The red hiking hood
Come spring, this pullover jacket by favoured
hiking and extreme sports brand Napapijri
could very well become your new best friend.
Part of the label’s Geographic line, which
focuses on sportswear and urban pieces,
this summer take on their classic Skidoo cut
packs a polyamide shell fabric that makes it
extremely lightweight, windproof and water
repellent. We’ve always been purvey to
somewhat of a mix-and-match aesthetic, and
this bright but bold hoodie just about does it
for us.
Skidoo summer jacket for men by Napapijri (¤199).
Available from Napapijri (Antwerp).

death traps
Equally as terrifying as they are beautiful,
these carnivorous plants feed off small flies
and insects that get lured into their traps. And
whilst some species from the exotic jungles of
Borneo or Guinea are big enough to gobble up
entire rats, these apartment-sized carnivores
won't be turning your living area into the Little
Shop of Horrors just yet. Indeed, these imported
versions rarely outgrow their pots, although
that’s not to say you won’t catch them snapping
up a fly or two. You know, just for starters.
From left to right: the venus flytrap (dionaea muscipula),
cobra plant (darlingtonia californica) and the rosy sundew
(drosera hamiltonii), between ¤4 and ¤6.
Available from Velvet Café (Brussels).
