Summer 2020
Earthly Delights By Sarah Schwartz

Brick-and-mortar and online retailers take note of product trends that reflect the natural world

The more things change, the more we regard them with fresh eyes. It’s no surprise, then, that these pages revolve around the natural glories found all around us.

So those powerful pollinators, bees, have become as iconic as they are essential. Both life-giving and life-affirming, the sun is experiencing a similar elevation.

Meanwhile, everyday wonders such as shells and trees are also noteworthy, while the astrology trend combines the marvel that is the night sky with the never-ending desire to know oneself.
