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 on the Sunshine Coast, the label is shaped by an love of craft, movement and the imperfect beauty of things made by hand. Each piece is imagined through flowing silhouettes, natural fibres and intricate artisan details.
Designed in Australia and brought to life through close partnerships with skilled makers around the world.
We create in small batches, with limited runs and individually numbered pieces, so each one 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, not seasons.
We create on Kabi Kabi and Jinibara Country, and acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work.
Founder Note
“With Élan is a personal space for me - a way to explore my creativity and the kind of pieces I’ve always been drawn to: vintage silhouettes, a bohemian feel and natural fibres.
When people ask me to define the style of With Élan, I often 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 it might go. With Élan is growing and evolving with me.
There’s a kind of freedom in creating this way - following instinct, and allowing each piece to become what it’s meant to be.
What I can promise is this: 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 a sense of 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 you 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.
