Fashion’s Favourite Fabrics: OFI (Only From Italy)

by Metropol | April 1, 2026 8:33 am


When you wrap yourself up in a world of beautiful, breathable fibres, you don’t need to wonder why this natural boutique has expanded across Canterbury to meet demand.

In addition to their sunlit central city location, plus three North Island stores in Havelock North, Napier, and Cambridge, OFI has introduced two new locations to their Canterbury clientele, in Rangiora and Ashburton. Expanding their presence comes down to popularity.

The brand, which means ‘Only From Italy’, stocks a beloved range of European garments made with premium natural fibres and Canterbury’s women can’t get enough.

A visit to any OFI store is a trip to sartorial heaven. Inside, curated clothing racks and seasonal colour palettes represent the care that comes with styling each customer. “We work with the concept of layering,” says business owner Wendy. “Start with the essentials like a light, breathable linen layer, and add a new-season New Zealand possum silk or merino to prepare you for Christchurch’s unpredictable weather.”

The latest seasonal collection leans into rich navy, forest green, and cocoa tones, complemented by soft blush pinks and sky blues. Subtle details and feminine elements make each garment a versatile piece in your wardrobe, taking you from work to weekend. “Our range is made to be worn in more ways than one, and we work with you to find the best fit for you,” Wendy says.

Whether you’re escaping to a warmer climate this winter or simply need a new wardrobe, invest in the benefits of an Only From Italy wardrobe in Cashel Street’s Guthrey Centre, 2b Good Street, Rangiora, or Ashburton from 18 April.
