The Risette List: Vol 15

1960s Vintage Sweatshirt. You should know my love for vintage sweats by now. So, if you don't already own some, consider this your nudge. There's nothing quite like pulling a worn-in crewneck over a bikini on a cool summer night. This combo always feels perfect.

Meet Draperie. I'm not sure I've said it here yet, but I’m the co-founder to a newly launched homeware brand, Draperie. The idea started with my business partner, Daisy when designing her own home, she wasn’t able to source window treatments that were design-first, well-made with natural materials, and didn’t cost a fortune. So we decided to make it ourselves.

Tessa Terry Tunic by Gil Rodriguez. The tunic is one of those pieces I’ve always loved, and this one is the ideal thing to throw on après-swim (and beyond). The founder, Eliana Gil Rodriguez wrote an ode to the tunic on her substack to go with the collection. There’s an interesting conversation about age and how she started making crop tops for women in their twenties, and the tunic is what feels right for where she is now.

What Artist Wear by Tatum Dooley. When I first read it, I loved it but couldn't quite put my finger on why it resonated so much. The author asked me to let her know if I ever figured it out — and I finally did (see below).

Vintage Leather Lounge Chair by Nicoletti Salotti, Italy, 1980. File this under things I think about more than I'd like to admit. The form alone is worth a second look, but the red leather really stuck out. I want to

Small Tea Pouch Leave it to Doctor Stolberg to make the ‘zip-lock’ baggie look chic. As she puts it: “For meals out, long days, and the moments when a tea emergency strikes. A Well Being is never caught without one.”

Black Shoshi Mug What can be better than a CAP Beauty collaborations? This one's with Shoshi Watanabe, the Japanese-born, LA-based ceramicist whose work folds traditional Japanese technique into a kind of easy California softness. I’ve been eyeing this mug since it’s been sold-out, and was very excited when they brought it back. Was able to snag 2 during their birthday sale over the weekend which I’m using as I write this post!
