Week 34, 2020:

Brands spotted

This week, we've come across swim caps designed to work with textured hair, sustainable-but-affordable t-shirts, and a new brand of air-dried dog kibble.

We've also spotted Topicals – a skincare brand launched by Gen Z founders Olamide Olowe and Claudia Teng. At just 23 and 24 years old respectively, the founders have raised $2.6m in funding (including backing from Netflix CMO Bozoma Saint John), struck a retail deal with Nordstrom and sold out of their inventory just days after launching. Impressive.
