Abby King is the owner and designer of Abby King Handmade. An Oklahoma native, she works with various mediums to bring her creativity to life. She started wood carving in 2015 and eventually transitioned to jewelry making when she started experimenting with wood and resin.

CONRADO was founded by fashion designer Angela Sison. Angela has worked in the fashion industry in New York, California, and Paris. She grew up in the Philippines in her family’s textile factory and some of her earliest memories are of counting buttons and trimming thread. 

Angela treasures her upbringing in the Philippines and spent a lot of time thinking about how people would go from the city to the beach wearing the same clothes. She wanted pieces that transitioned without having to think. Pieces that are simple and sophisticated. Pieces that are seamless. She knew she wanted her fabrics to be natural and textured and thinks of her pieces as New England meets the Tropics with the effortless California vibe.

Key Brand Information:

• Angela works on all the patterns and chooses to use deadstock fabric that she searches for during her travels.
• Conrado styles are all limited in quantity due to the use of deadstock fabric.
• The pieces are produced in the Philippines in Angela’s mother's small family-run factory.
• Angela constantly travels to work closely with skilled seamstresses and pattern makers. A close relationship with their artisans makes for the superior quality of Conrado.

From the time she was a little girl, Jennifer Arago was enchanted by the art of design; the process of taking the purest artistic elements and molding them into something extraordinary. Today, as Chief Designer at David Aubrey, she brings that same passion to every piece of jewelry she creates. 

David Aubrey lines vary from delicate, meticulously assembled jewelry of monochromatic hues to larger, more vibrant pieces. Some collections are themed, whether romantic, vintage, tribal, or art deco. Each piece is painstakingly crafted with an array of raw materials, including plated and oxidized brass and white metal, semi-precious stones, vintage glass beads, Indian handmade glass beads, acrylic, and carved bone. 

The primary inspirations behind Jennifer’s designs are texture and color. She says, “Most of the collections start with one finding that excites me. I then gather materials that go beautifully with that first element. The goal is to strike that perfect synergy of shapes, shades, and textures and deliver distinct and unexpected combinations.” 

In styles ranging from sophisticated to whimsical, David Aubrey pieces are timeless—a bold statement for the moment as well as ten years from now. Jennifer is proud of the fact that her designs are revered by everyone from teenagers to octogenarians. All pieces are handcrafted in the U.S. by skilled artisans who share Jennifer’s passion for quality and originality. 

Devlyn van Loon is an eponymous line of clothing made by hand in Toronto, Canada. Established in 2016, the brand is dedicated to streamlined silhouettes and sustainable manufacturing to create modern essentials. They focus on fit, silhouette and feel to create garments that seamlessly integrate into your every day and become a second skin, omitting the fussiness of getting dressed without sacrificing comfort. 

Devlyn Van Loon’s ethos is that getting dressed should be an effortless and pleasurable experience. They believe that style need not be sacrificed to shop sustainably. Most of all, they believe that the importance of clothing lies not in how it looks, but how it makes you feel. 

Key Brand Information:

• They use sustainable, natural, or dead-stock fabrics sourced from North America, Europe, and Japan. 

Tired of staring into a wardrobe brimming with clothes, with a sense of having nothing to wear, or throwing out clothes that fall apart after a few washes, designer and founder, Alicia Tsi quit her full time job and set out to pursue her passion in fashion and create quality classics that made women feel beautiful in them.

After delving deeper into fashion supply chains, she uncovered a system that trains us to adopt a ‘disposable’ mindset - as we buy more and more products of low quality, and an industry that turns a blind eye to the high environmental and social cost of its production.

Esse was born out of a desire to redefine the way consumers approach fashion and interact with their garments by inspiring them to consider their garment’s purpose and lifecycle. They do so by merging elevated classics and timeless designs with social responsibility and environmental awareness to create investment pieces that are thoughtfully-made, whilst building a progressive supply chain and business model that encourages longevity, reduces waste, and champions transparency.

Key Brand Information:

• To reduce our impact on the environment, Esse makes their pieces from more sustainable materials like tencel, bamboo, and organic cotton, which use much less resources than conventional cotton and are less-polluting than oil-based fabrics to produce. They also use over-ordered fabrics from designers and fabric warehouses, allowing them to give second life to fabric that would otherwise be destined for the landfill.
• Esse selects each of their supply chain partners through a stringent set of criteria emphasizing product integrity and good business practices. They visit each partner personally to understand the production process and focus on building long-term relationships. Esse ensures that the workers at their factories work in a safe environment and receive benefits like guaranteed minimum wage, paid holiday leave, sick pay, and overtime pay.

Nisa is an underwear label and social enterprise founded by Elisha Watson in 2017, employing women from refugee backgrounds in their Wellington studio. For the Nisa team, a job is about so much more than a pay cheque - it's about making friends, practising English, and feeling like a valued member of a team. Elisha was working as a lawyer and volunteering with the Red Cross' refugee resettlement programme.  She shared a love of sewing with many of the women in the former refugee community, and the idea of setting up a sewing workshop to provide employment opportunities took form. Elisha quit her job, set up a crowdfunding campaign, and then went about the process of hiring her first employees, buying machines and looking for a sunny space to base the workshop.

Nisa’s dream is to build an alumni of 100 former employees who go on to inspire their own communities. For them, success is not just providing a first job in New Zealand, but in providing a first step in a long career.

The most eco-friendly garment in the world however isn't much good if it doesn't look good and last the distance. Nisa puts months of effort into designing, sourcing, and then making every new product they launch, with rigorous testing for both style and comfort.  This means, by the time a Nisa garment lands in your drawer, it'll be ready to be worn and loved for a long time.

Key Brand Information:

• Their briefs aren't just good for people, they're good for the planet. Nisa is proud to use GOTS certified organic cotton knitted in Melbourne for their briefs and bralettes.

Starting from seed up, a No Nasties garment is a labour of love - love for the planet, love for fellow beings, love for good design. All No Nasties products are made from 100% organic cotton in a fair trade factory following vegan principles.

Cotton farmers in India are committing suicide at an alarming rate of one every 30 minutes. There have officially been over 300,000 farmers suicides in the last 20 years - it's the largest number of suicides recorded in human history. Farmers have to bear the high costs of "modern" farming using genetically-modified seeds and synthetic farm inputs, while their yields and returns are unreliable causing them to be caught in a vicious cycle of debt where they feel their only escape is to take their own life. No Nasties looked at the current initiatives in India to address this issue and were glad to discover a solution in organic and fair trade farming practices.

No Nasties is very proud to be the first clothing brand to be Fairtrade licensed in India.
