about ajk

AJK started as a place for me to share designs, experiment with textiles and an excuse to make clothing for friends. Over time, designs developed and AJK outgrew pushing her bed up against the wall to cut orders, sewing sets after sets on a worn out machine. Our collections are now made by a small team across New Zealand, Hawai'i and Los Angeles.

I believe sustainable and ethical practices are non-negotiable when starting any endeavour. So, as demand grew, the focus on these practices became even more important. Today, AJK designs pieces made from fabrics that prioritise lower environmental impact. We are particularly passionate about organic hemp and how it can be used to push the boundaries of sustainable fashion.

Our designs focus on timeless staples that combine comfort and style, versatile silhouettes embrace endless style over fleeting trends. Each piece is crafted with longevity in mind. Created to be worn, washed, lived in and loved. 

 

Our clothing is made by people who share our values in ethical and sustainable practices. Our collections are an extension of the belief that what you wear should be comfy, beautiful, inclusive, made ethically and with respect to people and planet.
