Buying photographs online can be a dicey proposition, with questions about provenance, pricing, and artist rights often lingering in the air. But now there is a blue-chip site, called BluePhoto Collective, that handles both big-name photographers and talented newcomers and charges only a 15 percent commission on sales, ensuring that almost the entire purchase price goes to the talent. Founded by two Life-magazine veterans, Andy Blau and Bill Shapiro, the site offers works by institutions such as Ansel Adams and Henri Cartier-Bresson and future big names like Tag Christof (Mrs. Redman, New Mexico, 2023, is a favorite of mine) and Laura Kleinhenz. Whether you want to spend $150 or 100 times that, authenticity and satisfaction are guaranteed. (bluephoto.co) —Jim Kelly

It was bad enough when we couldn’t stop buying the pants. Now the bags are also a problem. Sézane, the Parisian fashion house known for its insouciant, well-priced classics, has a burgeoning leather-goods business, and two new bags have just joined the family. The Gary is a bucket-style carryall in autumnal tones—mahogany patent leather, moss-green canvas, chocolate croc-embossed leather—that can be worn cross-body or over the shoulder. The Lou is a more diminutive affair, just the thing for stashing essentials, slinging it across your shoulder, and going about your business. Both deserve space in one’s closet, but for now, we’re starting with the Gary in the maxi size, which is large enough to stash all of the new-season books on our reading list.

For more than four decades, Hayao Miyazaki’s animated masterpieces have carried Japanese culture onto the world stage—captivating children and adults alike with their gentle pace, soft hues, and boundless imagination. A new book by AIR MAIL contributor Nicolas Rapold takes readers on a comprehensive journey through the filmmaker’s work. Miyazaki connoisseurs will delight in the wealth of popular culture and art that inspires the films, which Rapold cleverly pairs with film stills. (Hokusai’s print The Great Wave off Kanagawa, for instance, mirrors a still from Ponyo, the tale of the goldfish princess.) The Worlds of Hayao Miyazaki is a comforting portal back into Studio Ghibli’s magical repertoire—and perhaps even your childhood. ($35, amazon.com) —Maggie Turner

The Metrograph has a special talent for breathing new life into old forms. Take the movie theater’s concessions stand: neatly arranged on labeled shelves and backlit by a warm yellow glow, making the popcorn and Swedish Fish look like a million bucks. So it’s no surprise that the theater’s namesake magazine—launched last year and now on its second issue—fills the current film-journalism void, ubiquitous in print’s golden days of yore. A look inside takes you to a 42-page archival tribute on the late director Paul Morrissey as well as an interview with the 93-year-old actress and director Elaine May and an essay on the little-known Japanese pink-film genre. But there’s also a four-page comic, a crossword, original photography, differently textured pages, and, get this, no ads. ($25, metrograph.com) —Jeanne Malle

It may be difficult to believe, but the best Irish toadstool cap isn’t made on the Emerald Isle. It’s cut and sewn over the course of five hours in the green pastures of Henderson, New York, hard by the eastern shore of Lake Ontario. There, in the grand tradition of the bench tailors who once lined the Main Streets of every small town in America, Frank Shattuck operates a workshop from which he produces a variety of caps, sport coats, and suits of enviable durability. More remarkable than Shattuck’s cache of indestructible tweeds and robust worsted wools, though, is the fact that he rarely sees his clients in person. Since leaving New York City for upstate, the tailor conducts most fittings via phone and e-mail, instructing customers how best to measure themselves. The silhouette may not be everyone’s thing—the shoulder is strong, the lapels generous, and the caps floppy—but if you favor the rugged, old-world elegance of, say, John Wayne in The Quiet Man, Shattuck is the man for you. Caps come at a very reasonable price, only require one measurement, and can be ordered via Shattuck’s Instagram. Whether your reference is Once upon a Time in America or Dion DiMucci on the cover of Yo Frankie, it will be money well spent. (instagram.com) —Nathan King

A new coffee-table book by Ronda Carman is a loving tribute to one of America’s greatest dames, Lynn Wyatt, showing off her personality, philanthropy, and personal style. Even the most eagle-eyed social observers will learn a lot about this International Best-Dressed List veteran. A few examples: “Sister Style,” as she was known by her friend Elton John (who wrote the book’s foreword), once showed up to a safari wearing vintage Yves Saint Laurent. Her grand estate, in River Oaks (which hosted dignitaries and friends such as Truman Capote, Princess Margaret, Grace Kelly, and Andy Warhol), was nicknamed the “Wyatt Hyatt.” Carman’s curation of letters, memorabilia, and mesmerizing photographs by Slim Aarons and Helmut Newton do an admirable job of revealing Wyatt’s private side—but always in the high style to which we all came to know her.
