We’re living a life in colour this week with a bright array of new arrivals from beloved labels near and far.

1. Set the scene

Maison Balzac’s September collection, Le Jardin Chapter IV, invites you to an enchanting seaside garden party. The collection introduces two new Gaspard vases in fresh olive and mint hues, available in both large and petite sizes, perfect for holding delicate white blossoms. Founded in 2012 by French-born Elise Pioch Balzac in Australia, Maison Balzac has grown from a line of five scented candles into a unique homeware brand. Known for its hand-blown glassware, vibrant linens, and imaginative designs, the brand transforms everyday dining into playful, memorable experiences, adding a touch of elegance to any table.

2. These Extraordinary Days

Maggie Marilyn’s latest collection is a heartfelt ode to designer Maggie Hewitt’s roots in New Zealand’s Bay of Islands. Captured by Dan Roberts, the campaign reflects Hewitt’s journey into motherhood and her deep connection with family. Inspired by childhood memories, the collection features nostalgic elements like floral prints from her mother’s garden and sportswear influenced by her father’s vintage pieces. With a focus on practical femininity, the collection includes silk blouses, cashmere essentials, and versatile dresses. Manufactured with a commitment to sustainability, Maggie Marilyn continues to champion transparency and ethical practices in the fashion industry.

3. Modern love

Today, engagements and weddings aren’t a commitment, they’re a choice you make together to celebrate your love for each other. Why choose a standard engagement ring that millions of others have when you could have something more meaningful? You want to create and wear a ring that truly reflects your unique love and connection. When you look at the ring, you are reminded of the thought, care and love put behind it—a symbol of the choice you made to celebrate a life together. Four Words exist to help you create that symbol. Their designers will work with you from initial sketches, 3D models, stone selection to the final ring itself – giving practical advice at every step. The best part? Going custom with them costs the same as buying off the shelf. So when choosing to give and receive the most special gift of your life, go custom, with Four Words.
