Mahsa Willis

Our friend Mahsa is the founder and director of Mahsa, a label that holds an evolving reflection of her experience of the beauty and imperfection of life. Imbued with values of simplicity, authenticity and strength, the brand is timeless and sustaining — a love letter to women who live with open hearts and feel things true and tenderly. Living in Titirangi, she shares snippets of her life surfing, gardening, and designing beautiful things.

We are happy to share Mahsa's unique edit of five Everyday Needs pieces that she uses daily at work and at home.

1. Mahsa x Everyday Needs // Tama Shirt

The perfect shirt in an array of utilitarian, modern colours - it always makes me feel good. 100% organic cotton and made in Aotearoa. I cannot wait to travel in this shirt. 1

2. Franca Sunglasses // Tort

Well-made eye wear for a workday or surfing adventure. Timeless and discrete - a forever mood. 2.

3. Handcrafted Modern

My constant go-to. I appreciate this title and love everything that Leslie Williamson photographs and publishes - this is my absolute favorite. 3

4. Enamel Milk Pan

I use this every day, and it is the perfect size for one or two people. I have always loved enamel, and this design has a lovely pale wooden handle. 4.

5. Sans Barrier Restore Body + Hand Butter

I use this daily as my primary moisturiser for immediate hydration and overall skin nourishment. All-natural and made in NZ. Another local brand that is creating beautiful products for the world. 5
