Baina’s organic towelling<br />
The reluctant purchase of the humble towel has moved<br />
into the world of “elevated necessities”, with Baina’s new<br />
organic towelling range. Not only ethically produced, they<br />
are so pleasing on the eye you won’t feel such a furious<br />
rage when the children or flatmates leave them strewn<br />
around the bathroom floor. Designed in Melbourne by<br />
New Zealand founders Bailey Meredith and Anna Fahey,<br />
the towels are crafted in Portugal with certified-organic<br />
cotton. The collection of hand, bath and pool towels come<br />
in earthy tones of sage, chalk and ecru.<br />
We may have reached that time of the holidays where we’re<br />
feeling a bit worse for wear. We got through Christmas with<br />
the in-laws and danced ourselves to our last breath while<br />
bringing in the new year. Now, it’s time to replenish our<br />
frayed skin. Dermalogica’s sassy-looking Holiday Collection,<br />
with cleansing and rejuvenating gels, balms and oils, may go<br />
down a treat. The packaging also has a distinctive new look<br />
thanks to a collaboration with street artist Kelsey Montague.<br />
SUCCESS<br />
Chef Vaughan Mabee<br />
If you want to dine on what has been called the “most<br />
spectacular meal” in New Zealand, it may be time for a visit to<br />
Central Otago’s Amisfield bistro. Chef Vaughan Mabee won<br />
Cuisine Chef of the Year recently, and with comments that his<br />
three- to seven-course “feast” is the best in the country, you’ll<br />
be in for a tantalising night. Also recognised at the Cuisine Good<br />
Food Awards was North Canterbury’s Black Estate for Best<br />
Winery Restaurant. As for Restaurant of the Year? Well, that<br />
went to Auckland’s Sidart, which was praised for its “progressive<br />
Indian flavours”. It may well be time for a road trip.<br />
The combined forces behind Christchurch’s edgy and distinctive<br />
SALT District, have won at the Place Leaders Asia Pacific<br />
awards. The district is home to some of the city’s favourite<br />
inner-city haunts, such as The Little High Eatery, Madam Woo<br />
and C1 Espresso. The name refers not only to its locality<br />
around St Asaph, Lichfield and Tuam streets, but the down-toearth<br />
attitude of those who work, drink and eat there. It won<br />
Major Place Project at the awards held in Canberra.<br />
