A Boutique Hideaway in Southern California
By Michaela Trimble
Nestled in the foothills of Griffith Park in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles is the Cara , a 60-room boutique hotel Maru . Each terrace faces the central courtyard, a serene, palm-shaded space with a pool at its center and 100-year-old olive trees at either end. Lest guests forget that they are, in fact, in California, though, at the hotel’s namesake restaurant and bar the chef Michael Patria serves dishes — such as watermelon and tomato gazpacho, and ceviche made with snapper sourced from the waters near Santa Barbara — that prioritize sustainable produce from local farms. Rooms from $299, carahotel.com .

A Tart, Sugar-Free Drink From an Art Enthusiast
By Nikki Shaner-Bradford
Of all the quarantine hobbies out there, the one occupying art world veteran Noah Wunsch might be the most unusual. Determined to curb his sugar cravings (Wunsch has an unrelenting sweet tooth), he discovered the zero-calorie, high-antioxidant properties of hibiscus water and began concocting his own formula in his New York kitchen, taste-testing each batch with his family while they stayed at home. The resulting beverage, Ruby, which launches this month, is as beautiful in color (a deep shade of red) as it is bright and tangy in taste. It’s also fair trade, organic and Sharmila Banerjee , and a newsletter with recommended articles, music, books and more. From around $4, ruby.fun .

Timeless Bags Designed to Endure
By Angela Koh
This week, the handbag designer Amy Zurek, whose résumé includes stints at the Row, Coach and Khaite, launched her own brand: Savette. Its inaugural collection consists of three geometric styles — there’s a structured rectangle, a soft oval and one that is a perfect blend of the two — with hardware designed after Modernist sculpture and jewelry that comes in silver or gold. Zurek regards each piece as a kind of heirloom, and was inspired by the strong women in her family: Savette is the maiden name of her mother, whose refined style informed the look of the line (her favorite bag to carry was a deep blue Hermès Kelly ). Zurek’s maternal grandmother had an extensive jewelry collection that her granddaughter would rummage through, while Zurek’s paternal grandmother was a seamstress with a keen eye for construction and pattern making, skills that the designer inherited. Each bag is handmade by a family of third-generation artisans outside Florence who use high-quality, sturdy leather that’s considered an alternative to box leather, which has traditionally been favored by heritage saddle and leather goods houses but is vulnerable to scratches. The collection’s neutral color palette — black, brown, tan and white — adds to its timeless appeal. What’s more, each bag has a three-way convertible strap and can be worn as a cross-body, a shoulder bag or, if you tuck the strap inside, a short handle bag. As Zurek notes, “They give you a heritage luxury sensibility with a modern twist.” Price on request, savette.com .

Genderless Summer Dressing Is Here
By Gage Daughdrill
The Saudi Arabian-born, Madrid-based designer Faisal AlFadda founded LOolios last year with the idea of making beautiful genderless garments inspired by the work of masterful artists from the 19th and 20th centuries, such as Henri Matisse, Joan Miró and Vincent van Gogh. The label’s summer Landscape collection, which launched this month, was also born from a road trip that AlFadda took, not long before lockdown, from the south of Spain to the north of Portugal. Easy to wear, and ideal for the coming months, the pieces include comfy sweatsuits in pale blue, powder pink and mint green; perfectly tailored khaki pants; crisp white button-downs; and T-shirts embroidered with delicate floral motifs. (The brand also recently debuted a line of denim.) A highlight of the collection — which on the whole is colorful yet subdued — is loolios.com .
