Wild Coast Collective

Some people notice the lower-cut waistband and wonder why.

It was intentional.

To create a zero waste pattern, every panel had to work in harmony with the next.

By lowering the waistband, we were able to nest each pattern piece together more efficiently, dramatically reducing fabric waste during the cutting process.

Conscious design decision.

Together with emroce , we designed the Drifter Collection so every line, curve and cut had a purpose. Sustainability isn’t just about the fabric you choose it’s also how you put it together.

Less waste. More intention. 🌿

Digitizing our paper patterns .
out with the old, in with the (digital) new. 📐
Side note: that blue sample is Econyl, not low-tox — Cupro is our real low-tox move, and it’s on the site now. Zero waste designed, NZ made. Support small, follow along …

The gear that’s meant to make you healthier could be doing the opposite. PFAS — “forever chemicals” — leach out of synthetic activewear when you sweat. Linked to cancer and fertility issues. Your skin is your biggest organ. Thanks 9News for this great informative video 🌊

Splore Friday 💙

Snuck in a morning swim before the gates opened.
Cold water. Clear head. Reset complete.

By 2pm we were trading with Wild Coast Collective
sun on our backs, salt still in our hair, good humans rolling through.

After pack down we wandered.
Music humming. Bare feet. Big energy.

Work and play.
Ocean and community.
That’s the balance I’m building.

Who came and said hi? 💙
