Each piece is individually handcrafted using the cleanest techniques. Their wooden cases go through seven different sandpaper sizes to get a smooth finish. Combining style, elegance, quality and sustainability, their products are truly one-of-a-kind concept watches. 2) Orangutan Organics www.orangutanorganics.biz Orangutan Organics uses natural, organic ingredients to handcraft luxurious soaps and lip balms that moisturize and nourish the skin. The scent combinations in their soaps, such as the orange and fir needle bar and their lavender and eucalyptus bar, are made with essential oils rather than synthetic fragrances.

Their Szauce is available in original dark chocolate and, new for the summer, a slightly spicy cayenne chocolate flavor. Not only are their products delicious on their own, they are versatile ingredients that can be used in your creations. 4) Breads & Spreads instagram.com/breadsspreads Breads & Spreads was created by Uta Pape, a transplant from Berlin for the foodie-on-the-go and inspired by her favorite way to eat bread: sumptuous spreads on artisan whole-wheat breads and ready to go for an accident-free indulgence. In Berlin they casually call it “Stulle mit Brot,” or a slice of bread with bread: one tasty or savory topping on a hearty slice of bread. It is the ideal and gloriously delicious snack for all times of the day, with both traditional and innovative culinary creations available and inspired by New York City’s global food scene. 5) AvantgardeChic www.facebook.com/Avantgardechic instagram.com/Avantardechicbyaashna AvantgardeChic is a brother-and-sister-run business that was born in Boston in 2012.
