What's ahead for FENN : 2026
Balmy Summer evenings with my little friend
I’ve been making a conscious effort to ease into the year.
January is usually a time when life feels a little slower than the rest of the year, school holidays still in full swing, beaches busy, and my favourite part: no traffic. But in the final week of the month, I always start to feel the gentle pull of routine returning. I’ve seen proud parents taking photos of their children on their first day of school, kids smiling with excitement, with just an undertone of nervousness. There’s something very special about that kind of innocence.
When I think about what 2026 will bring for FENN, I’m reminded of those children, the excitement of what’s ahead, paired with a quiet sense of caution and curiosity. When reflecting on 2025; what worked, what didn’t, and what we might do differently, the feeling that kept surfacing was the importance of intention. To slow down, to be thoughtful, and to recognise how the decisions we make in the moment shape everything that follows.
What I can promise our community this year is a line-up of exciting, innovative brands from around the globe.
We’ve been building relationships with incredible founders whose research, integrity and dedication to formulation will bring something truly fresh to the shelves at FENN. Alongside this, we continue to refine our treatment menu, always striving to sit at the forefront of technology and touch, where advanced skin science meets considered, intuitive massage. It’s this balance that defines what we do.
At the heart of FENN is community.
An ever-evolving circle of thoughtful, curious people who care deeply about skin, craft and intention. The conversations, relationships and shared discoveries that grow from this space are what truly inspire us. Nurturing connection, curiosity and meaningful dialogue is at the core of everything we do, and I feel genuinely grateful to be on this journey with all of you.
And of course, I have to acknowledge my incredible team. Without them, FENN simply wouldn’t be FENN. I am endlessly grateful for their commitment, not only to FENN but to their own growth and careers. They are intelligent, motivated, and hardworking, and I see the care and passion they bring to everything they do.
I won’t give everything away just yet, there are a few more things up my sleeve that I’ll be sharing with you in real time. But for now, I sincerely hope you’ve all had a beautiful summer (it’s not over yet!), and I can’t wait to see what this year brings.
With love and hope for a prosperous 2026,
