1. Making waves
Lawrence Swimwear’s SS25 collection introduces a fresh edit of sustainably made swimwear, designed in New Zealand and handcrafted in Brazil using biodegradable yarn. Inspired by the designer’s recent travels through Vietnam, the palette leans into rich brown, deep red, and classic black, with subtle saltwater-pearl details. The cuts are simple, supportive, and easy to wear — pieces made to feel good on the body and even better to live in all summer long.
2. Take a moment
Els Lovers has launched its latest heat packs in a fresh trio of colourways — classic black, crisp white, and a playful polka dot. Designed in Aotearoa from 100% natural cotton, each pack turns self-care into a simple, daily ritual, supporting those with endometriosis and chronic pain. Available in two sizes for full or targeted relief, and finished with soft, comfortable ties, Els makes it easy to care for your body. These heat packs are a reminder to pause, breathe, and take a moment for yourself.
3. Make it personal
This season, self-expression takes centre stage at Michael Hill. Following the beloved Pendant Bar Collection, the iconic jeweller unveils its newest evolution of Earring Charms, a celebration of individuality. Featuring 14 interchangeable designs, the new Earring Charms are crafted to empower you to make it personal. From the luminous sheen of ethically sourced laboratory- grown diamonds and pearls, to the saturated hues of sapphires and vibrant enamel motifs, each charm invites you to tell your own story.
4. Golden hour
Zeffer is kicking off the warm weather with three new sparkling cocktails: Limoncello, Bramble and Bellini Spritz. Made from real fruit and natural ingredients, they are light and ready to enjoy straight from the can. Handcrafted in Hawke’s Bay, each spritz is vegan and gluten-free. Joining Zeffer’s range of ciders, lemonades and ginger beer, this trio is perfect for long weekends, catch-ups with friends or relaxed afternoons.
