New & Notable from Toms and West Elm, Curie and Caraa
Also: As global supply chain issues linger, new research shows retail spending in November is up nearly 20 percent compared to last year.




Curie came out with its newest creation, Whipped Body Wash, a non-liquid (and TSA-approved) body wash that also works as a shaving cream. If the whipped soap mixes with a lot of water, it functions more like a body wash, but if it mixes with less water, it acts more like a shaving cream, the brand says. It’s available in three scents: white tea, orange neroli and grapefruit cassis.
This limited edition collection of products adds fuzz to Caraa’s bags. There are Sherpa styles available for the Small Sling bag, Cirrus Small rucksack and Remus 2 duffel bag. The Small Sling and Cirrus Small Sherpa bags come in black, toffee or cornflower colors, while the Remus 2 Sherpa duffel bags come in Black Cognac, Toffee Red and Almond Blush colors.
