Sigil perfumes are hand blended to evoke the natural world that surrounds us by using handmade tinctures, essential oils, and absolutes.
Taylor Stitch Democratic Jean
Being a Bay Area-based brand, you could say blue runs in our blood—the blue jean is as integral to the local identity as the Golden Gate Bridge or the grizzly bear, and we're honored to uphold—and elevate—that tradition. The Everyday Jean is another step along the way towards crafting the perfect blue jean; it's built for the long haul, relies on responsible materials, and it won't break the bank. We think Mr. Strauss would be proud.

They double as good old-fashioned vases, too. Each gem is handmade from 100% recycled glass (a nice little nod to Mother Nature, we think).
Surf Shacks Volume 2
Surfing is a way of life, one that defines not only where we live, but how we live.

Exhalation: Stories
In these nine stunningly original, provocative, and poignant stories, Ted Chiang tackles some of humanity's oldest questions along with new quandaries only he could imagine. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and second chances. In "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications that are literally universal. In "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom," the ability to glimpse into alternate universes necessitates a radically new examination of the concepts of choice and free will. Including stories being published for the first time as well as some of his rare and classic uncollected work, Exhalation is Ted Chiang at his best: profound, sympathetic—revelatory.
Wellen Seawool Beanie
A traditional fisherman’s beanie made from recycled plastic bottles and oyster shells. Produced with a combination of recycled plastic bottles and upcycled oyster shells, Seawool is an incredible step forward for sustainable textiles. It shares many of the same qualities we love about merino wool—soft to the touch, temperature regulating, quick drying, antimicrobial, durable—while rescuing a great deal of waste from ending up in landfills and oceans. We love the serendipity of an old-school seafaring beanie that’s made with upcycled oyster shells, with all the cozy warmth and rugged durability we would expect built right in.
Moon Pod Crescent
Crescent is an ergonomic backrest thats elevates your relaxation on Moon Pod, or anywhere else in your home.

True colors shining through. You'll never lose track of your glass again thanks to these functional felt "labels." A minimalist approach to staying abreast of your wine glass's location at a party, these colorful circles wrap around the stem, allowing for easy identification in a crowd. Made of durable Merino wool felt, they come in three color packs: muted "Autumn" tones, bright "Rainbow" colors, and the "Variety" pack which gets you one of each. Whichever pack fits best with your style, you're sure to remember your striking personal color… even after a few glasses of wine.
Crosley C6 Turntable
Don't let those vinyl records collect dust when you can enjoy them on this classic two-speed belt-driven turntable with a built-in preamp. Set on a sturdy veneer base, the heavy steel turntable platter minimizes natural vibrations of the motor to produce that characteristically warm analog sound of vinyl. The manual-return tonearm lets you properly adjust the weight and tracking force and comes preinstalled with a standard-mount cartridge needle for quick and easy setup.
