Matteau
/matəʊ/
A portmanteau of ‘matt’ (not shiny) and ‘eau’, the French word for water.
Australian label Matteau launched in 2015 with a vision to craft refined resort wear rooted in simplicity, purpose, and longevity. Founded by sisters Ilona Hamer and Peta Heinsen, the brand champions a ‘less is more’ philosophy; one that informs every detail- from thoughtful silhouettes to conscious production. With a strong commitment to sustainability, Matteau designs with integrity, crafting clothing for all women and all bodies- offering classic silhouettes that transcend trends yet remain instantly recognisable.
“The Matteau woman isn’t really concerned with trends or what’s “in”. She is concerned with style, details and acquiring pieces that help her tell her story and make her feel confident.” - Ilona Hamer, Creative Director
Give a nostalgic nod to vintage wardrobes of summers past with Matteau's collection of staple dresses and simple separates. Offering a refined, minimalist aesthetic, and practical yet feminine appeal, dress to impress with crisp organic cotton poplin, soft cotton silk, and lightweight flowing crepe de chine.
