Sleep On It
It was only a few years ago that 20-something Texan Olivia White had a tough time finding the right linens for the bed in her college dorm room. “The industry lacked unique bedding that fit twin XL beds,” she says. That’s when her aunt Catherine Carmody got the idea to fit those college bunks—and then some—with stylish colorful linens, pillows and other accessories that “couldn’t be found anywhere else,” says White (pictured). She founded 41 Winks with Carmody after earning her degree in 2013, and has since helped rebrand with whimsical additions like the velvet Friendship Winking Skull Pillow ($90) and the cotton sateen Bailey “Block Out the Haters” Eye Mask ($38), which is already blowing up on social media. Next come pop-up shops around Texas and New York City—and eventually a permanent place to rest their heads. 41winks.com

five years ago after 26-year-old Houstonian Jake Schiffer fell for the libation on a European trek. “It was what everyone was drinking [in Europe],” he says, but he couldn’t find a top-shelf version stateside. So he created his own artisanal cider with fresh-pressed juices fermented with champagne yeast. “People don’t realize cider’s parallels to wine,” says Schiffer, who sells his three different ciders only in Texas—for now—at restaurants, Whole Foods Market, Central Market and Spec’s. leprechauncider.com
