The (rooftop) tanning season will be upon us in just a few months, so why not prep for the occasion well in advance, before all of your favorite swim sets and accessories start to sell out? All of the Follow Suit styles are printed digitally to reduce fabric waste and allow for small runs, using less than 10 liters of water per meter (compared to 50 liters per meter of water required for screen printing) — no shame in this beach body game!

Northern Lights Dried Bouquet, Lovepot ($100)

Powered by its mission to let you appreciate the magically relaxing effects of cannabis without getting stoned (or trespassing the cannabis laws in your state), this flower arrangement service creates and delivers pretty & potent smokable hemp flower bouquets with all of the natural CBD and zero THC. Invoke all the positive feelings and none of the negative ones in the best, most lovable way possible!

Gingham Silk Corset, all is a gentle spring ($267)
