1. Let’s go to the Market
MARKET has landed in Parnell, reimagining the modern marketplace as a design-led summer destination. Running for four months, the pop-up brings fashion, art, objects and hospitality together in a curated space that’s part store, part gallery, part social hub. The brand mix spans Rebe, Wynn Hamlyn, Paris Georgia and Beach Brains through to Moscot, Flatlist, Jasmin Sparrow, Design 55, Marmalade Store, Holiday Records and Enoki Store. With Atomic coffee and mezcal chocolate cookies by Cazador, MARKET is open now at 8 Faraday Street.
2. By the sea
Oosterom is adding a little romance to summer dressing with the launch of a limited-edition Shell Belt, created in collaboration with stylist Levi Tan. First teased at the Francie pop-up (where it promptly sold out), the handcrafted piece returns in a small run ahead of Christmas. Made in New Zealand from silk and finished with freshwater pearls, polished shells and a signature Oosterom rosette. Designed to be worn at the waist, on the hips or styled as jewellery, it’s equal parts adornment and a conversation piece.
3. Second skin
Wellington-based lingerie studio Underlena is stepping into a new chapter, taking the reins of intimates label Patina. Originally founded in Amsterdam by Katerina Furrer, Patina built a loyal following for its restrained, modern approach to lingerie. At the heart of the offering is PATINA’s Translucent collection: a wire-free mesh bra and brief available in three colourways, crafted from OEKO-TEX certified Italian materials. Developed over two years of research and wear-testing, the pieces reflect a shared philosophy of everyday sensuality.
4. Cherry on top
ghd’s Cherry Chic limited-edition collection makes a strong case for last-minute gifting done well. Finished in a deep cherry lacquer with warm caramel tones, the range pairs the brand’s trusted professional tools with matching vanity cases that feel genuinely special. Whether it’s polished waves, a smooth blow-dry or everyday styling – consider it a luxurious present that still feels festive, and very much worth keeping for yourself.
5. Oui Oui, Emily
Glasshouse Fragrances brings the spirit of Emily in Paris to life with its limited-edition Oui Oui Emily candle. Think couture energy in a 380g soy candle: top notes of lychee, peach, pear and raspberry mingle with rose and violet buds, finishing on a base of patchouli, vanilla, caramel and praline, it smells as delicious as it looks. Housed in a chic illustrated vessel, it’s a little piece of Parisian glamour for your home – playful, stylish, and impossible not to love.
