The news we loved this week at Remix Magazine

It's that time of the week again folks. Here's the news we can't get enough of at Remix HQ! 

CHARMED by Meadowlark & Bodega
Unwind in the magic of summer with the collaboration of the century—Meadowlark, Bodega, and Everyday Wine. How often do you see a jewellery brand team up with the beverage and hospitality world? This legendary trio has channelled their inner artistry to unveil a sophisticated, bespoke Pinot. And it doesn’t stop there. With custom glasses and carafes available for purchase through Meadowlark and Everyday Wine, customers can also enter to win Meadowlark’s Drop Two, featuring food-and-beverage-inspired charms. This launch isn’t just about wine and jewellery. It’s a celebration of friendship, creativity, and community right here on Ponsonby Road.


Commonplace and McKinlay return for summer
Ever wondered when the Commonplace and McKinlay collaboration would make its return? The wait is finally over! Please mark your calendar for October 30th, when the two brands launch their fourth chapter together. Honouring New Zealand’s rich heritage, the Boundary Jandals bring a timeless twist to a local classic. For the first time in their partnership, the spotlight shines on something so simple, so down-to-earth, yet it holds a deep meaning to New Zealanders as a whole. Crafted with McKinlay’s signature leather and Commonplace’s refined detailing, these jandals blend history, place, and style into an enduring design that resonates across generations. Available in four versatile shades: black, brown, cedar, and paper. Made to be styled and restyled, the Commonplace x McKinlay Boundary Jandals follow in the footsteps of the jandals that have long defined a national trademark.


Te Papa's new summer exhibition is a masterclass in immersive art
Officially announced this week, Breathe | Mauri Ora is the stunning new exhibition coming to Te Papa this summer. Created in collaboration with international practice Marshmellow Laser Feast, the exhibition is a breathtaking collection of five major works that chart the flow of oxygen in an immersive and fully experiential way. This is one of the coolest exhibitions to visit the country in a long time.


A new side of kowtow
This week, we’re celebrating kowtow’s latest arrivals—the final chapter of their SS25 collection, where artistry and intention meet in hand-painted strokes and playful, nature-inspired patterns. Alongside this, the brand introduces its first-ever sleepwear capsule, Reimagine 06. Wholly crafted from surplus fabric, this debut marks a thoughtful step into rest and renewal. It is a gentle reminder that comfort and consciousness can coexist. Together, these releases capture the beauty of slowing down, embracing imperfection, and finding stillness in the everyday. A must-have addition to our sustainable capsule wardrobe!



Take a break, have some gin
Brought to you by Gindulgence, New Zealand’s unique artisan spirits festival, making its comeback after seven successful runs and continuing to celebrate the craftsmanship of botanical vodkas, rums, small-batch whiskies, and liqueurs from across the country. Celebrating the festive season, Gindulgence will be touring around the country from Christchurch, Wellington, to Tauranga, and Auckland. This year, Alchemy & Tonic officially joins the board, bringing all-natural, locally made mixers designed to elevate every drinking experience. Savour each sip and immerse yourself in the nation’s most applaudable spirits celebration, with a twist of unique flavours that defy the conventional. Thanks to this collaboration, the drinking game just got a whole lot tastier.
