Eco Conscious Styles that Honour Craft
With Élan is proudly crafted in India, in partnership with suppliers who share our values. Every stitch carries the story of skilled artisans and time honoured techniques – a living craft passed down through generations.
We are deeply committed to transparency – from the fibres we choose to the hands that make each piece. Our fabrics are chosen not only for their beauty and comfort, but their gentle impact on the earth.
By releasing only a handful of new designs each year, we aim to make sure that every garment is rich in meaning, light on the planet and woven in purpose - supporting artisans while helping preserve their traditional craftsmanship.
Timeless by Design, Slow in Nature
Embracing the ethos of slow fashion, we do not follow the industry’s fast paced calendar. Instead, we design and release our garments one at a time - once they are complete.
Each piece is intended to be a timeless investment in your wardrobe, not a fleeting addition. We believe in conscious consumerism – in clothing that carries value far beyond its price tag. This is why our pieces are rarely discounted and never rushed.
Once a garment is released, it stays with us until it naturally finds it home – no deadlines, no clearances, just mindful production and appreciation of craftsmanship that goes into creating each piece.
Transparency in Every Thread
We believe you deserve to know the story behind your clothing – not just where it is made, but how and by whom. From the origin of fabric to the hands that bring each garment to life, we aim to share it all. We work with makers who reflect our values and are proud to share the journey of our pieces.
On our website, each With Élan garment includes details about its material, origin and production – so you can wear it with confidence, connection and pride.
Limited Runs, Made with Intention
We create in small batches - always. Each With Éan piece is part of a limited run - carefully produced, never overstocked and made to hold meaning.
We intentionally limit our production to reduce overproduction and promote the idea of buying less, but better. Often, we offer garments on pre-order to reduce waste and ensure we are making only what's truly wanted.
We do not offer wholesale and we keep everything direct – this is so we can minimise our footprint, stay close to our customers and honour the work that goes into every creation.
Fewer pieces, more meaning - that’s our kind of luxury.
Packaging with Purpose
We understand that packaging is often discarded after a single use, which is why we ensure all our packaging and printed materials are designed with the environment in mind. We focus on using reusable, recyclable and compostable packaging wherever possible.
Our thank you cards are handmade in Australia from recycled office paper and offcuts from printers and paper mills. Each card is embedded with seeds from Australian farms, so rather than being discarded, it can be planted. As the paper naturally composts, the seeds bloom into something new – a quiet continuation of its story.
Our mailers are also made in Australia, using 99.9% recycled, FSC-certified paper and printed with water-based, non-toxic inks. Labels, stickers and shipping slips are 100% plastic-free, home compostable and thoughtfully sourced. To finish, we use natural hemp cord for our swing tags - a renewable and biodegradable alternative.
Please note: Our seeded cards are only available to customers within Australia. International customers will still receive sustainable, recyclable and compostable thank you cards - just without the seeds (for customs reasons).
We are proud of the steps we have taken, but always open to doing better. If you have ideas, feedback or suggestions on how we can improve our products or packaging, we’d love to hear from you -hello@shopwithelan.com.au
We are always growing.
