Ruqayyah Alzona Al-Baari is at her Detroit studio early in the morning. Already she's burned frankincense and myrrh, picked an atmospheric playlist and is contemplating a wall covered in design sketches. ‘You have to have your rituals before the work begins,’ she says, while examining the wall and deciding what she'll make today.

Subverting the stereotype of a cannabis dispensary – small, clinical rooms with little natural light – Rebelle's flagship store is in a 100-year-old farmhouse in the Berkshires, Massachusetts.

The World's Best Shops features Moro, a concept store based in Marrakech and shows how shops can look beyond their products.
People claim that Nigeria's capital, Lagos, is the biggest city in the world without a proper skate park. With a population of more than 15 million people – making it Africa's most populous city – they're most probably right. But, over the past few years and despite the generally poor roads and infrastructure of the city, one of the world's most exciting skate scenes has emerged – largely because of the efforts of one man, Jomi Marcus-Bello, and the brand he founded in 2012, WAFFLESNCREAM.
