1. Elevated bathing
Antipodean towelling brand BAINA has unveiled the Weave Collection. Inspired by the rhythmic repetition of Art Deco tiling and modernist textile design, the collection pairs a bold geometric print with a restrained vertical line motif—delivering an intentional, harmonious aesthetic. Crafted in Portugal from GOTS-certified organic cotton, the four-piece range exemplifies BAINA’s commitment to mindful materiality. “For us, BAINA is more than considered towelling. It represents reconnection to one’s bathing routine,” says co-founder Bailey Meredith. Read an interview with BAINA co-founders Anna Fahey and Bailey Meredith in FQ‘s autumn issue, out now.
2. Sip in style
Bringing a contemporary twist to a timeless classic, East Imperial’s new Gin & Tonic RTD range delivers effortless sophistication in every sip. Crafted with premium small-batch New Zealand gin and the brand’s award-winning mixers, these bar-quality cocktails come in three refined flavours – crisp Classic Tonic, zesty Grapefruit Tonic, and sophisticated Rhubarb Tonic. Perfect for your next soirée or stylish sipping on the go, the range is available from Liquorland, Super Liquor, and select retailers nationwide.
3. Let the rain fall
Jane Eppstein unveils ‘Rain’, a six-piece jewellery collection that distils the quiet poetry of falling water into sterling silver and gold-plated forms. Inspired by the suspended elegance of a raindrop before it meets the earth, ‘Rain’ balances movement and stillness through sculptural curves and fluid silhouettes. Thoughtfully handmade in Eppstein’s Te Whanganui studio, each piece rests gently against the skin, catching the light with every shift. FQ‘s top pick? The Rain Necklace – a pendant design with a bespoke option to add a small ‘secret diamond’ nestled on the reverse, offering a touch of personal significance.
