Gather is a thoughtful little home goods and gallery store based in Currumbin on the Gold Coast, Australia, with a strong emphasis on raw, crafted and botanical. Gather values authenticity and integrity in the way items are produced and appreciates and celebrates the imperfect beauty of hand made objects. The team at Gather 'salutes' true craftsmanship and wherever they go, they seek artists and craftspeople who produce truly gorgeous things and 'gather' them in their shop close to the sea.

The Wild Swim is an Australian sustainable swimwear label using only the highest quality eco-friendly fabrics - either ECONYL® or REPREVE®, two types of regenerated material made from plastic bottles, fishing nets, and other discarded nylon waste that has been found in the ocean. All pieces are made by a team of absolute legends in Bali, Indonesia. The Wild Swim ships orders using a compostable mailing bag. This means that once you receive your order, you can dispose of the mailing bag by either putting it in a compost bin or ripping it up and placing it in your garden where it will decompose and turn into worm food!
