Jason Schwartzman has gone on the record about his love for the Strategist. He bought this phone case after reading Amelia Meath’s “What I Can’t Live Without” and now uses this Pilot Varsity fountain pen after seeing it in Ottessa Moshfegh’s edition.

When Lauren Ro reunited with Schwartzman last week (they first met back when she was an assistant for Wes Anderson), she also learned he’s very particular — and thoughtful — about his stuff (“He had a story for everything,” says Ro). The two talked for nearly three hours over two days about dozens of his favorite things, including: the word game that’s always in his pocket, a backpack that opens like a doctor’s bag, the laminator he pushes to its limit with his kids, the Daft Punk hat he’s owned for years, and his love for magnets.
