Tailored is more contoured to the body (not tight fitting) with a curved bottom hem. Relaxed offers more room through the chest and waist with a straight bottom hem.

Relaxed fits slightly roomier through the body and shoulders than Tailored in the same size.

About the Artist

KAURI PRINT by Alana Spivey.

Alana has created a design that is representative of the Kauri’s textural leaves and overlapping branches. The branches dance around each other, like the canopy of the forest on a windy day.

Alana Spivey is a textile design graduate from Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand.

Originally from the Hawke’s Bay, Alana grew up amid her mothers’ dressmaking business. Constantly observing her mother at work gave her a strong foundation in designer-making and attention for detail.

Years spent travelling the world opened Alana’s mind to different ways of design and life, which has influenced the way that she approaches her work and new challenges that come her way.

Having worked in the retail fashion sector both here in New Zealand and overseas, Alana was delighted to see fashion brand, Kaleo, open in Kerikeri, the town that she now calls home.

Alana has always been drawn to botanicals, from gardening, to using plants for natural dye, and all forms of artwork. The Kauri tree is a giant of the forest, holding a lot of significance to many and an icon of the Northland region. Together with Christine, Alana has created a design that is representative of the Kauri’s textural leaves and overlapping branches. The branches dance around each other, like the canopy of the forest on a windy day.
