Every month Alida and Miller will interview their favourite creative people. They may be in fashion, design, food, retail or just hanging out at our place, they will all be someone we admire and who inspires us to be more creative ourselves. Our first team that we interviewed was ISLA Collective Byron Bay.
ISLA Collective.
Born, bred and based in one of Australia's most beautiful beach towns Byron Bay, the label ISLA Collective is a fresh take on basics. The ocean is where Katie and Ayla identify their style, where they spend their time together to find happiness and inspiration. Their pieces are the staples in your wardrobe. Hand printed stripes, soft denim and quality leather is their trade mark. With babies, husbands and households to run, they still find time to put out an extraordinary range for ISLA Collective. Natural and effective - simple & consistent, this sums up the girls clothing.
