February 14, 2022 – Cold Picnic released their Dessert Collection in February and the abstract collection was a nostalgic homage to sweet delicacies. Each piece was inspired by and named after Taiwanese and English desserts like mochi, taro, sherbert, and more. The welcoming designs were the first from the brand to be produced in delicate Bamboo silk yarn.

February 22, 2022 – Multi-disciplinary designer and artist Sarah Sherman Samuel teamed up with Lulu and Georgia (again!) for an equally enviable collection of rugs, pillows, and wallpaper early in the year. This checkerboard wallpaper was a particular standout to us, thanks to its surprisingly neutral and quirky feel (and it’s even available at a discount right now!).

March 17, 2022 – You can still add a touch of whimsy to your bathroom with this darling collab from Chairish and the textile gurus at Kassatex. Inspired by the beautifully ornate, colorful, and one-of-a-kind products found on Chairish, each scalloped edge towel is especially perfect for anyone looking to create an unexpected cottagecore moment while washing up.

May 4, 2022 – AD100 designer Jake Arnold unveiled his highly anticipated collaboration with Parachute in May, and we were obsessed with everything from the dreamy bedding to chic throw pillows. In fact, this breezy linen robe is another standout that’s still available for purchase.
