Max Women's Clothing 

If you’re anything like us, sometimes it takes Christmas to bring out our crafty side (enter this year’s limited-edition carry bag that turns into a festive decoration). But then, there are people like Bex who have that magic touch all year round. From founding the iconic Willis York salon in Wellington to becoming a self-taught ceramicist in the sunny north, she turns everything she touches into art. Naturally, when we wanted someone special to help create a step-by-step tutorial to turn our carry bag into a Christmas decoration, Bex was on the top of our list, and lucky for us, we got to ask a few questions as it unfolded (or folded in this case.)

Life happens, messes happen, and that dribble of coffee nearly always happens. When it comes to laundry, it isn't our first rodeo (or The Dirt Company's either). So when we got the opportunity to talk to Frankie about all things laundry and doing less of it, you bet we asked her the dirty questions.

With Mother’s Day around the corner, we’re celebrating not only the extraordinary role of our own mothers, aunties, sisters and nurturing figures but also the incredible mothers we’re lucky enough to call colleagues and friends.
