One of the things that makes every General Collective Lifestyle & Design Market so special is discovering incredible new brands alongside the much-loved favourites our visitors return for year after year.
This August 9th, we're excited to welcome a wonderful selection of first-time and new vendors, each bringing thoughtfully crafted products, inspiring stories, and exceptional quality.
River & Isle transforms original hand-painted artworks by founder Daina Bradshaw into beautiful linen cushions inspired by New Zealand's landscapes. Printed onto premium linen and paired with New Zealand-sourced duck feather inners, these cushions are designed to add timeless style and artistry to any home.
For those looking to embrace more sustainable self-care, Norilum is redefining natural body care with handcrafted solid shampoo bars, soaps, and deodorants. Made using nourishing botanical ingredients and traditional cold-process methods, their products deliver high performance while reducing plastic waste.
Bringing warmth and country charm is Country Collective, a proudly New Zealand-owned brand inspired by life on the land. Their beautiful recycled wool blankets celebrate comfort, authenticity, and the simple pleasures of rural living—perfect for cosy winter days.
We're also delighted to introduce Amanda Whitehead, whose handcrafted wooden homes are lovingly created from reclaimed timber, each one celebrating the meaning of home, family, and belonging. Alongside these unique keepsakes, Amanda's mixed-media artworks explore landscapes, architecture, and the emotional connection we have with special places.
Of course, these exciting new exhibitors will be joined by a hundred carefully curated New Zealand brands, including many returning favourites offering everything from homewares and fashion to jewellery, art, skincare, gourmet food, and gifts.
Whether you're searching for something beautiful for your home, a thoughtful gift, or simply looking to support local creativity, there's something waiting to be discovered.
