A Mindful Labour Weekend: Your Guide to a Waste-Free Summer

Labour Weekend is here, and New Zealand sighs with contentment. It's a wonderful, hopeful long weekend that signals the unofficial start of summer. It's a time for gardening, planning, and taking a breath before the joyful rush of the festive season.

This weekend is the perfect opportunity to thoughtfully stock your celebration cupboard, ensuring you’re ready for every birthday, BBQ, and festive gathering with beautiful, sustainable pieces that last a lifetime.

Here are three ways to help you prepare for a season of conscious celebration.

We are proud to introduce our 2025 collection of Furoshiki Wraps.

Inspired by the centuries-old Japanese tradition of fabric wrapping, Furoshiki is a truly zero-waste way to present a gift. These beautiful, durable squares of fabric can be artfully tied to embrace any shape, from a bottle of wine to a book or a boxed toy.

They are a gift within a gift, designed to be kept, cherished, and reused for years to come—as a wrap, a napkin, or even a stylish bandana for your dog on Christmas Day.

To celebrate their launch, our entire Furoshiki collection is available at a 25% introductory discount. It’s the perfect time to be the first to adopt this beautiful tradition.
