Give your kitchen an Indian summer glow-up with a Dutch oven that’s an ode to the kairi. Available in a fresh green hue inspired by raw mangoes, it comes with an adorable flower-shaped knob. Not only is the Kairi Dutch Oven technically sound, but it also comes with fun frills like a complimentary memory kit filled with nostalgic ’90s treats. As for the Dutch Oven itself, it is 100% toxin-free (like all of Cumin Co.’s offerings), crafted from triple-patented, enamel cast iron, and ideal for making slow-cooked stews, curries, biryanis, and even baking bread. And while you’re taking a bite out of Kairi, stick around to browse and shop Cumin Co.’s other cookware, bakeware, and serveware pieces that feel both beautiful and bountiful. We also love their mustard yellow Pancake Pan that lets you flip four pancakes at once.

Here’s a radical idea: what touches your body for a third of your life should be as intentional as everything else you put on it. So stop thinking about the 5th serum in your routine for a second, and think about elevating your bedding instead. Enter Nest & Burrow, a conscious sleep brand that puts plants in your pillows (Ingeo fibre spun from corn, cassava, beetroot and sugarcane); milk in your duvet (a fibre made from casein, a milk protein that’s naturally packed with 15 amino acids); and a ‘Cool Quilt’ that works with your AC airflow to keep you cool all night. And our personal favourite: Nest & Burrow's Hotel Set (vegan down), a restful route to five star hotel sleep at home. A toast to the newly beds!
Shop at nestandburrow.in, 9892062362, Instagram, start at Rs 8,950 for a Cool Quilt.

A pair of crisp, white bermudas with a vine of roses creeping up its sides is our current summer uniform, that we will walk into the monsoon wearing.
