A Cool Founder Shares Her Favourite Pieces & Wish List Items
All products on this page have been selected by our editorial team, however we may make commission on some products.
1. The Party Piece
“I wear a lot of beach or resort wear which I tend to dress up when I go out. The Boteh macramé pieces are perfect for summer parties. The Riva Skirt instantly elevates a classic bodysuit or tailored shirt, to make it feel more directional and chic.”
2. The Shoe
“The taller the better and I’m already fairly tall at 172cm, I’ve always been a wedge girl as I find they work so well with all of my resort pieces. I love a raffia flat-form or thong-style wedge. I have several Coperni pairs in wood, denim and raffia materials.”
3. The Swimwear
“For the beach, beach club and swimming, I like a bikini. I’m living in the Boteh Ambre bikini set right now. Made from a bubbly jacquard in a rich terracotta paisley pattern, it’s so comfortable and sits high on the hip. I wear one-pieces as bodysuits but only with my resort wear; I’ll rarely swim in them.”
4. The Dress
“While I’m much more into separates – they feel far more versatile to me – I have loved wearing the new Boteh Chablis Lace Dress recently. Lace is having a bit of a moment, which I think we will see continue for some time. This one is made from Italian cloque lace, which has a beautiful pattern and slight bubble dimension to it.”
5. The Bag
“I carry an artisan-made Bilum bag from Among Equals. They are hand-made by talented women in Papua New Guinea. Each piece is so unique and special. I have several in different colours and I match them to my outfit. For evening, I usually wear my Chanel bag, a little Loewe raffia bag or my denim velvet Fendi pouch. It depends on which wedge colour I’m wearing...”
6. The Jewellery
“I have a very special Marie Litchenberg necklace my family gave me for my 40th. It makes any outfit feel luxe. I also wear a lot of Maximova jewels and Athena & Co. They are both unique and work so well with my aesthetic.
7. The Cover-Up
“The Boteh La Ponche Frill Dress is our bestselling beach cover up. We just released it in the palest blue and it’s light and airy to wear in the summer heat.”
8. The Sunglasses
“I just live in my Velvet Canyon sunglasses – they are great quality and value. I have been collecting them in a range of shapes and lens colours over the years. My favourite shapes are L’homme and La Touriste.”
9. The Luggage
“I have a Samsonite. It's practical, I’ve had it for years and it’s so light – I’ve been really happy with it.”
10. The Essentials
“The Laura Mercier Petal Soft Lip Crayon in ‘Lea’ is the perfect everyday tone. I’m very natural with my make-up, so it takes a lot for me to actually wear a lip colour. My other ride-or-die is the Benefit brow wax – it’s a really great ‘barely there’ one. Colour 4 is not too dark.”

11. The Tool
“I’ve used the GHD Original Straightener for 15 years. I have frizzy Greek hair, so unless I’m in the Mediterranean salt water, I need to use the straightener to tame it through the humidity.”
12. The Suncare
“I love wearing the Charlotte Tilbury SPF Primer underneath my make-up in the summer. It’s light and not like other primers that feel heavy on your skin.”
13. The Scent
“I’m wearing DS & Durga ‘I Don’t Know What’ which is a fragrance enhancer that apparently works with your natural scent and can be layered with other scents. I just started layering ‘Radio Bombay’ with it. I’ve never had so many people ask about my fragrance. I wear the smallest amount, and it lasts amazing all day without being overpowering.”
14. The Book
“I keep a list of books specifically for when I fly. I mostly only read when travelling. Next I have my eye on Hot Milk by Deborah Levy as there’s a film adaptation on the way and I like to read the book before seeing the movie.”
15. The Cocktail
“Paloma margaritas really sum up summer for me. Grapefruit and tequila.”
16. The Tableware
“I have some colourful tin carafes we picked up on one of our Greece trips and we use them to display flowers for our table settings – they’re rustic and have a tiny Greek flag on them.”
17. The Hotel
“I’d love to stay at Montesol Experimental in Ibiza and the Regina Experimental in Biarritz. I stayed at the Menorca one last year and really loved the vibe. The interior colour palette and materials are curated in such a clever way yet doesn’t feel overdone. Paired back and considered in a very chic French-European way.”
18. The Lunch
“After spending six months in Spain and lots of years travelling there, I fell in love with our Monday night ritual of eating whole fish. Fresh caught sea bass or dorada (bream) at the Fish Shack in Ibiza is one of the best meals I've ever had. The Spanish cook it so simply, with lemon, local herbs and garlic powder stuffed inside the cavity. I’ve tried to re-create it here in Australia without much success but I will keep trying!”
