Though the Summer of Love redux may have been stricken from the record (thanks, poor planning and management!), there’s no reason why you can’t turn this season into your own, self-directed Summer of Fun. Looking for a place to start? Enlist these six cheeky animal-inspired accessories to help get you to the finish line.
White Padded Dog Keychain by MM6 Maison Margiela
One of Margiela’s most celebrated styles, the Tabi, is thought to be inspired in part by cloven-hoofed animals. This white, puffy keychain by MM6, the house’s more accessible line, is a more on-the-nose iteration, but is just as chic. $140 at SSENSE.
Periquitos Raffia Candlestick by Mercedes Salazar
Remove yourself from Twitter with the guidance of this logged-off candlestick, inspired by those IRL tweeters—birds! Bonus: smoke keeps pests away. Begone, mosquitos! $295 at Moda Operandi.
Shoe Cleaning Hedgehog by Bürstenhaus Redecker
Allow this adorable hedgehog’s fuzz to scrape the scuzz off your feet before entering your domain. $68 at Design Within Reach.
Omini The Fisherman Napkins Tray by Ghidini 1961
Gone fishing? Us neither. But we can channel the purportedly relaxing activity with this sweet napkin tray. $305 at Moda Operandi.
Eames Mini Elephant produced by Vitra
A mid-mod classic, miniaturized? Yes, please! With the Eames Mini Elephant, whimsy is in the palm of your hand—literally. $105 at Design Within Reach.
Black And White Staffordshire Dogs By Alex Sickling
These are not your grandmother’s Herend bunnies. Alex Sickling’s handmade, ceramic doggos feature adorable flower renderings in place of fur markings. $190 at Moda Operandi.
