Story

Hey there,

Everything you see is designed in my small home studio, based in the beautiful Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand.

My Swimwear and the majority of my Women's Collections are made in Bali by a small Women lead Family business.  With a focus on natural and sustainable fibres, you will see fabrics like Pure Linen, Cashmere, and Organic Cotton reappear in each Capsule.  For our Swimwear we choose to use Repreve.  A certified, sustainable high quality ribbed fabric made from Recycled Plastic Bottles.

In the holidays and weekends I love to explore the beaches along our beautiful coastline with our five kids. If you’re travelling to our area I’ve started to compile a list of our favourite, kid friendly beaches. Check out Le Guide for my secret locals spots, plus great places to stop and eat along the way!

Recently, after experiencing allergic reactions to some skincare I began to research and develop my own range, Solitude.  When I learnt that some of the ingredients large companies were using contained hormone disruptors and chemicals that were actually toxic it pushed me to create a range that was as close to nature as possible.  Minimal ingredients of the highest quality and organic wherever possible. 

I have also been doing pottery in my spare time, often with my kids, and have made my extra pieces available online too under the Ceramics section.

My husband Chris is a Builder, you can find him at http://www.baybuilds.co.nz/

Everything I do is inspired by, and for my family and our coastal lifestyle.

Thank you for supporting Slow Fashion.

Love,
