuter needing a speedy, discreet pack or a traveler needing convenience and security, this pack has you covered.

Snow Peak x Merrell Moab Speed 2

Merrell teamed up with Snow Peak to release a limited-edition version of its Moab Speed 2. The hiking/running shoes have been upgraded with a waterproof Gore-Tex membrane, Vibram traction lugs, and abrasion-resistant heel and toe caps — so they promise to be even more rugged than the originals. They also come in a special slate grey finish. The only real caveat is that these upgrades come at a price — they’re about $70 more expensive than Merrell’s regular Moab Speed 2.

Brompton x Tour de France P Line

Brompton gears up for the Tour de France with two limited-edition folding bikes sure to stand out on any street. While the C Line is outfitted with unmistakably yellow accents that echo the Leader’s Jersey, the P Line will really pop for hardcore fans. The two-toned green frame nods to the Sprinter’s Jersey while polka dots on the seat and tube shout out the King of the Mountains Jersey. Both bikes also feature additional TDF touches, including sublimated race-day photography printed directly onto the frame and an “Allez Allez Allez” decal that should lift you up when the pedals get heavy.
