ASSISTANT MANAGER - BONDI

CONTEMPORARY LEISUREWEAR |

• Brand Story

  Founded over a decade ago, this Australian founder-led leisurewear label has quietly grown into one of the country's most coveted resort wear brands, with a devoted following that feels as well-travelled as the brand itself. Boasting some of the most enviable retail postcodes across the country, the brand has stayed true to its core vision — premium, travel-inspired collections that capture that feeling of being somewhere beautiful. Known for refined linen silhouettes, considered fabrication and an offering for everyone, the product has found its way onto tastemakers without ever chasing the spotlight. The culture is collaborative, values-driven and genuinely relaxed in feel, while remaining commercially sharp in practice. This is the brand that sits at the top of every fashion lover's career wishlist — and for good reason.
