This week in tabs: Here's what's new in community and culture

Baggu's highly anticipated collaboration with NYC retailer and brand, Sandy Liang, launched and sold out just a few minutes into its early access sale on Tuesday. The frenzy left a quarter of our team (and probably thousands of others) wondering what we had missed when we logged on to Baggu's site ahead of the official drop time to find nothing left. Baggu posted on Instagram later in the day addressing the situation and said a restock will happen later this year, but still, proof of our disappointment below.

Vybes launches a canned "gentle energy" drink. I tried the passionfruit one a couple of weeks ago at our community testing event in LA.

Birkenstock announces plans for September IPO with $8 billion valuation.

L.L. Bean's business is booming with further expansion of wholesale.

Billie, the razor brand, launches a board game called, "No worries if not!," which challenges the social norms women navigate. It's seems to have already sold out, but luckily I can still play IRL.

Beis launches a commuter collection, perfect for that girl on TikTok who flys to NYC for her one day in-office per week.

Better Brand launches Hawaiian rolls.

Rihanna's Savage x Fenty launches maternitywear.
