Welcome to In Our Carts, a new monthly series in which I’ll be rounding up my and other editors’ favorite new product launches. They’re taken straight from our #editors-picks Slack channel, where our team drops the many press releases that fill our in-boxes. I sort through them for the best of the best. That way, you can read just about the good stuff—nothing more and nothing less.
IKEA Dropped the Cutest Cabana Striped Bag
IKEA’s iconic blue Fraka bag doesn’t need an introduction, but hiding in the retailer’s New Arrivals section is a cabana striped carrier that’s seriously exciting our editors. Better suited for a trip to the grocery store than, say, three weeks’ worth of dirty laundry, it’s a smaller scale at 18 inches wide and 11 inches tall. We also couldn’t help but notice the taller checker-print version. Did we mention they start at $2?
H&M Home Released a Kid’s Shelf That We Want for Ourselves
This wall shelf may technically be for kids, but we’re imaging it in our bathroom, above our desk, in our kitchen, and by the front door. The wavy iron brackets come in red and blue, adding a playful, modern twist to standard wood. We don’t know which color we’d pick, but we do know it’s giving major Scandinavian loft energy.
Lulu and Georgia Collaborated With Sarah Sherman Samuel on an Outdoor Collection
Everything Sarah Sherman Samuel touches turns to gold, and that’s especially true of her fresh outdoor collection for Lulu and Georgia. It’s filled with wicker, iron, and fresh white upholstery that would fit right into the courtyard of a charming château. The star of the show is this wicker chair, which seems far too stylish to be outdoor furniture.
DWR Released a Showstopping Outdoor Lounge Chair
It may still feel like we’re in the thick of winter, but there are more outdoor furniture launches trickling in—a true glimmer of hope. This sunny DWR lounge chair, designed by the company’s in-house team, is bringing ’80s vibes in the best way. It’s made of durable steel, and you can buy a seat cushion for it in Sunbrella fabric.
Schoolhouse Dropped a Lamp That Looks Like a Vintage Score
Is it just us, or does Schoolhouse just keep getting better? This lamp looks like it could be sitting on a shelf at Brimfield, but it’s brand-new and you can choose from six colorways. From persimmon to a gray-green, the powder-coated steel base is topped with opal glass that creates a soft and even glow.
Aarke Made a Water Purifier
Domino’s deputy editor, Julie Vadnal, won’t stop talking about her new Aarke water purifier, and for good reason. It’s pretty enough to leave on the table—because, really, who has time to decant water into a pitcher—and every piece is dishwasher-safe. Plus it’s plastic-free, and instead of buying new filters, you just buy granules for the metal cartridge.
Pooky Launched in the U.S.
If cottagecore is your thing, then you need to know about U.K. brand Pooky Lighting. The traditional-style lamps are now available Stateside. That means this precious cordless design can be yours. The brand’s lampshade assortment alone is something to write home about, offering marbled paper and ikat silk à la carte.
Edie Parker Is Serving a Jell-O Lighter
With an Edie Parker jelly lighter on your coffee table, dessert is served daily. It’s entirely unnecessary, yet we’re starting to feel like we can’t live without it. While they’re selling fast, the strawberry and orange colors (or, shall we say, flavors) are still in stock.
