The humble shirt gets an upgrade here with Shirt Number White. Coming in both black and white colours, it is the form and tailoring here that really stands out.

Started in 2016 by Bessie Ye, homegrown label R y e has become well loved for its functional garments with a pared back sensibility. Their collection of reinvented classics comes with an ethos for a slower pace of life through considered designs.
If you’re looking for garments with that extra pop of colour, you’ve come to the right place. David’s Daughter is not for the shrinking violet - expect to see statement items, from jumpsuits to midi dresses in bold prints and a bevvy of colours.
This safe and non-toxic local beauty label comes in delightfully minimal packaging and an entire range consisting of only four products, keeping to their values of keeping skincare simple: less ingredients, no unnecessary fillers, fewer products for less waste and clutter.

Zero waste, and made with carefully and sustainably sourced plant-based ingredients, OASIS: uses products that are kind to both your skin and the environment.

With staying in becoming the new norm, many of us have turned our attention towards our homes and turning them into its optimal state.

It also comes with proprietary technology for wrinkle-free sheets, with no harmful chemicals.
