In Conversation Meet Gabrielle, founder of Woodsy Botanics, an NZ born and bred business founded on the principles that nature knows best.
In Conversation Driving out to Muriwai Beach on the west coast of Tāmaki Makaurau is the beautiful and unassuming studio of Lil Ceramics - once an apple barn on a thriving orchard, is now converted into the studio of Lil Ceramics.
Lily is an inspiration to all of us in the art of taking the time to slow down in life, sourcing her materials from local places that are close to her heart, and only creating ceramics in small batches - each piece is unique and perfectly-imperfect, telling its own story that can be retold as it is handed down throughout generations.
Sharing a coffee with Lily, we spoke about our mutual respect for living a life that is more considerate on the planet, we dove into the details of what life is like as a full-time ceramicist, what inspires her to create and how she spends her summer creating.
In Conversation We all have a place in our heart for chocolate - the perfect pick-me-up, afternoon sweet treat or gift for our loved ones. So, we were super excited to come across Fruney Chocolate - a family run business based out of Waikato.
We sat down with founder Julia Reviaki (potentially one of the biggest chocolate fans to exist) and dove into all the (yummy) details behind creating artisan chocolate; Julia’s passion for sourcing only the best ingredients, family values, and how the company engages with their local community.
Introducing We're all about dressing for the party you want to be at, so it was no surprise when we teamed up with our friends at Barkers to host an event at Hotel Britomart that we did just that. We all know the best occasions end recounting the night's events whether it's office parties, weddings, or a day at the races – grab a dress and call the cab, with our new collection you’ll be the best dressed guest no matter the event.
In Conversation It's no secret that over the past four years we've shifted our focus to people and planet by crafting pieces to last in your wardrobe while being kinder to the place we call home - a journey we're still well and truly on.
Part of our journey is transparency and being honest with you, our much-loved customer, about everything we're doing to be better. That's why we jumped at the opportunity to meet with Andréa van der Meel from All Things Considered (ALLTC), a platform for considerate fashion consumers to discover and have a say about the sustainability and ethics efforts of their favourite brands.
