The five small New Zealand fashion brands to have on your radar
While our small island may sometimes feel disconnected from the global fashion scene, it's easy to forget that we’re home to some of the world’s most talented creators. If you need a quick reminder on how to support local brands, here’s our updated list of what’s currently hot on the Remix team's radar.

Earrings to match your colour
If you haven’t already spotted Sugar on the ears of the fashion-forward, then these earrings are definitely in their virtual shopping carts. Small biz Sugar has become increasingly popular due to owner Ella’s stunning handmade Italian glass Amore earrings, available in various colours and designs, including our fave, the Kaleidoscope Custom Hearts. P.S., there are also necklaces, bracelets and anklets to shop and match your earrings.

Sustainable and high quality, say less!
With a strong belief that fashion should be slow, not seasonal, Christchurch label Curata Archive has recently popped onto the Remix team's radar with their iconic Runway Hoodie being at the top of every girl's wish list. Created with the vision to contribute to the slow fashion movement, quality does not compromise with the heavy-weight material ready to keep you warm this colder season and add a chic overlay to any outfit. It’s the hoodie of our dreams!

From hobby to business
What started out as a hobby quickly turned into an obsession for knitting, and from that, blossomed Amélie. This New Zealand-based knitwear brand quickly grew from making pieces for friends to becoming a sought-after business, even catching the attention of Hailey Bieber's stylist. Amélie has even brought balaclavas back into the spotlight, redefining them as both cute and stylish. But hurry, once they’re gone they’re gone!

Accessories, but not as you know it
Handcrafted straight from her bedroom, Tiggy has quickly made a name for herself with her waist belts, necklaces and body drapes that turn the ordinary into extraordinary. These delicate and ethereal accessories transform everyday looks in an instant, providing that effortless but put-together feel every time.

Baby tee core
The final NZ small business to have on your radar is With Love Bean - a local brand known for cutesy baby tees and everyday loungewear that continue to fuel our coquette core obsession. After taking their pieces on a recent trip to New York, we can confidently say these items are Big Apple-approved!
