Lastly, another local label that does a stellar line in linen is hej hej, who proudly state on their website: “we’re a label born from a healthy obsession with linen. With its intrinsic indulgence, holiday weight and texture that bows and holds in all the right places, it not only looks stunning and feels terrific, but has a whole personality of its own.” They do some beautiful separates, and always in a colour palette to make you smile. www.hej-hej.co However you choose to wear it, linen is undoubtedly the best way stay cool this summer.

Natalie Procter is the designer behind the Mina label, which I was excited to hear is opening a store in Grey Lynn in the not-too-distant future. She too has included linen in her collections since day one, and many of her pieces are my favourites come summer and winter. “I love working with linen in our ranges,” she tells me, “it's natural, has just a raw texture and it is even more beautiful as it ages with washes and wear.” Commonly seen in summer collections, the Mina team has sourced a beautifully weighted, Pecan linen that can be worn year round. “We designed a blazer and pant that on their own are classic wardrobe staples,” says Natalie, “and as a set will see you through all the seasons.” www.minaforher.com
