The Editors’ Cut: 9 Finds for a Portable Summer

May 29, 2026

Welcome to The Editors’ Cut, our monthly column dedicated to beautiful and useful finds for all over the house. In this installment: In summer, we’re big proponents of keeping a beach chair in the trunk and a swimsuit in our tote bags, just in case the moment presents itself. In that spirit, here are 9 flexible, portable finds for making the most of the longer days wherever you are, from great-looking fold-up chairs to a souped-up bike basket.— The R/G Editors

If you haven’t had one since childhood, consider Underwater Weaving Studio’s grownup version; you’ll find there’s no shortage of things to fill it with (greenmarket finds, clipped flowers, a bottle of wine and a book). Shop here.

We’ve even found, from experience, that it can be thrown in a tote bag for an impromptu after-work hang on the beach. This year, we’re eyeing the fresh, vibrant green enamelware from East Fork. Shop here.
