Federation

Federation make the kind of pieces you reach for every day, which is a better test than how they look in a photo. The design is confident without being loud, and it holds up to being lived with.

What we stock covers three things. Leather bags and wallets in genuine NZ leather, including the Never, Forever, Fly, Busy Day and Take Me bags, with gold or gunmetal hardware and a dust bag for each. Jewellery in 925 sterling silver and 14K gold plated sterling silver, from the Be Mine and Love You rings to the Impressions crystal earrings, with rings stamped Federation inside the band and presented in a velvet-lined drawer box. And Somekind soy candles, eau de parfum and hand and body wash, plus a few wall mounted neon lights.

For gifting, a ring or a pair of studs is the easy choice, and a bag is the big one. Stack the rings with pieces from our jewellery collection.

How do I look after sterling silver jewellery?
Store each piece in its box to slow tarnish, take rings off before swimming, cleaning or applying lotion, and polish with a soft silver cloth. Gold plated pieces need a lighter touch, so skip abrasive cleaners that can wear the plating.

What fits in the Take Me bag?
The Take Me crossbody measures 22cm wide by 17cm high, enough for a phone, keys, a small wallet and a few extras. It has an adjustable strap, a zip closure and a choice of gold or gunmetal hardware.
