So I think the Aussie-Kiwi collaboration is one of the best in the world! (hey, I’m marrying a kiwi so any offspring will be an Aussie-kiwi collab haha. TMI? Soz) Anyway, this today’s feature label, Leina Broughton is just that – a great Aussie-Kiwi collaboration and two of the three superstars that run this Queensland-based brand are, in fact, kiwis!
Fleur Richardson, one half of the amazing team, was my boss at Sacha Drake for years so I know that anything Fleur has a hand in is going to be AMAZE! Combine Fleur’s magical touch with a designer (Leina herself) whose vast experience in the fashion world has given her an incredible set of design and construction skills and you’ve got an edgy, wearable, fun, affordable label that’s made in Australia for awesome Aussie and Kiwi women like you and I!
So without further ado, here are just a few of my fave pieces!

So why is this Kiwi-come-Aussie label so fab? Several reasons:
1. It’s MADE IN AUSTRALIA – this means a whole lot to many people, support the Aussie (and NZ) fashion industry by buying locally if you can!
2. The Fabrics: Neoprene is a biggy in the latest collection – it kinda feels like wetsuit material but a whole lot softer! It’s super-flattering as it has structure, but doesn’t cling (the dress, jacket and artist’s top I’m wearing are ALL in this fabric)
3. Leina and the team REALLY think about you! The whole team are constantly thinking about who their customer is, what their life is like, and what they want out of a garment. The fabrics are wearable and more importantly, machine washable! The fits are flattering yet flexible so no matter what shape you are, most styles will flatter you and the designs are edgy and sophisticated – yet wearable in every day life! What more could you want?
Leina Broughton is available to purchase online and at these stockists in Australia and ONLINE only in NZ so make sure you get out there and check this label out! They’ve definitely got a new follower in me.
Have you discovered a new and exciting label that you love? I’d love to hear about it – tell me in the comments below!
Until next time,
In Style & Always,

After reading your post on Monday, I went to Leina Broughton website and bought the Cowl Wrap dress in a black and white print from their online store. It arrived yesterday and it looks amazing!! I’m a size 14-16 with quite a large bust and it is so flattering – makes my bust look smaller and my tummy look flat!! I wore it today and had a ton of compliments – thank you so much for your posts and recommendations, because of you I’m having a very happy day :))
Oh Karin, that is SO amazing to hear! I’m glad you love the label as much as I do and that you feel amazing in it – keep up the good work xx
I love the black dress! So classic and stunning, looks like it would be perfect for so many occasions (and the races!). And those shoes! X
oh thanks chick! it would look sooooo good on you (and yes, perfect for the races)! How awesome are my Target shoes haha xx
Thank you Caitlin for such a fabulous review! You are such a gorgeous ambassador, and we just love seeing all your pics 🙂
