Kia ora, everyone! J here from C&F Creation, and today I want to share something that genuinely excites me: our new collaboration with Jake, a talented engraving artist who’s about to bring a whole new dimension to our mirrors. You’ve probably seen or heard about custom engravings—like when Apple offers to personalise your AirPods—but imagine that same concept applied to a full length mirror or wall mirror in your home. Suddenly, it’s not just a piece of décor or a reflection tool—it’s an art piece with personal significance, crafted just for you.
Why Mirror Engraving?
At C&F Creation, we’ve always been about delivering the best quality mirror at the best price in New Zealand. But over time, we realised a mirror can be more than just something you check your outfit in—it can be a memorable statement, a special gift, or even a personal keepsake. A standard mirror is still fantastic, but by adding artistic engravings, you get something that’s truly unique and meaningful.
If you think about it, the idea’s similar to how Apple offers laser engraving on small devices. It’s a touch of personality that transforms an otherwise common product into something distinctly yours. Now, scale that up to a full body mirror or large mirror standing proudly in your living room—that’s a serious conversation starter!
Introducing Jake: The Engraving Maestro
Jake comes from a background in tattooing and engraving, bringing a flair for intricate designs that can be etched right onto the glass surface. When he first tested some designs on our Prism Octagonal Full-Length Mirror (170×70), we were blown away by the effect. The glass and reflective backing add depth to his work, so your eyes catch different details depending on the lighting and angle. It’s no wonder he’s built a reputation for turning everyday items into artistic showpieces.
What excites us is how far we can push this concept. Are you a fan of Māori-inspired motifs? Or maybe you’d like a floral theme that complements your bedroom décor? Whether you bring your own sketch or let Jake’s creativity run wild, the final result is something tailor-made for you—and only you.

Mirroring Apple’s Custom Approach
You might be familiar with Apple’s laser-engraving service for AirPods, iPads, and more. It’s a cool way to make those devices feel personally yours. Now, imagine that on a much larger scale (literally!) with a floor mirror or wall mirror nz style. Rather than a tiny text on the back of your device, you get a sweeping design that could include cultural symbols, personal messages, or just a pattern that speaks to you.
We believe that when you buy something truly special—especially for your home—it should reflect your personality. Engraving does exactly that. It shifts your mirror from a nice-to-have household item into a custom art piece that’s both practical and personal.
Our Vision: Beyond Basic Reflections
Our core mission at C&F Creation remains the same: deliver top-quality full length mirror nz products with distortion-free glass, sturdy frames, and an affordable price tag. But we also want to create mirrors that leave a lasting impression. A mirror engraved with your family crest, your favourite quote, or a one-of-a-kind design that only you own—that’s a different level of ownership than simply picking up a mirror off the shelf.
We’re thrilled to team up with Jake because he helps us bring this vision to life. While we handle the manufacturing—ensuring the glass is ultra-clear and the frames are robust—he provides the artistic layer, turning a normal product into a conversation piece. It’s a synergy that feels both exciting and rewarding: Kiwi craftsmanship meets Kiwi art, all in one mirror.
Ready to Make Your Mirror Unique?
We’re working on a dedicated landing page to showcase some of Jake’s engraving concepts on our full length mirror and wall mirror lines, including shapes like the Titan, Arcadia, or even that edgy Prism Octagonal. You’ll get a sense of how much coverage you might want—maybe a subtle accent on the corners, or a full-blown design that covers most of the glass.
Don’t worry if you prefer a simple, frameless look—we’ll always have those mirrors in stock for customers who just want a top-notch reflection. But if you’ve been itching to stand out, this is the chance to own a mirror that’s tailored to your tastes, culture, or imagination.
Final Thoughts
Ultimately, this collaboration with Jake is about taking a functional product—the mirror you use every day—and elevating it to a piece of art. It’s the same reason people get tattoos or customise their gadgets: personal expression. For us, that means you can still rely on our promise of solid manufacturing, honest reflections, and fair pricing, all wrapped in a unique engraving that you won’t find anywhere else in New Zealand.
Stay tuned for more details. We’ll be sharing progress photos, sample designs, and the step-by-step ordering process soon. If you’ve ever wanted to stand in front of a mirror that’s truly your own, combining function and art, we’d love to help make it happen.
