Scroll through and discover our team’s handpicked favourites that offer both protection without compromising your ideal look and craft your essential winter closet.
Constance, Co-founder and Creative Director
My winter look: “The Celine Tomboy wool jacket is essential for the colder seasons. Its seamless design and masculine vibe echo the classic blazers designed by Celine Vipiana. This timeless piece nods to her first ready-to-wear collections and strikes the perfect balance of past and present. I love pairing it with my daily accessory: a set of vintage clip-on earrings."
Madalina, Store Director
My winter look: "In Alaïa from head to toe, I give the illusion of wearing very little, yet I am warm without excessive layers. The Mirror Wool Midi Skirt is a true masterpiece – it’s perfect length allows you to cleverly hide tights underneath without compromising the look. Plus, the wool is coated in vinyl, making it rainproof."
Dorcas, International Client Services Manager
My winter look: “In winter I want to look chic and yet still be warm, so I opt for natural fibres only. The Celine cardigan in Mohair and Tippi slides in shearling are my go-to’s allowing me to feel comfortable for quick dashes out the door.”
Hannah, International Marketing Assistant
My winter look: “White and beige tones remind me of winter. This outfit is what I go for to run errands when we are blessed with those delicious sunny crisp days, with the Celine bucket bag that is roomy enough to fit all my essentials, including a backup knitwear piece which the Dadelszen Ibiza knit has never failed.”
Lisa, Head of Finance
My winter look: “I can't let go of summer skater dresses, even in the colder seasons. That's why I love the Crinoline Skater by Alaïa. Its textured, heavy knit provides warmth while maintaining the perfect shape. Instantly recognisable as Alaïa, minus the logo. I pair it with thick tights and sturdy black boots to tackle the streets and the Auckland puddles. I'm obsessed with the Le Cœur bag in strass—perfect for nights out. It looks small but fits more than you'd expect.”
Parisa, Marketing and Communications
My winter look: “I absolutely can't stand the cold, but the Dadelszen roll neck is my saviour. Winter is when I prioritise materials, this piece in all cashmere makes me feel both luxurious and invincible against the elements. It's the ol’reliable piece to keep in your bag for those unpredictable outings. I love pairing it with sleek denim and riding boots, feeling equestrian chic, and warm, while still reflecting my dress care.”
