St. Agni
Australia · Est. 2014 · Mid-range
St. Agni is an Australian minimalist designer clothing and accessories label for women, founded in Byron Bay in 2014 by Lara Fells and Matt Fells. The husband-and-wife team came from retail backgrounds and started with no business plan and little savings, after noticing a gap in the market for simple, well-made leather goods without the fuss. The studio lives by a "less is more" philosophy, exploring contemporary dressing through considered design and precise tailoring. St. Agni launched with four styles of leather tote bags, then added handmade woven leather footwear developed with Indonesian artisans and moved into ready-to-wear. Today it offers dresses, knitwear, tailoring, shirts, leather jackets, shoes and bags. Much of its clothing is made in China, with some pieces made in India, under its supplier code of conduct. The label emphasises quality fabrics and supply chain transparency, using organic cotton, RWS-certified wool, recycled fibres, linen, silk and leather in pieces designed to last. St. Agni has five Australian stores in Byron Bay, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane and sells through more than 90 retailers worldwide. In 2019 it introduced a knitted-leather technique for its footwear, and it celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2024.
