ALVIA’s POPit Clothing
Rapper Alvia Islandia has followed
in the plushly-trainered foot-
steps of Jay-Z and Yeezy—albeit
in a candy-coloured palette—by
launching her own clothing line
under the name POPit. Featuring
jumpsuits printed with a bright
and cheerful lollipop design, the
garments are being released in
very small runs, and sold exclu-
sively through Alvia’s Facebook
page. More designs are promised
in 2018 if you wanna join the Gum
Gum Clan. JR
ANGAN bath salts
Angan’s natural toiletries, made
with (mostly) Icelandic ingredi-
ents, have been a hit since they ap-
peared a couple of years ago. They
recently introduced two new vari-
eties of bath salts. The
first is made with Ice-
landic birch leaves and
mineral-rich sea salt
mixed with some ber-
gamot and peppermint oils; the
second contains blóðberg, or Arc-
tic thyme, with lentil oil. They’re
pricey, but luxurious—invest, and
you’ll enjoy them every day. JR
Reykjavík Roasters
Tote Bags
Made with organic cotton and
designed by Roasters’ all-time fa-
vourite contributor Julie Gasiglia,
these tote bags are a great gift to
any coffee lover. Choose between
the dark blue coffee plant print
or the one with their brew bar
paraphernalia. Reykjavík Roasters
roast their coffee on the premises,
so don’t forget to snag one of their
new Colombian bean selections
while you’re at it. AD
Urban Nomad Shelves
When the new Geysir Heima
opened its doors in December, a
new world of Scandi furniture and
home accessories was unveiled be-
fore our eyes. If you already own
one of their iconic
blankets, it’s time to
step it up with the
FÓLK Urban Nomad
Shelves. Their sleek
design and rose-gold accents make
them a perfect addition to a mini-
mal and pristine living room. AD
Shopping

There's more to Laugavegur than
puffin shops. Check this stuff out.
