For her most recent project collaborating with Ryann Holmes, Sara Elise designed and opened Again Vintage in 2024, a brick-and-mortar homewares shop in Brooklyn, NY that bridges the connection between community, design, gut-healing food + beverage, slowness + ritual, and celebrating home as sanctuary.

The shop is the home of SUBLIME Coffee + Plant Potions, a cafe concept space that shares exceptional locally-roasted coffee + espresso from AAPI + woman-owned roaster Driftaway, as well as hand-crafted immunity + microbiome-boosting herbal beverages, and an assortment of gluten-free, processed-sugar free, and dairy-free baked goods, and specialty pastries.

The retro, vintage, and antique objects at Again Vintage are interwoven with newer objects in the collection to form an ongoing dialogue centering wander & delight, environmental consciousness, art & style, and intentional design. The found objects are sourced from time spent around The Catskills, as well as through the regular travels of the co-owners to Japan and The Mediterranean, and all contribute to the beauty, ritual, and slowness of a thoughtful homespace.

But really, a thoughtful home first starts in your kitchen, and a thoughtful kitchen starts with your pantry. In that vein, SUBLIME is also home to Pantry by SUBLIME, a thoughtfully curated collection of nutrient-dense essentials that will raise the standard of your kitchen (and the health of your microbiome). The full pantry, like the housemade mylks used at SUBLIME, is gluten-free, industrialized seed-oil free, dye + additive-free, and processed sugar-free. Pantry by SUBLIME is stocked with daily things you need for nourishing yourself — like bison bone broth from OWL and cultured ghee from Divya’s — and also for elevating the every day or hosting your loved ones — like Spring & Mullberry’s date-sweetened chocolate and Branche’s finishing olive oil. Everything has been sourced prioritizing organic, local, smaller, family-, women/GNC-, BIPOC-, LGBTQ-owned farms + brands just as obsessed with what they put in their bellies as the co-founders are.
