There’s a Global Effort Behind Goodee’s New Tote

Made in collaboration with the United Nations Ethical Fashion Initiative and Italian social co-operative Cartiera, the new Bassi Market tote from Goodee is truly the result of a meeting of the minds. Not only is it crafted with handwoven textiles made by artisans connected by social co-operatives in Burkina Faso but its design was conceived by Goodee’s founders, Montreal’s Byron and Dexter Peart, who launched the renowned luxury brand Want Les Essentiels (best known for its selection of natty handbags).

The tote’s launch is another feather in the cap of the Peart brothers, who saw their marketplace brand earn enviable B Corp certification earlier this year. “As a company founded on principles of sustainability and mindful connection to our world, becoming a certified B Corp felt like a natural fit from day one,” said co-founder Byron Peart at the time of the prestigious announcement. “It validates our raison d’être—to create a world where caring for people and the planet comes first—and ensures we always live up to the high standards we’ve set for ourselves.”

In addition to its work with the United Nations Ethical Fashion Initiative and Cartiera, Goodee has partnered with fellow B Corp brands like Antwerp-based children’s decor brand Ecobirdy, and Danish furniture company Skagerak.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans .

Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
