Our Story
With Élan was born from a desire to slow down and create with meaning – garments that feel like stories, not momentary trends.
Founded in Brisbane, our label is enriched in a love of craft, movement and the arcane beauty of things made by hand. Each piece is imagined with flowing silhouettes, soft natural fibres and intricate artisan details. Designed in Australia and brought to life through our partnerships with skilled makers in India.
We believe clothing should be more than beautiful – it should be thoughtful, honest and lasting. By creating in small batches, with limited runs and numbered tags, each piece carries its own story and feels like a one off – because it is.
With Élan exists for all kinds of people and bodies, made to be worn effortlessly and treasured over time. Our hope is that one day, someone will find your With Élan piece tucked away in your wardrobe – worn, loved and ready for another life.
We create on Yuggera and Turrbal Country, and we are proud to ship our garments worldwide.
A note from our founder
“With Élan is my personal journey of self-exploration – a space where I can freely explore my creativity and deep appreciation for vintage silhouettes, bohemian textures and natural beauty.
When people ask me to define the style of With Élan, I hesitate – not because I don’t know it, but because I don’t want to limit it. I’m letting the process guide me and not setting boundaries around where this might lead. With Élan is growing and evolving with me.
So, expect the unexpected – because that’s the beauty and joy of creating.
My promise to you – beautifully made clothing, crafted from natural materials and stitched with respect for every hand that brings it to life.”
Behind the name
With Style – Our style is not about trends; it's about timeless self-expression.
With Energy – From the hands of artisans who create our pieces, to the lives of those who wear them, we are here to inspire.
With Élan – Because life deserves to be lived with flair. “Élan” is more than a word – it’s a way of being. It's how you show up in the world, and it’s the feeling we hope you carry with every piece your wear.
Behind the logo
In an effort to create a symbol of invitation, togetherness and inclusivity, we blended the “W” from With and the “É” from Élan to create WÉ.
Our logo is more than just an initial – it tells a story.
It’s a small yet meaningful reminder that fashion has the power to bring us together.
