AMÉLIE Balaclava, 2025
The AMÉLIE Balaclava was born from a love of colour, vintage treasures, and a hint of mischief. It's a playful, practical piece - a soft hug for your head that keeps you warm while turning heads. Designed to spark joy and korero, it reflects AMELIE's commitment to slow fashion, nostalgia, and individuality. Each stitch holds care and intention. I love how it transforms an outfit and makes people smile. My wish is that it brings warmth - both literal and emotional -and reminds the wearer to be bold and embrace their wairua taketake, their unique spirit, even in the coldest months.
