Robot vacuums were developed with convenience in mind, but emptying bins filled with dust, dirt, and allergens is actually the opposite. Roborock Q5 keeps owner's hands clean by offering a truly automated experience. The Q5 takes the features from previous models, like LiDAR navigation, multi-level mapping, enhanced suction, and customizable app controls, then minimizes human intervention even further with self-emptying capabilities. An auto-empty dock removes the dust and dirt from the bin itself, allowing the device to work independently for over a month.

Sneakers don't have to sport garish colors to make a statement. Made by hand in Marche, Italy, Oliver Cabell's Low 1 takes an unassuming silhouette and transforms it into a high-end affair. The uppers and counters are crafted using 3oz, locally-sourced full-grain calfskin leather, supported by lightweight Margom Italian rubber outsoles. Italian calf-skin is used to line both the interior and the footbed, the latter of which also has a removable molded insole. Finished with Italian cotton laces, they're a timeless statement for discerning sneaker fans.

Although the jacket is unlined, the heavy cotton fabric is warm enough to see you through cold winter days.
