Kawaii

Established in 2008 by designer Kristy Barber, Kuwaii is duly esteemed for making beautiful, intelligently designed clothing and footwear for women.
CLEOPATRAS BLING | JEWELLERY
Refined, detailed and romantic: form and function find accord in their timeless shapes, clean lines and impeccable tailoring. Their pieces evolve from environmental reflection and contemplation about everyday life, to become sartorial staples – classic pieces that evoke effortless sophistication, innate beauty and confidence.
Each article they produce is meticulously made to last and to be cherished. To this day, each Kuwaii item is proudly produced in Melbourne, Australia, within 15km of their design studio in Brunswick. Their footwear is made by one of the very last surviving footwear factories in Australia, with a team of amazing craftspeople taking up to a day to make a single pair of Kuwaii shoes. Everything we do is slower, more deliberate and more thoughtful.
Kuwaii is a brand built on values. In everything they do, they aim to be honest, fair and kind. These principles have a real impact on the way we make our clothes, the people they work with, and how they run our operations. Their stores can be found in Brunswick, Fitzroy and the Melbourne’s Cathedral Arcade
Their vision is to be an alternative to fast fashion, made locally and made with love.
