Who says you need alcohol to raise your glass? French Bloom offers all the elegance and flavor of a sparkling wine—without the hangover. Made from organic grapes and delicate floral notes, it’s the perfect way to extend Dry January without missing out on that celebratory champagne moment. Whether you’re making a toast at a wedding or simply giving in to a midweek indulgence (because Wednesdays are hard), their Extra Brut should be your new go-to for when you want to feel fancy without the fuzziness. Santé! ($59, frenchbloom.com) —Jen Noyes

Bag collectors, set your marks. Louis Vuitton has launched the LV Biker MM, a new signature bag masterminded by artistic director Nicolas Ghesquière, and the chattering fashion classes are already angling to invest. Available in three sizes and a riot of colors, its design takes after the structure and suppleness of a biker jacket. It has strong shoulders, so to speak, but is foldable and functional as well, thanks in part to its Pixel material, a new type of lambskin recently developed by the French fashion house.

As tempting as it is to cocoon yourself in a blanket at night during these dog days of winter, actually doing so during the daytime while at work is a sign of defeat. Don’t concern your colleagues: try an Isa Arfen cape instead! Serafina Sama, the house’s designer, has devised a clever solution to these seasonal doldrums with her three-gauge knits. Nearly as warm as a comforter, they pack even more style than a classic sweater, because they can be worn over button-up shirts and thinner knits to create an intriguingly layered effect. We like Cape No. 1 in brown and black. Its matching scarf is sold separately. And while it might be a bit extreme for indoors, when the weather improves, the two pieces together will present a master class in transitional outerwear. Is that spring we sense, or merely fashion dopamine? Whatever it takes! ($830, isaarfen.com) —Ashley Baker

It’s been more than two decades since artist, actor, director, and singer-songwriter Vincent Gallo released any new music. In the early 80s, while making a name for himself as a young downtown New York painter, he was a member of the band Gray, with Jean-Michel Basquiat. Years later, he met Harper Simon—son of Paul—while the two were members of Yoko Ono’s Plastic Ono Band. Together, as a duo called Butterfly, they’ve just released The Music of Butterfly, via Gallo’s own label. Recorded between 2018 and 2019, this sublime LP (“produced, engineered, mixed, designed, and meticulously mastered” by Gallo) is simultaneously austere and generous, shy and inviting. The collaborative fruits and shared wavelength of Simon and Gallo make for some truly rich, dreamy listening. It’s available only on vinyl, so make sure to grab one of the 3,000 copies featuring hand-glued artwork by Gallo before they’re gone. ($50, enjoytheriderecords.com) —Spike Carter

Blake Butler, author of the critically acclaimed memoir Molly—about Butler’s marriage to poet Molly Brodak as well as her suicide—runs a Substack where he critiques the realities of the publishing world, shares his recent reads, and explores whatever piques his interest. I especially love the way he structures a book review—listing around 11 points that delve into a story’s details, while also weaving in where he read it or how it connects to our world. Butler allows his readers to enter his mind and never shies away from the truth. A man who loves words, he captures the modern literary climate like few others.
