Small business shoutout— meet Fherie
They say accessories can truly make an outfit — and when it comes to independent label Fherie, we couldn’t agree more. Founded just last year, owner Riya draws inspiration from vintage aesthetics and empowered femininity to craft a considered collection of artisanal handbags. The Celeste and Starlight styles are rich in intricate beadwork, channelling a modern take on 1920s glamour. More recently, Louis joined the line-up — a striking piece rendered in blush pink pure silk velvet and embellished with shimmering glass beads that catch the light beautifully. Each handbag is handcrafted in small batches using responsibly sourced materials, with a pre-order model that minimises waste and supports a slower, more intentional approach to fashion (which we wholeheartedly champion). If you’re looking for your new go-to handbag that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, don’t look far; look to Fherie.

Auckland-based label Oosterom presents SEVEN
Timeless. Refined. Intentional. Perhaps the most compelling trio of adjectives to describe SEVEN, the latest collection by Oosterom founder and designer Nicole. And from the very first look, it’s clear she’s hit the mark. True to form, the collection strongly emphasises elevated fabrications — each material thoughtfully selected not only with the planet in mind but to ensure the wearer feels their best. In SEVEN, Nicole reimagines wardrobe staples through a fresh lens. Think diaphanous organza and textured crinkled cotton reworked across shirting, layering pieces, and dresses. As her final collection before stepping into motherhood again this June, consider it your gentle nudge to add to cart — while you still can.

The Wok designed to bring restaurant-quality cooking to your home kitchen
There’s something deeply satisfying about creating a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own kitchen, especially when you’re working with cookware that’s designed to perform like the pros. Asian-inspired dishes are among our absolute favourites to cook (and eat), so when Ironclad Co. teamed up with acclaimed chef Sachi Nomura to design the Takumi Wok, it instantly caught our attention. Crafted with precision and versatility in mind, it’s the kind of kitchen essential that inspires creativity, elevates your home cooking game, and makes every stir-fry, noodle dish, or fragrant curry taste just that little bit better.
