Looking for a shopping fix? Here’s the best of what’s new this week.

Irish yoga brand HolderEight have released a new range of organic cotton extra-soft sweatshirts in sunny colours to brighten up your workout/WFH wardrobe. KDK, created by Irish sisters, have released a range of squashy cashmere throws in two vibrant prints to make your ‘desk’ (couch) extra cosy. If you’re looking for a new candle to brighten up a room you’re sick of looking at, opt for the new Solidarity Candle, €10, from L’Occitane, who are donating 100% of the profits to UNICEF to fight avoidable blindness.

While you’re cosied up with your new sweater, cashmere throw and candle, you should probably add a pair of Socksss into the mix; they’re a Swedish brand making minimal-waste, organic cotton socks in joy-giving colours and prints. Speaking of minimal waste, H&M have partnered with American denim brand Lee in a sustainable denim collection that includes H&M’s first-ever 100% recycled cotton jeans made from 80% post-industrial waste and 20% post-consumer waste.

Finally, if you’re looking to treat your skin or step up your routine, there’s some exciting beauty news. Dr. Barbara Sturm, whose high tech ingredients have gained her legions of global fans including Gwyneth Paltrow, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Kim Kardashian West, has just landed in Brown Thomas. The range includes everything from tools to baby products, but if you’re treating yourself, try a mask for weekend pampering.
