1. Irregular Sleep Pattern

Glasgow-based Irregular Sleep Pattern takes textiles to a whole new geometric level. Launched in 2020 by wife & husband team Jolene Crawford and Mil Stricevic, the duo grew tired of not finding cool bedding and sleepwear in bold patterns and fun colors that aligned with their aesthetic. Eschewing the typical nature of the fashion business which can produce excess and unnecessary waste, the pair follow their own path and add prints and products as they desire and not according to the seasonal fashion calendar. From mix and match pajamas to robes (and even eye masks), to duvet covers, sheets, and throws, Irregular Sleep Pattern will elevate not only your sleep game, but your home’s decor too.

2. Ippei Tsujio’s Bread Wrapping Paper

Japanese graphic designer Ippei Tsujio has created wrapping paper that will turn any gift into something that looks good enough to eat. The tasty trio of realistic paper comes in a baguette, loaf, and ciabatta design that’s been making the rounds on Instagram lately. And while they aren’t yet available, Tsujio states on IG that they will be selling the no-carb designs soon.

Stella McCartney’s groundbreaking Stella McCartney x Hydefy Fungi Crossbody Bag marks a bold leap forward in sustainable luxury.

With a sculptural design inspired by a horse’s back and a striking silver metallic finish, the bag shows how high fashion can embrace environmental responsibility without compromising elegance or durability. Hydefy’s cutting-edge material offers a refined, high-performance alternative to leather, ushering in a new era of eco-conscious design for luxury accessories and beyond.
