5 things we loved this week

From precision skincare and cooler-ready wines to cashmere loungewear and Deadly Ponies’ latest capsule, these are the new arrivals our editors can’t stop talking about.

1. Tremolo time 

Deadly Ponies’ Tremolo capsule has arrived, and it’s one of those drops that reminds you why the brand has such a loyal following. The bags play with texture in a way that feels almost nostalgic. Hand-woven panels, soft Deer Nappa, a waxed finish that cracks just enough to look lived-in rather than precious. The Mr Midimese, Mr Sling Micro and Poucher Grande all have that relaxed, effortless-luxury energy. *Added to cart*.

2. Freshly quenched skin

If your skin could talk this summer, it would ask for a serious hydration boost — enter the Hydration Booster Serum by Oria Skin. Packed with hyaluronic acid, kawakawa, and cucumber extract, it delivers a fresh, dewy glow that lasts all day without feeling heavy. Plumps, smooths, and calms stressed-out summer skin, it layers effortlessly under SPF, makeup, or any other serum you fancy. Your everyday hydrator has officially arrived.

3. Cloud nine

Elle & Riley’s new Loungewear Collection is all about elevated essentials you actually want to live in. Meet Cloud Cashmere, featuring zip hoodies, matching trousers, and simple dresses that make lounging look chic. Minimal, luxurious, and easy to live in, the collection proves that comfort doesn’t have to compromise style.

4. Summer, sorted 

Villa Maria has officially solved the age-old beach-day dilemma: good wine, zero fuss. The iconic Kiwi label has launched its new 250ml cans of Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris and Sparkling Rosé bringing premium sipping to picnics, garden soirées and any moment that doesn’t warrant opening a whole bottle. Already a hit in the UK, the range has landed just in time for summer. Crisp, convenient, and very much cooler-friendly. Consider your warm-weather plans… canned perfection.

5. Due for an upgrade? 

Tronque’s cult-favourite Scar Concentrate has undergone a refresh, emerging in a new precision glass dropper that delivers a cleaner, more elevated user experience. The formula remains uncompromising: a potent blend designed to soften scars, even tone, support fresh tissue formation, and boost elastin. The upgraded dropper allows for targeted, waste-free application while protecting hard-working actives. Think high-strength vitamin C and collagen-supporting lipids. Your top shelf will thank you.
