About Us
OUR ORIGIN STORY:
Kinga Csilla, born in response to a need for well-crafted, effortless womenswear that lifts the sartorial aesthetic of a day-to-day look and leaves only the gentlest environmental footprint.
Founded in 2016, after 10 years a designer in the Australian fashion industry, creative director and designer Laura Liles launched Kinga Csilla from a desire to create garments that allowed women to present effortlessly-cool everyday.
OUR PURPOSE:
We exist to actualise a graceful, effortless attitude into clothing. Adhering closely to our values, we make highly responsible use of the resources needed in clothing production and focus on designing collections according to global moods over trends.
We be believe that the tide should rise all boats.
We aim, to work with suppliers that pay workers the national working wage in their respective regions, their contracts permit them to unionise, our factories in India are vetted under HCCP standards to ensure sustainable workplace practices, and we regularly communicate with our workers the makers there to ensure they feel safe attending work.
Where suppliers are less willing to allow for sustainability / fair work audits we strive to keep communication as open as possible and always seek to find suppliers that pledge to pay fair and provide safe working environments.
THE HQ TEAM:
Our team in Sydney is a small group of kind hearted women dedicated to building a brand with integrity and purpose.
Kinga Csilla staff work both from our headquarters in Brooke Vale and from home.
Kinga Csilla understands that it's employees at are not defined my their jobs. We seek to encourage a healthy work life balance and allow for study, side hustles, pre-school pickups and the like.
This team continues to grow as it presents collections to the market in a spirit of generosity and considered style.
TECHNIQUE:
Our woven garment makers are from India, home to some of the most beautiful handiwork and talented craftspeople found on this planet.
We are fortunate and forever grateful for their skill and workmanship that allow for the timeless detailing that is the Kinga signature. Every collection is carefully considered in design and made slowly, with heart.
Our production is a time-consuming process where we allow our makers the appropriate time to complete their work, which we know is well worth waiting for.
Our Knit makers are from China. We communicate closely with the team there with a current focus to perfect our yarn mix, combining the right balance of recycled and regenerative materials.
