Designer and London-based shop owner Alex Eagle on the water bottle, makeup remover, and suede slippers she can’t live without

Photo: Olivier Yoan If you’re like us, you’ve probably wondered what famous people add to their carts. Not the JAR brooch and Louis XV chair, but the hand sanitizer and the electric toothbrush. We asked designer and London-based shop owner Alex Eagle about the water bottle, makeup remover, and suede slippers she can’t live without.

$34 Buy at Amazon Buy $34 Buy at Amazon Buy S'well Water Bottle, 25 oz. The S’well water bottle keeps things hot, which I love because I love tea. Or I’ll fill it up with filtered water, and shove a little bit of ginger or mint in there before leaving the house. We’ve eradicated all plastic water bottles from the house, but we still drink some mineral water out of bottles. I’m really trying to get it all down to just filtered water. Eradicating glass is next. We’re getting there.

$4 Buy at Cloth House Buy Ribbon from Cloth House There’s a shop called Cloth House right near me in Soho, which I love going to with my kids. The owners have been there for ages. They have such beautiful fabric there: Japanese cotton, linen, block prints. And then there are all these ribbons — the colors are so inspiring. Like, the perfect shade of mustard yellow, or mint green, or a bright red.

$50 Buy at Violet Grey Buy Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick What’s really nice about this is that it’s foolproof, I’ll just do a little bit on top of my cheeks. You don’t have to be a makeup artist to be able to use it. The packaging again is so clever — it’s magnetic — and it’s the perfect size. I’m not great at being patient and putting on makeup, so I do love things that are, you know, time-saving and fun to use.

I pick it up at one of my favorite places in Florence; the shop is next to the old Santa Maria Church — it’s been there forever. I will also buy it in London — I used to live near one of the Santa Maria shops here, and the woman who ran it used to look after my spare set of keys for me. Still, there’s something about buying it in Florence that feels like such a treat.

$390 Buy at Violet Grey Buy Frédéric Malle Portrait of a Lady Eau de Parfum, 3.4 oz I’ve worn this Frédéric Malle scent for like five or six years. Taxi drivers are always commenting on how nice it smells. I can’t even smell it on myself anymore — I’ve worn it for so long. But I feel like it has a fresh, clean sheet smell mixed with something sexy, but without being too earthy. There’s something kind of mysterious about it.
