Atamira e-boutique | fresh & eclectic design, New Zealand

Well I did have my summer sandals on for one day – thank you Sept 1st!
Sunshine is soooo good for you one day is just not enough. Come on Spring!
In anticipation of more sunny days we do have the NEW Summer shoes instore. Check out this Kathryn Wilson Italian made ’Natalie Sandal’ - simple chic and a great flat – I dont get too many chances to wear heels in Raglan.
Chaos & Harmony have broadened their range of flats this summer too, we love the folk inspired ‘Shadow’ gold lace  … anyway you can check them out for yourself online  http://atamira.co.nz/collections/shoes/

Kathryn Wilson’s latest hi-top rendition with sequins for casual attitude. 
A little bit collectible as we are sure sequin sneakers dont come around too often and only a certain style can pull them off.
Looks great dresssed simply with jeans and tee, or shorts for summer or a little black dress … and they are on SALE.

Finally we have a decent ONLINE SALE happening and it’s moving the last of our Winter out the door – adios!  
But if you really want to escape being housebound this Winter why not take a weekend drive to Raglan for some fresh Westerly wind to blow out the cobwebs, great coffee and food and shopping… and of course you can check out our Winter SALe in Atamira in person. Crazily Summer collections are slowly arriving instore day by day which is quite exciting for some new colour injection and freshness (instore we are gladly saying adios to winter peices). www.atamira.co.nz/sale/   … I hope this intices  ‘Summer’ weather to wake up too!

Jimmy Boots we are sad to put you on SALE but the last few of you need to find new homes.

Chaos & Harmony are a New Zealand design duo based in Mt. Maunganui, we love there unique mix of textures and wearability. You will see their current designs feature in Fashion Quarterly, I am wearing their Workington Boot in Black which is great tucked into jeans and with tights. My sister is loving the Whitemouse Heel which is apparently ultra comfortable for a  heel…. which is your favourite?

Atamira has an eclectic collection of our favourite discoveries, we are mostly proud of the diverse and creative and eco-ness of New Zealander creative peoples.
We are also more than just fashion, and have a great handpicked selection of intelligent reads and beautiful books, and music (mostly nz … cause we love NZ music). Not too far down the track we will add some of the best books and music to our online store just incase you can’t find it where you are because its easy for us to add to your parcel and save you hunting around.
If you are lucky enough to pass thru beautiful Whaingaroa – Raglan on the west coast of the Nz (north island), be sure to pop in and enjoy discovering what we have discovered for you and styled around atamira. At the very least I am sure you will find a good book to enjoy while you are here.

My rainy day words of wisdom - 
“He oranga ngakau, He pikinga waiora”  …Positive feelings in your heart will raise your sense of self-worth.

Grey skys, downpours and southerly wind… its boot weather again!
Kathryn Wilson’s Jimmy Boot have been bought back for its last season this winter… after 5 seasons its still selling out which shows you can’t go past a great quality boot. The Jimmy is a sturdy, handmade (in Portugal this time) boot with wooden sole and heel, made to last and great with pretty much anything. Available in Black and Chocolate thick vege tanned leather.
Being in Raglan, we have tried to find a good range of flat or nearly flat boots for everyday wear, the Chaos & Harmony collection has some classic  lines in fine leather – check out the Workington and Heroine boots. Both ankle boot styles look great with tights, denim and tunics.
For a longer boot flat boot there is also the ‘Missing You’ boot.
Get into snuggling up this winter and looking great, mulled wine and dinner parties, evenings by the fire and  enjoying some great books….

A little bit rock chic Boh Runga’s ‘Year of the Tiger’ collection is a cute, rock n roll take on the Chinese Tiger sign. This pendant is the Tiger, and as featured in this winters Fashion Quarterly the Tiger Claw pendant with the wee heart is my favourite. Boh’s new jewellery collections (made by NZ Mint) are moving away from the new zealand feel and more into the realms of fashion & cool. We do have the classic and beautiful Birdland Collections online too for those of you wanting to take a peice of aotearoa with you.
Take a peek at the rest of her collection here   http://atamira.co.nz/collections/boh-runga-ailish/ .
You will also find some of Christchurch designer Ailish quote rings and earrings… we love these too!

We have loved Melborne based Nancybird collection of bags and wallets since we opened 3 years ago. Crafted from beautiful vegetable tanned leathers that improve with age and handprinted linens and fabrics, the detailing and quality is similar to bags of bygone eras but with a modern quirk and functionality (we love all the well placed pockets for bits & peices)
Emily Wrights designs are unique, the kind where you will be sure to get comments on and will last the distance. This Stitch bag features a reprint of Albrecht Durer’s “The knight, death and devil” 1513. Sounds disturbing but it is a beautiful image, especially of the graceful, strong horses.
