Dear All,

Welcome to the Autumn Winter collection for 2008 - 2009. We are very proud of the fact that much of the collection is made in New Zealand. We maintain an effort to achieve ethical practices in as many areas as possible, and base our collection around natural fibres and fabrics.

We and our retailers are really excited about presenting a number of new looks to you this season.

‘Embrace The Lace’

As a number of our loyal followers will know, we always have a lace component within the collection. So poignant this year as it is ‘The Look’ this winter.

See above Candida Lycett Green’s fantastic article in August Vogue. She quotes Miuccia Prada’s sentiments towards this intriguing fabric which has interwoven our family’s histories and traditions for centuries. “I started thinking about how lace accompanies the lives of women and about its powerful and emotional association. Lace is feminine, elegant dignified and traditional.” Click here to download the article.

Our lace is not ‘fluffy’ or ‘frou frou’ – it is sophisticated and understated. It is soft against your skin and substantial enough to skim over potential ‘danger areas’. Made in New Zealand, these are garments your daughters will come to treasure.

Our wonderful New Zealand Merino continues to be the mainstay of the winter collection. We are proud of our ethical, traceable and machine washable merino. Have a look at some of the wonderful new shapes and colours. Go out belting in this year’s vibrant red and get some warmth into your wardrobe.

Hope you love it all.
