Matariki at Salt & Honey — A Moment for Family, Community & Winter Style

A season of reflection, connection and new beginnings

Matariki is a special time in Aotearoa — a moment to pause, reflect, and appreciate the people and places that shape our everyday lives. At Salt & Honey, those values sit at the heart of who we are. As a family‑run boutique with stores in Feilding, Foxton, and Hunterville,

Matariki always reminds us why we love what we do - creating warm, welcoming spaces where women can feel confident, comfortable, and themselves.

This month we also celebrated our granddaughter’s second birthday — a sweet reminder of how quickly time moves and how important these little moments are. Matariki brings that same feeling: pause, reflect, appreciate.

Community at the heart of our boutiques

Each Salt & Honey store has its own personality, shaped by the people who walk through the doors every day. Whether it’s a familiar face popping in for a cosy winter knit, or someone discovering our boutique for the first time, we’re grateful for every conversation, every smile, and every connection.

Supporting local is part of our DNA, and we’re proud to be part of the everyday rhythm of Feilding, Foxton, and Hunterville.

These communities are the reason Salt & Honey continues to grow.

Winter style — cosy layers for the season

Matariki also marks the heart of winter, and this year we’re seeing a beautiful shift toward comfort, warmth, and easy everyday style. Customers are loving:

- soft knitwear in warm neutrals

- deep greens and earthy tones

- textured layers that feel like a hug

- relaxed silhouettes that work for real life

These pieces make cold mornings feel a little easier and help build a winter wardrobe that’s both practical and beautiful.

A moment to appreciate

As we head into Matariki, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the people who make Salt & Honey what it is — our customers, our team, and our family. Thank you for supporting our small business, for choosing to shop local, and for being part of our journey.

We hope this season brings you warmth, connection, and a few moments to pause and breathe.
