Alexa Chung Reteams With Madewell, Quince’s Luxe Pantry Launch, and More

First Up: Alexa Chung Reteams With Madewell

Case in point: Alexa Chung’s new collab with Madewell. As part of her 2025 renaissance, the effortless fashion icon has put together another collection with Madewell. The third drop of their partnership features 31 pieces inspired by decades of sourcing vintage fashion. Each piece was designed to be styled together or weave seamlessly into your wardrobe as separates. Madewell put together a fun BTS film of Alexa’s design process which you can watch here.

Kathy Kuo and UrbanStems have collaborated on a holiday collection of three exclusive bouquets designed by Kathy Kuo. Each arrangement is inspired by Kathy’s signature aesthetic and designed to complement a variety of decor styles. Two of the bouquets include coordinating vases, and every arrangement arrives in a co-branded box. The collection was designed with both gift-givers and hosts in mind, offering an effortless way to put together a striking floral centerpiece for your holiday table. 

The winemakers at Avaline launched the Avaline Holiday Gift Box, a set of organic, vegan-friendly wines perfect for giving as a host gift this holiday season. The 6 bottle set comes in a beautifully wrapped box, and features a wide variety of wines to satisfy everyone’s palates. 

Trending: Decadently Festive Treats

Quince has continued its seemingly limitless expansion with the launch of Gourmet Food & Wines, a curated selection of elevated culinary and gifting essentials. Following their Royal Osetra Caviar launch that’s sold out many times over, Quince is anticipating growing customer demand for luxury culinary experiences at home. In addition to caviar, the selection includes Dom Pérignon champagne and rare White Alba truffles.

Last Crumb has teamed up with Guinness on a limited edition holiday set. Each order includes six handcrafted cookies, a collectible holiday tin, and two 16 oz Guinness glasses. Three of the cookies are baked with Guinness as a key ingredient and three of them are Last Crumb classics curated to pair perfectly with a pint. 

An exciting new brand launch: Oh So Easy is a globally-inspired baking mix brand, rooted in representation across various third-cultures and immigrant communities in the US. The brand's first three mixes are an Ube Blondie Mix (Filipino-Inspired), a Miso Caramel Brownie Mix (Chinese-Japanese-Inspired), and a Spiced Yellow Cake Mix (Palestinian-Inspired). Each mix was co-created with a chef partner from that respective culture. I love the idea of gifting a premium baking mix as a way to make a host’s life a little easier this holiday season.

Before You Go…

• Scandinavian cosmetics brand Lumene has significantly expanded their Liquid Blush range with four new shades. Lumene recently shared some samples with me and I loved the subtle, buildable color of all of their new shades. The small bottle is also the perfect size to throw in a travel makeup bag.
• LBTY. Fragrances has continued their expansion with a new LBTY. Candle Collection. The distinctive glass vessels embody Liberty’s signature British elegance and are beautiful enough to be reused in the home. 
• TWP has collaborated with Every Mother Counts, the nonprofit founded by Christy Turlington Burns, on an exclusive version of TWP’s signature Next Morning Shirt accented with orange topstitching along its chest pocket in tribute to the charity’s signature color. 20% of sales will be donated to Every Mother Counts to support its mission of improving global maternal health.
• Luxe leather accessory brand Pagerie and contemporary Los Angeles artist Lana Gomez have collaborated on The Lana Bag, a capsule of just 50 one-of-one handbags. Each piece is cut from a single large-scale artwork hand-painted by Gomez, then sculpted into a bag by the same world-renowned leather artisans who craft for iconic maisons including Loewe, Louis Vuitton, and Chloé. A fascinating combination of functional design and fine art. 
• Ruggable has unveiled Kindred Cottage, a new autumnally-inspired collection of machine washable rugs. The collection features 24 designs inspired by the romance, artistry, and natural beauty of New York’s Hudson Valley. The brand also recently launched a colorful collab with fashion label RIXO.
