Proper Picks – June 2023

Urbanears Juno Noise Cancelling Headphones
This being a period of potentially prolonged travel necessitates items to help pass the time. Said items must also be compact, easy to use and well-made. In other words, if you’re off on your holidays, you need some new things to jam into your ears to play music with. Urbanears specialise in this sort of thing and they’ll not break your budget either. Up to 26 hours of playing time are possible on their Juno model and the style depicted above comes in the raw recycled state, meaning they’re good for the planet as well as your ears.

NN07 Ryan 6560 Crochet Polo
When did string vests get so desirable? Ok, it’s not a string vest as such, more a rich, luxurious polo, knitted beautifully and generally designed to make you look very, very fit.

This is the back view, don’t get it twisted. Look at it. Not even sure what flower it is, but it’s lovely isn’t it?

A face treatment that uses mushroom extracts, we’re through the looking glass here.

Patagonia Ultralight Black Hole Tote Bag
As the owner of a couple of these already, it irks me that Patagonia have once again created a must-have colourway in a bag that has given me so much joy. Stop doing nice things, Patagonia!

La Sportiva Mutant Women’s Trail Shoes
How does something so busily designed still look so nice? Not sure tbh. Nice colours, maybe? This female shoe is a real trail shoe that also happens to look nice. Buy it for your significant other, if it’s a ‘she’, obvs.

ST95 Dyne Smock
Nice navy outerwear is never off our radar, which is why we’re sharing this smart smother in spring/summer. Try saying that with a stubborn Werthers Original in your mouth.

Fjallraven Vardag Tote Bag
Not seen much Fjall stuff in purple before. Have you? It’s nice isn’t it? That classic convertible tote that can be carried in the traditional way but also over your shoulder. Very nice, yes, very nice.
