This roundup of things we liked this week originally appeared in the November 21, 2024 edition of the Secret Strategist newsletter, a weekly email where we share the stuff our staff — plus a rotating cast of writers, design-world people, and various others with very good taste — would otherwise keep to themselves. If you want to get our picks straight to your inbox each week, sign up here.
There’s a sample sale at a store we like, Tangerine, this weekend (616 Lorimer St.). There will be COA (we’re fans of this bag), Priscavera, Nomia, and Nu Swim (we’re fans of, oddly, its great sweaters) on sale. —Katy Schneider and Simone Kitchens
This Week’s List
* Other sale-slash-shop news: No.6 is having one, from Tuesday, November 26, through Tuesday, December 3: 20 percent off sitewide. Grab a cardigan, grab some clogs, grab some B Sides.
* And there’s an Autumn Sonata (we’re fond of its hand towels) and Bomi (cutlery conch!) pop-up happening this weekend at Bomi’s Soho store (54 Mercer St.). There’ll apparently be robes, toiletry bags, shower curtains, and kaftans!
* New pendant lamp on the scene, from Lichen, made by Onea Engel-Bradley (whose unisex jeans we’ve written about), Aidan Elias (whose tables we’re fans of), and Alvaro Ucha Rodriguez (who makes nice sconces).
* Sarah Hochman, a book editor and someone with very good taste, has an online shop of rare books that would make very good gifts.
* Searching for corner benches to fill a tricky breakfast nook. Not a lot of good-looking ones out there, but this very expensive Pierre Chapo is great. Also nice: these Danish guys.
