I spent the morning taking one last soak before checkout at [Pocketbook Hudson](http://Pocketbook Hudson)’s bathhouse. Then, I bought a pair of Yale Burge Parsons chairs for a fair deal at the otherwise overpriced-but-fun Antique Warehouse of Hudson. They could use a light cleaning or, at worst, re-upholstery (if you know someone good and affordable, please please please hit your reply button).
I was happy to see a few friendly names in Pocketbook’s own multi-faceted retail program: ** Colbo** and
After two days in Hudson (fly fishing! eating at Casa Susanna, go go go!), I just arrived at Bovina Fermentory for part deux of my Upstate Fall Season Opener. The next stretch of consumption will be centered on the more esoteric sciences of taste and scent—the pleasant stench of manure from our journey out of boutique upstate and into cow upstate turns the page nicely. A fragrance workshop and overall olfactory experience from ** Ffern**, a candle company that does everything its own way, including its limited seasonal release model. And sampling our way through the ferments cellar of Delaware County’s nerdiest farm project. Notes of beef stock and red wine in the air. Wood furnace burning in our private cottage kitchen. As always, though, if there’s shopping up here I should investigate, you’ll let me know.
When the clock struck midnight on November 1, we heard from Mariah Carey. This year, her Christmas commercial complex comes in the form of a
very sparkly holiday collaboration with. Named Butterfly after her 1997 album, the 40+ piece collection is made for year-round divas. There’re lots of crystals—onGuccitranslucent pink wraparound shades,sparkly slide sandals,drippy earringsand more—and an iridescent logomania pattern which the aptly-named newStarletbag was born to sport. Thehouse’s signature Flora printalso makes an appearance on silk twill tops and scarves, featuring way more butterflies than usual. Tons of things are screamingcollectors item—you’ll see them again on Neverworns Live! Shopping in the year 2047.Leonard Bernstein, you would’ve loved
Róhe’s Cruise ‘27 (we have early accesshere!). See: silkmockneck topswith built-in cummerbunds,cropped blazersthat are definitely composer-inspired, and anA-line dresswith one strap purposely twisted and askew—perfect for signalling that you’re not as straight-laced as the dress code may call for. A tulip motif is happening, accessory-wise—there’s a seemingly pointless but beautifulleather belt-slash-holster,anda single silver earringinspired by a 20th-century Dutch pin. All in all, it's a theatrical RTW collection that doesn’t exercisetoomuch restraint.Looking at
Daniella Kallmeyer’s new Net-A-Porter collection, the first thing that jumps out are emperors past. Thosedrapey topsare pretty similar to the cloaks carved into the bottom of Roman busts, right? And don’t thosebillowy champagne coatsrecall Byzantine capes? Materiality is huge for the brand, as always—and for this capsule, velvet is both the best part ofthis currently sold-out blouse, as well as the backdrop for frayed bows on theTilda jacket(perfect for a holiday party, or antique doll cosplay). Big fan ofthe metallic floral jacquard, too.Being a Scandi brand,
Totemeknows about staying warm with panache. With the first bits of itsPre-Spring ‘27—freshly available only to those who log in / make a free account—I’m actually feeling okay about winter…as long as it comes witha shearling-collared coat like this one, or maybe evena fluffy ecru bomber. For footwear, the brand is betting on patent leather with its new iteration of theBar bootsand theseTuxedo loafers. Speaking of, thisMidsommar riff on the tuxedo shirtimmediately caught my eye—definitely into reinventing the wheel, bib-wise!One look at
Proenza Schouler’s Pre-Spring 2027collection and we have to ask: Is the peplum pendulum swinging back? The jackets—Dashadefinitely, andDarato an extent—are both structured with a flared waist, and theMargot topis almost rubbing it in our faces. The collection also experiments with leather (theTrap over-the-knee bootshave me mesmerized), pleating on theRinaandOlympiadresses, andtons of PS1 variations.Métieris known for its attention to detail—I close my eyes and picture itsBespokeatelier operating similarly to a room of artists assembling model ships inside glass bottles. Each made-to-order item is one-of-a-kind, and crafted from woven lambskin leather. Now available to be bespoke-ified is the British company’sNomadAll Day bag—a.k.a the perfect weekender duffel.Denial is a river in Egypt—it’s time to get out your sweaters, or buy some new ones.
Uniqloand’s new knitwear capsule collection takes Italian prep and runs with it. FromF.Rissoknit polostostriped beanies, everything is under $50.J. Crewjust released anotherRollneck—its OG wool version, that is. And quality-wise,Filson’s handmade sweaters are pretty tough to beat. Thiswaffle merinohas a great cost-per-wear.The campaign for
Tigra Tigra’s tropical-themedCollection 19may look like it was shot on a trail cam… but the clothes themselves are all unadulterated occasionwear. Styling this gorgeous Mashroo silkdresswith teal tights is genius—and come spring, the hottest girl at the party will be wearingthis hand-beaded beltover TT’s newAqua skirt-shirtset. There’s alsoa raw-silk-and-sequined laptop casedripping with beads, if you’re into that sort of thing (the 21st century minaudière, maybe?).Did
Cecilie Bahnsenhear us when we published our backpack screed last week? For itsfourth collaboration with the, the Copenhagen-based brand launched a midnight blueNorth Facedrawstring satchel, alongside afanny packadorned with tassels,hiking bootslaced with floral hardware, and more girly gorp pieces. Betting thatthese water-repellant onyx muleswill sell out soon, too.There’s also: The option to flexHermèsfor the weekend withRent the Runway’s newluxury bag offering;Comme Si’s getting more spiffy with the launch of its new Tuxedo shirt;Eckhaus Lattaoffers itsBucket bag in a dusty suede; in terms of grown-up Twinkle Toes, there arethese sparkly high vamp balletsfromJamie Haller,orGimaguas’s sequinedBailarinas; andBettterfinishes strong (it’s bowing out of apparel and becoming a tech platform) with itsdrop 18.
Edie Parker’s new bejeweledHeirloomtabletop collection, or Fabergé for the modern smoker, is here. Clever design is the throughline between these smoking objects, from the ovoidCig holderto thistable lighterwith a built-in incense tray. There’s also the newSolitaireline for the Marlboro-wielding girl-on-the-go: thesleek lipstick lightersandcig casescome in three different metal colorways.Gardenheir’s November Collectionappeals to everyone, but those who swear they’d thrive on a French farmstead immediately come to mind (their LARP can commence withthis field coat). For those who actually do care about dirt and plants,theNiwakisecateursare a gardener’s holy grail. And no matter their urban-or-rural affiliation, I personally know a lot of guys who would be intothis set of wooden bird calls.Nordic Knotsjust launched itsAvenue Collectionof wool-and-nylon carpets, designed specifically for high-traffic areas (or shoes-on households). The seven colorways prove that performance fabrics can still be pretty—and the wall-to-wall version is also over $1,000 less than its100% wool counterpart.There’s also:launches a very Axel Vervoordt-informed series of furniture and lights;Claude HomeBoll & BranchxInslee Fariss’s collaboffers the option to wake up beside cute holiday embroidery; the standout fromLES’s new Terra collectionare theGiacometti-likecandle holders; andApartamentowill publish the first English translation ofEttore Sottsass’s posthumous memoir,.Written at Night
