Gallant & Jones
Fueled by a love for the classic British deck chair, friends Tamra Gallant and Gwyneth Jones banded together in 2009 to produce a North American version in Vancouver, BC. Their success has led to other fair-weather furniture and accessories, from beach chairs to blankets.

Lee Coren
Not far from the storied Jaffa flea market in Tel Aviv, textile designer Lee Coren produces scarves, bags, and purses with abstract patterns as well as prints of wanderlust-inducing landscapes. Coren photographed the Dead Sea for this clutch.

Mohop
In 2005, Annie Mohaupt challenged herself to make sandals that could be worn for 100 miles with nary a blister. Fast-forward to today, and Mohaupt’s Chicago business boasts footwear from vegan materials; not only is it comfortable, but also it can be customized with “infinitely interchangeable” ribbons.

Brookes Boswell Millinery
Brooklyn-based milliner Brookes Boswell started her eponymous line of hats to celebrate “the great millinery tradition of New York City.” But that doesn’t mean she sticks only to the classics: The Marketmore hat is just one of many looks informed as much by contemporary fashion as it is by history.

Lilian Asterfield
Though Boston designer Nicole Deponte grew up in central Massachusetts, she was always enamored with horses and the Southwest. She describes her alter ego, Lilian Asterfield, as a “feisty, free-spirited, modern Victorian with a splash of cowgirl.” The Falcon collar captures this cultural mash-up.
