these are limited prints, and we're working to have more available & to have these on the website.

we also have an elastic waist legging available too!

collection 8.0

We also have a new collection!

This collection is all about adjustability and our clothing can adjust to our bodies, which are constantly changing.

My favourite piece is the oleta dress which I was wear-testing throughout the Vancouver summer last year, and into the NZ summer this year!

This collection is made from 100% organic cotton shirting, so this is a different fabrication from what you are used to. It's a woven, no stretch, but plenty breathable, lightweight and washes so easily, which makes it great for travelling.
