Moments with Mari

Portraits; 31st July, 2024

Starring
Mari Jasmine
Born in Japan and raised in Australia, meet Mari Jasmine — a forever peony muse we adore. Currently residing between Philippines and Australia with her husband, little girl Noa and baby on the way, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Mari on set for our latest collection, Serenade.
A timeless wardrobe staple...

A heavyweight white cotton t-shirt and a well-fitting pair of jeans.

What are your warm-weather essentials...

Clothes made from breathable, natural fabrics and a hydrating lip balm with SPF. My favourite part of the day after spending time in warm weather is my evening bath - I have a little ritual that ends in using some body oil - I’m currently loving Breathless from Aesop.

Which vacation pieces are you drawn to at the moment...

I love a lace or crochet piece that can be worn over swimwear in the day or dressed up in the evening with some accessories.

Which vacation pieces do you choose time and time again...

I keep reaching for the same black or tortoiseshell shades for my trips - the sunglasses I’m currently packing is the Donna from Illesteva.

A destination you haven't been to yet but would love to visit...

I’ve had South Africa and Denmark on my bucket list for a while now.
What travel rituals do you share as a family?

Sometimes we make it a point to spend a day without our phones. It allows us to enjoy our company without distraction, and we are inevitably more present and spontaneous. Also, since our daughter Noa started eating solids, she’s been able to try a new food every time we’ve travelled to a new place, which has been really fun (and often entertaining).

How is travelling with a little one in tow?

Travelling with an infant has its challenges, but it’s incredibly rewarding to see her thrive in and enjoy different environments. We love creating new memories with her, and it’s amazing to see her learn and absorb new skills with each trip we take.

What are you watching/listening/reading at the moment?

We’ve recently discovered Apple Radio and have enjoyed listening to ABC Jazz. There’s something comforting about hearing a bit of talk radio in the background in between songs.

And finally, your favourite pieces from Serenade?

I love the Rosette print on the Memento Maxi Dress, it has such an elegant cut that falls beautifully on the body. I’m also partial to the Slip Maxi Dress which is a classic design that can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.
