Tecovas Bartlett Large Weekender

One of the best classic leather weekender bags comes from a boot company. The Bartlett Large Weekender from Tecvoas looks more luxurious than ever in the new Midnight Green, while still costing well under $1,000. It is fully lined with 10-ounce duck canvas and uses solid brass hardware, including a two-way zipper. There are two exterior slip pockets and a removable leather shoulder strap. Tecovas also offers a matching leather Midnight Green dopp kit.
Civivi GuileCivivi

Civivi Guile

Few brands do affordable workhorse folders quite like Civivi. The brand is back at it again with the Guile, a slender, discreet, hard-working, dual-deployment EDC knife designed by actor Shawn Ashmore (Iceman in Fox’s X-Men movies). This discreet flipper is ideal for pocket carry with its lightweight, ergonomic G10 handle and versatile 14C28N wharncliffe blade. And even though it won’t empty your bank account, you can still expect to rely on it for years.

Lego Bugatti Centodieci

Lego and Bugatti have partnered for a Speed Champions building set based on the Centodieci hypercar. Even with just 291 pieces in total, the kit recreates several iconic design elements, such as the sets of five circular air intakes located on each side of the car, the Bugatti horseshoe grille, the angled headlights and the quad exhaust. Bugatti built just 10 full-size Centodiecis, but this Lego is far more accessible at $26.99.

Titaner Modular Titanium Cooking System

The mad engineers over at Titaner keep finding innovative new uses for titanium. Building on the success of the surprise hit Oven Tray, their latest Kickstarter project consists of four titanium trays designed to go straight from the oven to the table. Nesting into each other for easy storage, the trays are lightweight, coating-free, rust-proof, heat-resistant and dishwasher safe. What’s really compelling is the efficiency: you lose no time, texture or flavor transferring foods from baking trays to cold ceramic plates and you cut down on the number of dirty dishes to deal with when the meal is done.
