Been traveling a lot this month. And travel has a way of resetting your eye. Different cities, different shops, different ways people live life. It all adds up. We’ve found ourselves thinking less about quantity and more about intention. What we wear. What we carry. What we bring back into our spaces. This month’s Black Book is a reflection of that mindset. Pieces collected along the way, pieces that feel like memories, each one earning the space it takes up.
Sterling Pacific Carry-On
There’s luggage, and then there’s luggage that feels like it belongs in a different era entirely. Sterling Pacific’s carry-on somehow feels both yesteryear and the future. It's built like a vault. Riveted corners, metal shell, the kind of durability that suggests it’ll outlast whatever you throw at it. It’s unapologetically substantial, in the best way. The kind of piece that makes you want to book a trip just to use it.

House of Earth Homemade Stool
Part sculpture, part functional object, this piece from House of .earth sits right in that sweet spot between art and utility. It’s minimal without feeling cold, organic without trying too hard. The kind of object that quietly anchors a room and makes everything around it look more considered.

Rhodia Script Ballpoint Pen
Some tools make you slow down in the best way. The Rhodia Script pen is one of them. Balanced weight, clean lines, and just enough resistance on the page to remind you that writing by hand still matters. It turns even a grocery list into something that feels… deliberate.
Buy: $880
Ribbon Side Table (Sight Unseen)
Furniture doesn’t always need to shout to stand out. This ribbon-inspired side table manages to feel playful and refined at the same time, with soft curves that catch light differently throughout the day. It’s a conversation piece. But one you won’t get tired of having.
Buy: $8000
Lululemon Engineered Knit Mesh Tennis Jacket
Call it tennis-inspired or just smart design. Either way, this is how you do a lightweight layer right. Breathable, structured, and just technical enough without looking like you’re headed to a match. It’s the jacket you throw on all spring.
Buy: $198
Grace Atkinson “September Folded”
There’s something mesmerizing about this piece. The folds create movement without actually moving, catching shadow and light in a way that changes depending on where you’re standing. It’s restrained, but never boring. A rare balance.
Buy: $2537
Guillaume Kashima Terracotta Vase No. 10
Handmade, imperfect in all the right ways, and exactly the kind of object that makes fresh flowers feel optional. Kashima’s terracotta work carries a warmth that’s hard to replicate. Earthy, tactile, and deeply human. It doesn’t just hold something. It is something.
Buy: $554
Hyperice Hypervolt 3 Massage Gun
Recovery, but make it refined. The Hypervolt 3 is quieter, sleeker, and more powerful than it needs to be. And that’s exactly the point. Whether it’s post-workout or just post-sitting-too-long, this is the kind of tool that earns a permanent spot in your weekly routine.
Buy: $249
Foyer “Chemise du Palais” Shirt
This is what happens when a shirt leans all the way into its point of view. Slightly romantic, unmistakably European, and cut with intention. It’s not trying to be your everyday button-down. And that’s precisely why you’ll reach for it more often than not.
Buy: $416
Billy Reid Waxed Suede Tupelo Trucker Jacket
Billy Reid doesn’t miss often, and this is a reminder why. Waxed suede gives the classic trucker silhouette a richness that breaks in beautifully over time. It’s rugged without feeling heavy, polished without feeling precious. The kind of jacket that gets better every season you own it.
Buy: $1098
