KATE&FRANCES has moved!
We are now in Ōtepoti, Dunedin, Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Settling in our new space has taken a bit of time and there is lots to organise behind the scenes and also to re-aquaint myself with how the industry works here!
We will be at a few markets around Dunedin, & these will be posted on our instagram, so be sure to follow us over there as well!

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.

The Brand
KATE&FRANCES is a sustainable fashion brand, based in Ōtepoti, Dunedin, New Zealand, that creates comfortable, functional pieces.
Crafting styles that use pleating & tucks to create shaping in oversized silhouettes that flatter the body & allows a little playfulness in our everyday life.
Incorporating sustainability, identity & representation, KATE&FRANCES uses zero waste pattern drafting techniques, BIPOC models in their collection campaigns, & creates pieces that allow the wearer to express their own sense of self.
pieces made for movement, comfort & longevity
effortless, high quality fashion to maintain your sustainable lifestyle
