COLLAB

RAAIE X SALON SELF

A beautifully aligned collaboration between Raaie and Salon Self, launched with a summer soirée that brought together our shared communities of ambitious women. Grounded in a mutual ethos of intentional living, confidence, and thoughtful design, the collaboration felt like a natural meeting point between skin, style, and self-expression.

Introducing the RAAIE x Salon Self Sun Set, a considered pairing for summer, mindful of both skin and style. At its heart is the S Piece, Salon Self’s debut design by founders Chloe Eckhoff and Hannah Wentz, an expressive essential created to move effortlessly with the modern woman. For the collaboration, Salon Self reimagined its original S Piece to create a product uniquely aligned with RAAIE, incorporating custom edging in the brand’s signature sun-kissed yellow alongside bespoke collaborative branding assets. Crafted from lightweight 100% cotton, the limited-edition design transforms into all the S’s: sarong, summer top, swaddle, sun protection layer, or scarf, embodying versatility while reflecting the visual identity and spirit of both brands. Paired with RAAIE Sun Milk Drops Tinted SPF50, the set became a curated summer ritual that protects the skin while elevating the everyday with intention.

The collaboration became a beautiful example of the opportunity to partner with like-minded brands in a way that feels authentic, thoughtful, and creatively aligned. Together, RAAIE and Salon Self created an S Piece that symbolised a shared vision of versatility, ritual, femininity, and modern living, values deeply embedded within both brands. Throughout the evening, guests styled the S Piece in their own unique ways, showcasing not only its versatility, but the individuality and confidence it was designed to celebrate.

SHOWCASE

SALON SELF LAUNCH

To celebrate the launch of Salon Self, co-founders Chloe Eckhoff and Hannah Wentz hosted an intimate trunk show to mark the occasion, sharing the story behind the creation of the Salon and their vision for its future. The evening was designed as an inclusive celebration and an opportunity for guests to discover the philosophy behind the brand while connecting with a community of ambitious, inspiring women.

Guests gathered to enjoy an evening of shared inspiration alongside a private shopping experience featuring visionary New Zealand brands Jasmin Sparrow and REBE, creating a thoughtful environment centred around creativity, conversation, and self-expression.

Born from the experiences of two full-time mothers stepping back into their working lives, Salon Self was created for the ambitious woman: a mother, a leader, a creator of her own path. The brand understands the realities of trying to fit it all in, and the feeling of often doing everything at half strength. At the heart of Salon Self is the belief that the way we dress each day holds incredible power. It is the underdog of self-care, capable of setting the tone for how we feel, rather than simply how we look.

Rather than chasing trends or encouraging overconsumption, Salon Self aims to thoughtfully do the heavy lifting for women through versatile, expressive pieces designed to simplify dressing while inspiring confidence and individuality. Most importantly, the launch celebrated bringing a sense of fun, freedom, and creativity back into the everyday experience of getting dressed.
