Ashley &Co Washup All-Over | 5 Things | Fashion Quarterly

1. Coming clean

While many of us religiously adhere to a seven-step skincare routine for our face, we can often forget about the rest of our body. As the winter months cause our skin to become more dry and vulnerable to the elements,  Ashley & Co’s brand new Washup All-Over couldn’t have arrived at a better time. Boasting a PH-balanced formula infused with nourishing plant-based essential oils and extracts, this body wash provides a sensory experience while cleansing with the calming addition of harakeke, ginger root, and aloe. Slipping seamlessly into our daily rituals, this luxurious wash offers skin-loving nourishment from head-to-toe. Did we mention it also smells delightful?

Moochi Alchemy Collection | 5 Things | Fashion Quarterly

2. Less is more

Known for their minimalist cuts and trans-seasonal design approach, Moochi merges fluidity with structure in their latest collection: Alchemy. Designed with everyday practicality in mind, the collection showcases a series of contrasts, juxtaposing streamlined drapery with nostalgic prints and slouchy knits with sharp tailoring. Fresh neutrals are balanced with rich autumnal shades as the collection harnesses a palette of white, cream, camel, blue and rust. With designs that transcend trends and embrace androgyny, floaty cuts like the Vital Dress pair effortlessly under any of the collection’s many outerwear styles, such as the Shorty Shacket, Master Trenchie or Calibre Blazer. Crafted to last and to complement your existing wardrobe, Alchemy’s pieces serve as stylish stalwarts amongst your winter repertoire.


The first drop of Alchemy is available in-store and online now.

Noa Blankets | 5 Things | Fashion Quarterly

4. Don’t sweat it

With the chill setting in as we move towards mid-winter, investing in luxury wool certainly feels like a good idea. Drawing inspiration from Māori design, Noa Blanket Co’s blankets are crafted locally using 100% pure New Zealand wool. More than a mere source of warmth, their blankets are true works of art—a taonga that marries culture and colour through their intricate hand-woven designs. For founders Whakaawa and Josh Te Kani, each blanket represents an opportunity to infuse deeper meaning into the rituals of storytelling and gift-giving: “We want to weave as many of our collective stories as we can – to treasure and to share.”

Between their vibrant retro colours and bold bottle designs, Saturdays adds a touch of playfulness to any top shelf.
