J.D. STARON RUGS

J.D. Staron has created the world’s most eco-friendly collection of rugs. The Pure Collection created by founder Jakub Staron is made without chemicals or external power sources of any kind. The yarn used for this collection is hand-clipped from free-grazing sheep then handwashed and hand-spun. The yarn is woven using traditional weaving techniques dating back to ancient civilizations and hand knotted to perfection. To finish the process and soften the pile, the rugs are rewashed in pure water and organic oil produced from neem plants. This sustainable process results in beautiful rugs that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also ethically made and environmentally responsible. To learn more, visit jdstaron.com.

ANTIQUE CHAIRS GET AN ENCORE

Maribel Weisz of Antique Resources and Stephanie Sarris with Bellehaven Designs have collaborated to breathe new life into antique chairs with the aptly named Encore Collection. Luxurious, durable, sustainably sourced fabrics are selected to reupholster 100-to-200-year-old chairs by a talented team of local, woman-owned upholsterers.

DERMINFUSIONS FILL + REPAIR SERUM

Dr. Dennis Gross has just launched the first product in a new category—Derminfusions Fill + Repair Serum. This serum is an advanced 3-D alternative to injectable filler that immediate fills lines, plumps, and repairs in just two weeks. The breakthrough is what Dr. Gross is coining the “MicroCell Delivery system.” The delivery system uses micelles (microscopic molecules) to reduce the molecular size of active ingredients and push them deeper to better penetrate skin. This is the first time this technology has been used as a delivery system (micelles are typically used in cleansers, like micellar water). sephora.com
