New Zealand Homeware Brands Worth Obsessing Over and Inviting Into Your Home
I’m embarrassed to admit that I’ve only cottoned onto New Zealand homeware brands in the last year or so. When I think ‘homewares,’ my mind automatically drifts to Adairs, Fenton & Fenton, Coco Republic (all three are Australian brands), or West Elm and Pottery Barn (both US brands). I’ve likely had blinkers on all this time because, from what I’ve discovered, stylish, quality homeware brands are thriving in New Zealand and have been for generations.
