Not your average designers.
Our story
The talented duo behind Enchanted Encore are Katrina Flynn and Arianne Hall.
Katrina has a Diploma in applied fashion design and technology, interned for Carla Zampatti, has worked as a design assistant, seamstress and more.
Arianne has a Diploma in Fashion Design, Advanced diploma in live production (costume design) and did work experience at Opera Australia and Fox studios for the show The 100.
Katrina and Arianne worked together in a factory and decided to join forces to create their own brand which would become Enchanted Encore.
Today, they work on the South Coast of NSW, Australia, creating one-off pieces for clients all over Australia.
Stitched with care
The goal of Enchanted Encore is to make high quality products with a sense of both joy and whimsy.
Katrina and Arianne love to create or give new life to garments that have passed their prime to further their longevity.
Where possible, the Enchanted Encore team source materials from thrift stores and collect donations from the local community as to not put further strain on the environment by recycling what has already been made and discarded, thus creating a much more sustainable product. Any textile scraps remaining are also recycled so nothing goes to landfill.
When Katrina and Arianne do have to purchase fabrics they try to only purchase natural fibres that they know will safely break down in the environment at the end of their life.

“Katrina and Arianne rescued me with last minute bridesmaid dress alterations before an overseas wedding. They calmed me down and knew exactly what to do to fix things and did it beautifully. The bride never had to know! ”
