Set in a typical office, Quaid's character navigates hallway run-ins, conference room mishaps and unpredictable workplace moments while staying polished throughout. Real Bonobos employees appear alongside him in the series, giving the campaign an insider view of the brand's own team.

"I loved finding the humor in the everyday realities of work," Quaid said, adding that his character shows the confidence that comes from looking and feeling put-together even when the day goes sideways.

NEW YORK – September 15, 2026 -- Expert Consumers has named NELL its top pick in a new review of the best mattresses for back pain, citing the brand's high-density pocket-coil system and zoned construction.

A king-size NELL mattress packs in thousands of coils

A king-size NELL Mattress contains 4,704 individually wrapped pocket coils, compared with roughly 500 to 1,000 coils in a typical mattress, according to brand materials cited in the review. Each coil compresses independently, which Expert Consumers says allows for more localized pressure distribution across the shoulders, hips, waist, and legs, along with reduced motion transfer and stable support beneath thinner comfort layers.

New York – September 15, 2026 -- Coach unveiled its Spring 2027 collection at a runway show in downtown New York City, celebrating the house's 85th anniversary with a mix of slim tailoring, exposed construction and party-inspired leatherwork.

Creative Director Stuart Vevers reworks familiar Coach shapes instead of looking back

"For Coach's 85th anniversary, I was thinking about memory and the way familiar things change as we live with them," said Vevers. He said the team turned familiar Coach ideas inside out, softened them and left traces of a celebration on the pieces. The collection draws on archetypes long tied to his Coach work, including the trench coat, leather jacket, tuxedo, bias-cut dress and Western boot, with slim classical tailoring featuring clean shoulders and narrow sleeves.

London – September 15, 2026 -- Houseplant, the lifestyle brand co-founded by Seth Rogen, has released The House Scent Reed Diffuser, a new home fragrance made in partnership with British fragrance house Droplet, priced at £40 in the UK and $45 in the US.

The scent originated from Rogen's personal visit to Grasse, France

The fragrance began as a bespoke creation Rogen made himself during a fragrance-making experience in Grasse, France, widely known as the world's fragrance capital. Droplet, founded by siblings Sam and Lucie Beecham, later refined and bottled the scent for retail.

Rogen said the Grasse experience showed him how personal and complex scent-building can be, and that he wanted a fragrance that felt warm, inviting, and a little unexpected for his own home.

Vacaville, Calif. – September 15, 2026 -- Ammaar's Toyota Vacaville now has the 2027 Toyota Land Cruiser on its lot, giving Northern California shoppers access to a hybrid SUV rated for 326 net combined horsepower, 465 lb.-ft. of torque and 6,000 pounds of towing capacity.

Full-time 4WD and locking differentials tackle rocky trails

The SUV sends power continuously to both axles, with an electronically controlled two-speed transfer case that adjusts torque for gravel, mud, snow or rock. Rear and center locking differentials add traction when wheels lose grip, while Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control automate throttle and braking so drivers can focus on steering.

An available Stabilizer Disconnect Mechanism increases wheel articulation over uneven ground, and the Multi-Terrain Monitor uses front, rear and side cameras to show obstacles near the vehicle, including terrain underneath it.
