Two Cult Brands Collide On an Everyday Tote Packed with Workhorse Utility

The beloved Vermont-based cycling brand and the upstart British Columbia-based bag maker have partnered again, this time freshening up a workhorse everyday tote to match the former’s spring/summer collection. Available in bronze and green colorways and offering 30 liters of space for various bike-related accessories, the rugged hauler boasts RUX’s classic structured self-standing silhouette, zipper-free 100 percent waterproof welded construction, rolltop coverage for full weather protection and compatibility with RUX’s ever-growing gear storage ecosystem.

Swedish designer Love Hulten makes some of the most stunning, quirky pieces of modern-contemporary-inspired tech you can find, including (but not limited to) synthesizers, video game consoles and more. This vinyl record player is another in that long-running line of exceptional projects. On top of it being a complete all-in-one system (with speakers built into the base), it’s also fully functional and not just for looks. That crane, for instance, actually moves the stylus and tone arm into place. Unfortunately, this was a one-off commission, but the designer is always open to more projects and offers some other things for sale.

The Zen Air Blue 2 is a refreshed version of the company’s original entry-level Bluetooth receiver, which was released in 2022. This second-generation model looks and works just like before, adding Bluetooth streaming capabilities to older hi-fi systems. But it features a new DAC and chipset that enables it to support higher-quality Bluetooth codecs, including aptX Lossless and LDAC. Plus, it adds 5-12V compatibility, so you can hook it up to your old car’s stereo system and stream audio over Bluetooth.

Vanguart partners with retailer Material Good for this special take on the former’s Orb flying tourbillon watch. The watch’s organic, flowing 41mm case is executed in microblasted titanium with polished bevels and features inserts of a specially developed pink ceramic. The hard-wearing material took Vanguart over a year to develop and is based on Material Good’s original color palette. Its soft finishing also requires specialized bespoke tools to accomplish. The watch’s dial-side rotor, in pink ceramic, contains a round diamond and can be adjusted between manual and automatic winding via the crown. In automatic mode, the diamond spins freely around the dial, while in manual mode, you can lock it into place wherever you like. The Vanguart Orb Pink Ceramic is mounted on a matching pink rubber strap, and just 25 pieces of the watch will be produced, exclusively for Material Good. Price is available upon request.

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup, Levi’s and the U.S. Soccer team have collaborated on a limited-edition collection that spans apparel and accessories, including this understated, classically-styled tote. The 100-percent cotton, medium-wash tote features a no-nonsense, roomy interior, a washed, vintage look and is finished with an embroidered U.S. soccer logo, which nods to the history of one of the most beloved teams in football.

Back by popular demand, this short-sleeve button-down shirt is made from a fabric dyed to mimic an uneven patchwork of traditional Japanese embroidery scraps. The 5.4-ounce 100-percent cotton fabric has a loose weave that creates a vintage texture and is exceptionally breathable. It comes in indigo blue, dark blue, faded reds and greens and a multi-color motif.

Bugatti’s W16 Mistral ‘Fly Bug’ arrives as the fourth in a series of insect-inspired builds, with the preceding three commissions being the Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse ‘Hellbug,’ the Chiron ‘Hellbee’, and the Divo ‘Lady Bug.’ Like its stablemates, then, the car carries a distinctive insect motif throughout its appearance, painted in an iridescent Dragonfly Blue and adorned with a striking gradient spot pattern. Such changes come courtesy of the Sur Mesure program, and you’ll find Bugatti’s typical engineering might beneath the handsome visuals. With power coming from a mammoth 8.0-liter quad turbo W16, it’s rated at a thundering 1,578 horsepower.
