Summer Loving
Summer is the season of life’s richest delights, sun on salty skin, cold plunges that leave you breathless and smiling from ear to ear, long drives through verdant hills and along sparkling coastlines, windows down and music turned up. Below we’ve gathered a few of our favorite ways to savor the abundant pleasures of the season, wherever it takes you.
Summer Sounds
A soundtrack for easy days and summer wanders. Listen Now.
First Dip Essentials
A curation of necessities we’ll be keeping in our beach bags all season long.
Autumn Sonata Pool Towels
We adore these pool towels whose prints are based on vintage textiles. The perfect addition to any pool or beachside day.
Nuxe Sun Oil
Scented with “flowers of the sea and land,” this gilded sun oil—which doubles as a perfume— transports us instantly to sunkissed days by the water.
Lesse Sunscreen
A beautifully-packaged, all-natural mineral sunscreen to protect you from the strongest midday rays. It blends in seamlessly with any skin tone, leaving no white cast.
Beach Reads
All-consuming stories that transport us to far-flung destinations.
Foster, Claire Keegan
A meditative, contemplative and, at turns, heartbreaking Summer idyll that will leave you with a warm sense of nostalgia and a deep appreciation for those we care for and those who care for us in childhood and beyond.
Last Summer in the City
A cinematic and captivating novel that was only very recently translated into English, Last Summer in the City follows the summer adventures and misadventures of a true bon-vivant whose aimless wanderings take him all over Rome and beyond.
Play it as it Lays
An absorbing and thrilling novel by one of our eternal favorite authors, Joan Didion.
The Land Where Lemons Grow
The story of citrus in Italy through the ages, a fascinating account for lovers of plants and food.
On the Go
Our must-haves for any day or weekend trip.
K-Jacques Sandals
Our longtime favorite sandals are made by a small family-owned operation based in Saint Tropez called K Jacques—and this year we were lucky enough to collaborate with them to create our very own offering of sandals. The perfect, wear-anywhere shoe for Summer wanders of all sorts.
Grand Mathilde Tote
A timeless staple from our Summer collection, now in a cheery gingham—it’s large enough to use as a weekend bag, or to carry all the makings of a perfect beach day.
Vintage Backgammon Set
A classic, perfectly portable game. Vintage sets are particularly well-made and beautiful—we recommend searching Etsy or Ebay for yours.
