The Wick Culture - Vintage Swim Cap by Outdoor Swimmer Shop

Object Vintage Swim Cap

The Wick are a little obsessing over vintage style swim caps (could they work not poolside, we ask?). Combining fashion and function, we think a revival for these numbers is well overdue. This gorgeous design with pink and orange flowers, is made with softer rubber – easier to pull on, fewer snags on the hair and skin – with an inner seal headband for added comfort.

The Wick Culture - Blessed by Jasleen Kaur

Object Blessed by Jasleen Kaur

£500

2024 Turner-Prize winner, the Scottish-Sikh artist Jasleen Kaur, created this ceramic and rubber incense holder, Blessed, in 2022. It’s designed to hold up to twenty Nag Champa incense sticks and comes in two limited editions of six: pigmented, glazed stoneware (blue), or slip-decorated earthenware (brown/ochre). A comment on the commodification and cultural appropriation of the wellness industry, Kaur turns the lowly flip flop into a devotional object just as worthy of appreciation and revere.

If you’re planning on really celebrating International Women’s Day, The Wick has the bottle for you. Described as distinctively fresh, Ruinart’s Rosé champagne combines the aromas of Côte des Blancs and Montagne de Reims chardonnay with the irresistible fruitiness of Montagne de Reims and Vallée de la Marne pinot noir, with coral and rosewood hues and a delicate, round finish. Aged in the cellar for 2-3 years to perfection, it pairs perfectly with shellfish. Serve at 8 degrees. Delicious!
