Kelsey Plum (the Olympic gold medalist and point guard for the Los Angeles Sparks WNBA team) enjoy’s bourbon and has created Yam Jam, her own limited edition expression of Maker’s Mark as part of the brand’s Private Selection program. Featuring citrus, sweet potato, chili and toasted pecan notes, it’s available exclusively at select Los Angeles retailers. “Working with Maker’s Mark to create my own bourbon gave me a chance to take the same approach I bring to the court—thoughtful, precise, and intentional—and craft an expression that truly reflects who I am,” said Kelsey Plum. Proceeds from bottles of the first cask sold support the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation.

A masterclass in brand and heritage, Buongiorno – The Art of Living Under the Italian Sun was conceived to celebrate a new fragrance by the esteemed Italian brand Acqua di Parma. Beautifully produced by ERG Media and artfully shot by Giovanni Genzini, it celebrates the people making, defining and celebrating their craft, heritage and terroir. Recommendations from these contributors provide readers with favorite locations and personal go-tos, celebrating la dolce vita across your senses. Part journal, part guide, it captures Italy today by those celebrating its history and making its future. And oh yeah, it also elevates Acqua di Parma by showing readers the many components of the country that have and continue to inspire the brand and form its DNA. This limited edition of the book is beautifully printed in Italy (naturally), and has a linen slipcase and sun motif designed by Matteo Cibic. Whether for your coffee table, wanderlust, trip planning or show-and-tell in your next “this is how marketing should be done” meeting, Buongiorno – The Art of Living Under the Italian Sun delivers on all fronts.

Cotopaxi has just released their first hard sided luggage and we’re fans. It’s thoughtfully designed with a lightweight, rugged 100% recycled polycarbonate shell and only uses latch closures because zippers tend to break more frequently. Inside there are two packing cubes that attach to the frame and are easily removed once you reach your destination. It’s available in a 22″ x 14.5″ x 9.5″ carry on ($295) and a 30″ x 18″ x 10.25″ check in ($345). Each bag is paired with colored wheels but you can get wheels in six colors for $5 each to personalize your suitcase if desired. They focused on ease of ownership, with the wheels, handle and latches easily replaced at home.
