It’s time to bid farewell to your Ikea lampshades, your Wayfair curtains, and your West Elm pillows. Thanks to young designer Louisa Tratalos, there’s an alternative to the mass-produced and personality-deficient aesthetic dragging down interior design. Located on Hackney Road in East London, Colours of Arley specializes in stripes. Everything is customizable, bespoke, and handmade in a family workshop in a small Cheshire village to limit waste. To create your dream accent piece, simply pick any two colors from a selection of 180 deliciously named swatches (popular combinations include “Tofu & Oyster” and “Crab & Coconut”), decide the stripe width (grand, midi, or skinny), and, finally, choose the fabric type (velvet, linen, cotton, or exterior). Soho House, Goop, and Ladurée have already commissioned their stripes, so hurry over to Colours of Arley to earn yours. (from $98, coloursofarley.com) —Paulina Prosnitz

In the U.K., walking is not only a convenient way to get from point A to point B but also a way of life. Anya Hindmarch has tapped into her love of ambling with Anya Says Walk, a new capsule collection featuring knitwear, a coat, and a bag that were designed with strolling in mind. It’s all charming, but if you would rather not drain your checking account, don’t even think about going into her Anya Says Walk concept store, on Pont Street in London. There, she is selling the best-in-class accoutrements, including boots, books, socks, wet-weather gear, hiking equipment, and even navigation tools. It’s all part of a partnership with Ordnance Survey, an organization founded in 1791 that has digitally mapped seven million walking routes all around the country.

Luggage is so last season. The real players require a bespoke Malle Vestiaire from Louis Vuitton. Carlos Alcaraz, a recent winner of both the U.S. Open and Wimbledon, has filled his with his favorite Nike paraphernalia, a Babolat racket, tennis balls, and his blue Louis Vuitton Speedy P9 bag. But it’s not just for sporty types—the house’s artisans can configure and personalize yours however you like. (Ours would include storage for a turntable and vinyl and a special compartment for our signature Air Mail cap.) The Vestiaire is made of wood, covered in classic monogram canvas, and finished with the same hardware and closures that have made these beauties basically indestructible since the 1860s. (This is all done at the maison’s ateliers in France.) But these things do not happen overnight—get started now in anticipation of the ’24 winter holidays. They’ll be here sooner than we think.

Tina Nguyen, formerly a reporter at Vanity Fair and Politico and currently at Puck, has an unmatched ability to report on Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson, and the rest of the far right. It helps that her first boss was Carlson himself. A young, ambitious Nguyen watched from her desk at the Daily Caller as the MAGA movement was born. And then, disillusioned, she left, but not without notes. In The MAGA Diaries, she details how a first-generation American and woman of color could end up deep inside the far-right party, as well as how other young people are indoctrinated, complete with Coachella-level conventions and the ever fleeting promise of more clips, connections, and power.

The 1972 Uruguayan plane crash with a young, spirited Rugby team on board is not news. The gritty and gripping story has been made into 16 books and a 1993 feature film starring Ethan Hawke. But the most recent and true-to-life rendition is Netflix’s film adaptation of Pablo Vierci’s book Society of the Snow. Spanish director J. A. Bayona (The Impossible) is artful in his cinematography and meticulous about his fact-based storytelling, even partially filming at the site of the crash. Whether you call the event a miracle or a tragedy in the Andes, Bayona’s film feels authentic because the actors are all native Spanish speakers from Uruguay or Argentina, and also because the movie’s shots exactly, carefully replicate the photographs published in the newspapers after the rescue, bones and all. Society of the Snow was selected by Spain to make the Oscar short list for best international feature. (netflix.com) —Carolina de Armas

Like everyone else you know, I’m on a “wellness journey.” (Mine was sparked by the launch of AIR MAIL LOOK, last March, rather than by a New Year’s resolution, so I am a few months ahead.) When I started exercising regularly at my local gym, I realized I would need to buy a reusable water bottle. When shopping for things of which I know nothing, I usually turn to Wirecutter. Apparently so does everyone else at Equinox, because we all seem to have the exact same Hydro Flask. It kept my water cold and had a simple design, but it was totally unmemorable. So much so, in fact, that I left it behind on the treadmill approximately five times in eight months and had to keep buying new ones. Then I stumbled upon Georg Jensen’s Sky Water Bottle. It’s perfectly sized, has a gorgeous minimalist design in stainless steel and calf leather, no one else at the gym has it, and, yes, it keeps my water cold. The best part? It’s so beautiful that I haven’t forgotten it once. ($69, georgjensen.com) —Michael Pescuma
