The Dandy Team Are Currently Obsessed With

This October, we’re all about the little luxuries that steal the show: drinks that lift you, rituals that stick, and scents that make an entrance before you even do.

corner shop 180 - the london spot everyone’s whispering (and filming) about

If Erewhon and a Notting Hill deli had a London-born love child, it might just look like Corner Shop 180. Tucked away in Temple, this beautifully curated grocery-meets-café-meets-wine-bar has quietly become the city’s new wellness pilgrimage — part pantry heaven, part social moment. You’ll find locals and TikTok foodies alike filming lattes beside the signature tiled counter, wondering how a shop can feel this chic.

Yes, the prices will make you blink - but the quality softens the blow. Everything on the shelves and in the kitchen feels intentional: seasonal, sensory, and a little bit indulgent. It’s the kind of place that makes a grocery run feel like an act of self-care, where a loaf of bread suddenly feels like a life choice.

Dandy verdict: A temple for the aesthetically inclined and ingredient obsessed. London’s answer to Erewhon — only with better coffee and a British sense of understatement.

canna coffee - calm energy, reimagined

In a world that often feels like it's running on overdrive, Canna Coffee offers a serene pause. This isn't just coffee; it's a ritual of calm energy. Infused with hemp-derived CBD, their blends are designed to elevate your daily routine without the crash or chaos. Each cup promises a smooth, sweet, and soft roast, providing steady focus and gentle beginnings.

Whether you prefer whole beans, ground coffee, or Nespresso-compatible pods, Canna Coffee caters to your brewing style. Their commitment to quality is evident in every sip, making it a perfect companion for those seeking balance in their busy lives.

Dandy Verdict: For mornings that demand clarity and evenings that call for relaxation, Canna Coffee is the mindful choice. It's coffee, elevated.

blanc space studios - pilates, art, and a dash of whimsy

Blanc Space Studios isn’t your typical fitness studio — it’s a little slice of joy tucked in Fulham and Notting Hill, where reformer Pilates, barre, and yoga collide with visual art and a seriously good vibe. Think of it as a place where your muscles get a workout and your eyeballs get a treat.

Every month, the walls host a new artist, turning the studio into a mini-gallery that makes your stretch feel somehow more cultured. And with classes for every level — from first-time wobblers to seasoned pros — it’s inclusive, energising, and just a touch indulgent.

Dandy verdict: Sweat, strength, and a splash of inspiration. Blanc Space Studios makes wellness feel fun, full of personality, and totally Instagram-worthy (but, you know, in a tasteful way).

loftie - sleep smarter, wake happier

Phones off, dreams on. Loftie is the bedside buddy you didn’t know you needed - part alarm clock, part sleep coach, all charm. Its two-phase alarm gently nudges you awake, while built-in sleep sounds whisper you into a proper night’s rest. No buzzing phones, no digital doom scrolling - just calm, curated vibes.

Sleek, minimalist, and a little bit smug about how good it makes your mornings, Loftie turns bedtime into a ritual you’ll actually look forward to. It’s like a tiny wellness coach that fits neatly on your nightstand.

Dandy verdict: Finally, a clock that gets it. Loftie proves that waking up doesn’t have to be a battle — it can be a little moment of joy, every single day.

le luxe - laundry, but make it couture

We never thought we’d say it, but laundry just got… chic. Le Luxe, the brainchild of stylist and all-round tastemaker Melissa’s Wardrobe, has turned fabric care into a full-blown luxury ritual. Think velvety scent beads, linen sprays and soft sheets scented like freshly pressed confidence.

The scents are addictive - elegant, feminine, and quietly expensive - transforming even the most chaotic Sunday wash into a moment of calm glamour. It’s that rare kind of brand that makes your clothes (and your mood) smell like they’ve spent the day at a five-star spa.

Dandy verdict: Proof that scent really is self-expression - and that a well-dressed woman starts with her laundry.

alia — confidence, bottled

Roxie Nafousi has already mastered the art of helping women rewire their minds - now she’s turning her attention to the senses. Alia feels like the natural next step in her world of manifestation and self-belief: a fragrance brand that doesn’t just sit pretty on your dresser, but actively shifts how you show up in the world.

Each scent is an alter ego in a bottle - one moment you’re the Main Character, the next you’re the Powerhouse, and suddenly you’re walking like someone who already got the promotion, the peace, or the person. The whole brand oozes that late-‘90s high-gloss confidence: sleek, playful, and empowering without trying too hard.

Dandy verdict: Manifestation, but make it wearable. Alia turns scent into a state of mind - one spritz and you’re already that girl.
