New & Notable: Latest releases from Dagne Dover, Helix and Made In

With Black Friday approaching, some bigger purchases may be top of mind right now, whether you’re looking for a TV, a mattress or a new coffee maker. And if you’ve been keeping up with our coverage, you already know you don’t have to wait until Nov. 26 to score the best deals of the season: Brands like Target, Macy’s, Amazon and Walmart have already kicked off early Black Friday sales, and shopping experts previously told us you should jump on a deal as soon as you see it rather than wait for a lower price later in the month. With global supply chain issues threatening to limit shipments this season, shopping earlier also makes it more likely your items will arrive in time for the holidays if you’re buying gifts or decor.

While you shop, you may want to take advantage of cash-back sites like Rakuten and Honey — many offer browser extensions that will alert you when a retailer has a cash-back offer. RetailMeNot, another company with cash-back offers, just hosted its annual Cash Back Day from Nov. 4-5 with up to 20 percent cash back at stores like Amazon, Best Buy and Bloomingdale's. Leading up to Black Friday, you can expect companies to increase their cash-back offerings to lure you over to their sales.

Beyond recent shopping news, we’ve compiled new and notable launches from reader favorite brands and others we think you’ll want to know about.

Dagne Dover released its FW2021 Collection

Select reader favorite brand Dagne Dover recently unveiled its FW2021, or Future Standard, collection with seasonal colors Evergreen and Ochre and a new Leopard Print. The brand also introduced some new bags to its lineup, including the leather Tokyo Turnlock Tote and Pacific Tote. The seasonal colors are available for a limited time in finite quantities.

Helix Sleep debuted its first mattress for kids

Direct-to-consumer brand Helix Sleep recently released its first mattress designed for smaller sleepers. Dubbed the Helix Kids mattress, it comes in Twin and Full sizes and sports a dual-sided design — the polyfoam side is firmer, and the gel memory foam side is softer — so your kid can switch it up as they grow and their preferences change, the brand says. Both sides of the mattress have a hypoallergenic TENCEL cover that promotes airflow and breathability, according to Helix.

Made In releases the limited edition Yanagi Knife

Today, cookware brand Made In debuted a limited edition Yanagi Knife with a Verdigris nonslip wood handle. According to Japanese kitchenware company Korin, Yanagi knives are traditionally designed for slicing fish to make sushi and sashimi — Made In says that its knife has a long, thin blade with a single bevel, or edge, for cleaner and more thorough cuts, as per the Yanagi style.
