Kissin Cussin - sustainable & fabulous


I'm soooo excited to announce Ciao Meow is now an exclusive online stockist of this utterly gorgeous Australian fashion label. Not only are these girls brilliant designers, they also have a strong social conscience and design and manufacture their collections ethically and sustainably for the environment and all involved. As easy on your conscience as they are to wear, their clothes have an eclectic, colourful and playful style that we just LOVE at Ciao Meow!

They have also very generously made divine daisy headbands that come FREE WITH EVERY KISSIN CUSSIN PURCHASE at Ciao Meow! Woohoo! We love a freebie - do you need any other reason to shop??

Well check out these other gorgeous creations, available now...

Rimini Halter Maxi Dress - stunning, backless and very sexy. Grrrr!

Ama Shift Dress - a gorgeous peach & white print, this dress is fun and flirty.

Renu Mini Dress - love the frill shoulders, wear it off the shoulder to be a little more seductive. Meow!

Run by cousins Jess Brown and Hayley Maynard, the Kissin Cussin label began following work as volunteers in a small village in the south of Sri Lanka after the devastating tsunami struck and shattered its idyllic coastline. Their love affair with Sri Lanka began immediately - its colour, its beauty and its people. Realising they could do more for this tranquil yet economically repressed community, they combined their love of fashion to develop KissinCussin - a creative venture with unique production methods ethically and intrinsically linked to the people of Talalla Bay.

Weaving their outlook into their fabrics, they use quality cottons and natural fibres from India, supporting old-fashioned hand-printing methods in Rajasthan. Love represents the way that KissinCussin’s garments are made, by local ladies in a small village, tucked away in one charming part of our world. “The socially sustainable ethics behind KissinCussin are what we continue to stand for and work towards improving.”

Ahhh, we heart Kissin Cussin!

Happy shopping & ciao for now,
Ciao Meow xxx
