Meet ELK: Australian Design with a Conscious Spirit
There’s something about living by the coast that makes you appreciate things that are made well.
Pieces that feel good in your hands. Clothes you reach for again and again. Beautiful things that don't need to shout to be noticed.
Here in Robe, we’re drawn to a slower, more considered way of living and that’s one of the reasons we love Elk.
An independent Australian label founded in Melbourne in 2004 by Marnie Goding and Adam Koniaras, Elk has built a beautiful reputation for distinctive design, thoughtful craftsmanship and a considered approach to fashion.
We’re very happy to have them here at Loaves and Fishes.
There is a quiet confidence to Elk's aesthetic. Interesting shapes, beautiful colour, considered prints and natural textures come together in pieces that feel modern, but never momentary.
They're the kind of pieces that work beautifully with the way we live here - relaxed, layered, practical and a little bit individual.
A Little Less, A Little Better
Living on the coast has a way of reminding us that we don't need quite as much as we think we do. Perhaps that's why Elk's approach to conscious fashion resonates with us.
Their focus is on creating products with enduring value - pieces designed to be worn, enjoyed and kept, rather than simply replaced when the next trend arrives.
Elk also continues to look for better ways to reduce its impact, exploring natural and lower-impact materials alongside improvements across manufacturing, distribution and waste. It isn't about being perfect. It's about being thoughtful.
And we think there's something rather lovely in that.
Why Elk Belongs at Loaves & Fishes
When we choose the brands and pieces that come into our little corner of Robe, we're looking for things that feel right.
Their Australian design heritage and thoughtful approach to fashion sit beautifully alongside the relaxed, coastal way of life we love here in Robe.
Think an easy linen layer for a morning walk along the foreshore. A beautifully structured bag for a day wandering the main street. A sculptural piece of jewellery that makes a simple outfit feel like your own.
These are clothes and accessories for real life. For salty hair, long lunches, weekends away, everyday adventures and all the little moments in between.

We're delighted to welcome Elk into the Loaves and Fishes collection and to share the brand with our local community and those who find their way to Robe from a little further afield.
