The Fujifilm Instax camera has long had our admiration, save for one minor critique: the design.

Featuring a sleek, minimalistic retro design and enhanced photo technology, we’re excited about how great this Instax looks while capturing precious moments.

Your commute deserves a backpack that excels in all areas, and the Stubble & Co Roll Top pack is precisely that.
With a capacity of 30 liters, it provides ample space, featuring a compartment for a 16-inch laptop, an organizer pocket, and a vital luggage strap, making it ideal for longer commutes. Its comfortable shoulder straps and optional waist strap add versatility for both cycling and walking.
The rugged, waterproof exterior ensures your belongings are safe and dry, designed with the modern traveler in mind, including elasticated bottle pockets, reflective trim for safety, and a structured base for easy packing.
Peak Performance Helium Utility Down Hood Jacket
This transitional jacket from Peak Performance is a favorite of ours.
Designed for low- to medium-intensity activities—think skiing, hiking, or everyday wear—it excels on those unpredictable spring days when evening temperatures drop unexpectedly.
Part of the popular Helium range, the Utility Down Jacket is lightweight, easily packable, and constructed with wind- and water-repellent insulation, showcasing contrasting zippers and detailing.
Introducing: Heimplanet
Let’s be honest—camping gear often lacks aesthetic appeal. While technical fabrics serve their purpose, most tents appear rather unremarkable. Heimplanet is the notable exception.
The pioneers of the world’s first inflatable tent, this German brand is revered by outdoor enthusiasts for their geodesic tents, which combine speedy setup with robust protection against the elements. Beyond functionality, these tents are stylish and innovative.
It’s no surprise they’ve collaborated with renowned brands like Maharishi.
D.S. & Durga Pistachio
Pistachios are trending, and D.S. & Durga has brought back their limited-edition Pistachio fragrance by popular demand.
Originally limited to just 100 bottles, this cult favorite is now available in 50ml, 100ml, and pocket-sized options. Infused with notes of pistachio, cardamom, vanilla crème, and patchouli, D.S. & Durga describes it as “dank and unabashedly sweet,” providing a delightful contrast to their typical offerings.
A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban Collection
Fresh from a court case that sometimes felt like a fashion runway, A$AP Rocky is back with a striking new collaboration with eyewear legend, Ray-Ban.
This collection reinterprets classic frames through Rocky’s creative vision, featuring black-on-black options, elegant gold accents, and a bold attitude.
The iconic Wayfarer style receives a dramatic update, complete with ultra-dark lenses and subtle “tattoo” branding on the temple tips—paying homage to Rocky’s personal tattoos while reinvigorating familiar silhouettes.

Dab Motors 1aX Electric Scrambler
The evolution of electric motorcycles continues to intrigue us, and Peugeot-backed DAB is making impressive strides.
Introducing a new Scrambler variant of their production model, the 1aX Electric Scrambler is a durable off-roader that’s equally versatile for urban settings.
With a total range of 150km, 395nm of torque, and weighing in at 125kg, this bike features six drive modes, Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tires, and a front fender constructed from upcycled Airbus carbon.
Stateless Banana Whiskey 70cl
In the realm of beverages, we’re excited to introduce something a bit unexpected. We enjoy flavored spirits, especially in warmer months, with île Four’s Yuzu sake and Tanqueray’s Seville orange gin standing out as refreshing choices.
This month, however, we were surprised by Stateless Banana Whiskey— a slightly sweet yet spirited option for a Manhattan. To mix this playful twist on a classic, simply combine 30ml of sweet vermouth and 60ml of Stateless with a splash of bitters in an ice-filled mixing glass.
