Weekly Design Dispatch: Cute Kicks, Inside Lands and Chef Shuffle

Illustrated by Rachel Hillberg

Welcome to the weekly Design Dispatch. This week we're talking cute kicks, Inside Lands, and mixing up meals with Chef Shuffle.

DESIGN NEWS:

The Jungalow x Keds collaboration reminds us of when we used to doodle on our sneakers in elementary school… except 100x better. The artist designed kicks will add a playful element to any look with their eye-catching colors and whimsical illustrations.

In an effort to reduce waste, Wildbird, makers of baby-wearing Slings, have teamed up with Nene & Co to create Wildbird Scaps, a line of baby bonnets sewn by at-home Mom seamstresses.

Postable is our secret weapon for collecting addresses for our yearly holiday cards with ease… so when we heard they started a "Save the USPS" campaign, we knew it would be just as easy and effective, and they did not fail to deliver. Simply visit the page, select a $1 postcard and pick a rep off the list, they'll handle the rest. To make it even better, all proceeds go to helping the USPS.

LOCAL INTEREST:

Outside Lands goes virtual with "Inside Lands" this year streaming virtually on Twitch. The two-day digital festival is set to include past sets, interviews, and exclusive live sets on August 28 and 29.

Popular food truck festival Off the Grid if offering a way for food truck businesses and community members to support Bay Area fire relief efforts by sending meals to those in need right now.
