As springtime nears, inject a dose of vibrant glamour into your flip-flops wardrobe with the latest iconic fashion collaboration between Copenhagen brand Rotate and Brazilian flip-flops brand Havaianas.
The limited-edition flip-flop models that make up the collection are equally as wearable on city streets or sandy beaches. Featuring your choice of hot pink, bold green, or a luxe python pattern, they naturally go great with pieces from Rotate’s spring-summer 2022 collection — think draped sequin dresses, electrifying florals, and high-gloss fabrications.
4. A beloved scent captured in ceramic form
Crafting her beautiful stoneware under Titirangi’s treetops, ceramic artist Rachel Carter has created a duo of earth-toned, semi-matte glazed vessels filled with ‘Tui and Kahili’, the popular candle fragrance from homeware brand Ashley & Co.
For those unfamiliar with the natural wax scent, Tui and Kahili harnesses a soothing blend of lily, wild ginger, mimosa, sandalwood, and ylang-ylang. Encapsulated in Carter’s ceramic vessels, once the candle has burnt down to its base, the multi-purpose receptacle will live on as part of your beloved furnishings.
Available in dark green (550g) and 250g vessels, purchase them from the Ashley & Co x Rachel Carter ceramic waxed perfume collaboration from ashleyandco.co or its stockists.
