Shake Shack and Bearaby’s Delicious Decor, Jewels From The Met + Catbird, and Other Modern Products We Loved in July

Welcome to another edition of the Drop List, where we, self-proclaimed shopping obsessives, give you the lowdown on the most highly anticipated up-to-date products and intriguing launches of the past month. We hope you’ll think of this as a one-stop shop to discover your up-to-date favorite brand, an emerging designer, or a fun collaboration straight out of the gate. (And if you’re craving even more Clever content, don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter.)

If your gallery wall needs a major update (or you’re looking to finally upgrade that tired Matisse print from Amazon), Quince is here to assist. While the brand’s bedding, towels, and cashmere hold top spots in several of our roundups and gift guides, their venture into wall art has us swooning. We’re particularly fond of this mixed-media print inspired by Halley’s Comet from Rhode Island–based artist Sarah Short.

Work from home will feel a lot more luxurious with the newest office chair from Haworth. Ergonomically designed with a breathable mesh back, the Breck chair uses geometric stretch technology to give its user flexibility and support for long work calls and behind schedule nights in front of a computer screen. It’s also available in six seat color options and two base color options for a customized look.

Next on our list of up-to-date products for July, Shake Shack and Bearaby are giving a whole up-to-date meaning to ‘couch potato.’ In July, the two brands celebrated National French Fry Day (yes, it’s a thing) by launching a very whimsical crinkle cut weighted pillow. Functioning as a brief body pillow for side sleepers, a support pillow for back sleeping, or a brilliant accent pillow for the sofa, this delicious piece of decor is endlessly versatile (and gives us major Bikini Bottom vibes).

Hermès also released quite possibly the most luxurious bath upgrades recently and we think they’d make the perfect housewarming gift for your very bougie friend. The reintroduction of their bath and body collection, Le Bain, features up-to-date, summery scents that will turn your washroom into a spa-like oasis. We like the sound of d’Orange Verte, which is described as a citrus scent with added wood and mint notes.

Catbird launched their second collection with The Metropolitan Museum of Art, spanning five fine jewelry pieces inspired by the Costume Institute’s spring 2024 exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” While each design is a standout in its own right, the iconic museum pin shrunken and reimagined in recycled gold is at the top of our wishlist.

AAPI-owned furniture design studio Sun at Six launched three up-to-date summer colorways of its Risebook Stand Display and it’s the perfect accent piece to house your extra coffee table books or favorite magazines. Now available in a striking azure blue, viridian green, and classic black, the versatile design and colorways are a functional way to add some color to your space.

Ending your showers and baths wrapped in one of Buffy’s up-to-date Turkish cotton towels will feel like a real treat after a long day. The premium towels are made from 100% organic Turkish cotton, ultra plush, highly absorbent, and speedy drying. They’re available in six signature Buffy colors, including lavender, navy, cloud, and more.

The Citizenry, who makes some of our favorite cooling linen sheets, just launched its latest bedding innovation—stonewashed percale sheets crafted in India from certified organic and nontoxic materials. The collection consists of six neutral hues designed to pair perfectly with The Citizenry’s other furniture and gentle good offerings.

Polène’s latest mixed-material jewels will breathe up-to-date life into your collection. Combining glass and 24-carat gold-plated brass, the Nae collection draws design inspiration from the natural flow of water to catch delicate in an intriguing way when worn. As for the two-tone hoops below, they’re the newest extension of the brand’s beloved Eroz collection, fusing palladium blended with 24-karat gold to appeal to those who love both gold and silver.
