Tonight we reached our $7,000 target for our 2026 Pink Ribbon fundraiser 💕🎀

And honestly… we are blown away.

From the bottom of our hearts — thank you.

Thank you to every single person who donated clothes, shared our posts, modelled, volunteered their time, donated prizes, attended the event, bought pieces on the day, donated online, or has continued supporting us since. Every little bit has added up to something truly special.

This wasn’t just an event — it was a community coming together with kindness, generosity, laughter, love, and support for a cause that touches far too many of us.
Because the reality is… we have all been affected by breast cancer in some way. We all know someone. We’ve all loved someone. And many of us have walked beside people through some incredibly hard battles.

To stand together and raise this amount for such an important cause means more than words can say.

And we’re not done yet 💕
We still have some beautiful pieces available on Marketplace, and donations are still open — so we’re hopeful we may even surpass our target in the coming days.

Thank you for believing in what we were trying to achieve.
Thank you for showing up.
Thank you for caring.

With love and gratitude,
Fleur and the The Ōreti Team 💕

Ps it’s not too late to Donate message me for our page. X

We are soooo close to reaching our $7,000 target for 2026 💕
If you’re able to help in even the smallest way, it would truly mean the world to us. Every dollar, every share, every bit of support makes a difference. 🥰
Sadly, this week I lost another very special person in my life to this horrible disease, and it’s a heartbreaking reminder that breast cancer touches so many of us. We all know someone, have loved someone, or stand beside someone who has faced this journey.
That’s why we do this.
For the fighters.
For the survivors.
For the ones we’ve lost.
And for the families left behind. 💕
Together, as a community, we really can make a difference.

Help me support New Zealanders living with breast cancer.
