The Kind Sunscreen
Ziah founded by Erika Toscano, offers authentic swimwear to honour the female form. A quest for truth and beauty, Erika was prompted to design a line of swimwear that celebrates the diversity of all women. Ziah’s timeless design manifests itself as a striking cut or unassuming curve that transcends categorisation. Crafted in Australia from the finest textiles, this label’s philosophy resists the fast-paced trend cycle, instead opting for a considered approach to life that prioritises the sensuality of how good-quality fabrics can feel against the skin. Ziah is working with the first biodegradable swimwear fabric in the world, is made in Australia and is only produced in limited quantities.
Loomes Marcel Adjustable Backless Silk Bra and brief in Black.
Founded by Angelique Loomes, the label redefines your own relationship with clothing. The label is centred on choosing wisely, then caring for your garments; repairing, re-using and repurposing each piece in honour of the resources used to create it, from both the earth and the time and care of a respected artesian in hand making it.
Founded by Cari Rou and inspired by the natural world, every Carou design is handcrafted in limited numbers, or made-to-order. The latest collection, The Dreaming Hour is now available online.
Founded by Rebecca Mckenzie and Holly Chandler, Passenger is an Australian slow fashion label offering a considered, core collection of versatile and refined pieces.
The Unseen Label, founded by Caitlyn Overell, this new Australian ethical label is challenging the norms of fast-fashion and the impact of body image disempowerment, and is celebrating diversity, our planet and everyone’s right to underwear.
Their underwear is inspired by all: him, her, they, you and offers not just one shade of nude, redefining the concept of ‘nude’ in a tribute to diversity. Refined essentials in many shades of ‘nude’, their underwear is made responsibly and 5% of profits are committed to providing new underwear to those struggling and in crises.
Laze.Res towels are designed in Noosa, Australia by sisters Alexa & Summer. The luxury towels feature the sister’s unique artwork, and are inspired by unconventional sources in the form of architecture, and the art of objects and new surroundings. Created ethically using traditional artisan techniques in a small family run business in Denizli, Turkey.
Laze.Res creates a feeling, a sentiment.
