Third is Aberdeen Lavender, inspired by Queen Victoria and is a mix of green notes with smokey and floral accents. Last, but not least is Cedre Blanc with its woody notes, spicy cardamom, geranium, and vetiver. Each scent is available today for pre-order and will be available in the middle of July.

Ally Capellino makes this bespoke market bag for The Gourmand‘s upcoming Issue 4 launch. The body is assembled with dark navy waxed cotton which we’ve seen from their bike bags, topped off with veg-tanned leather handles that will age beautifully with time. Bright yellow canvas adorns the inner compartments for a sophisticated contrast that subtly peeks through. A market bag perfect for markets, indeed.
