What do you get when you mix a sewing machine, a stall in Bondi market and a wild love for the ocean?

You get KIVARI , one of Australia’s most beloved fashion labels, founded by the incredibly grounded and quietly powerful Kirstin Lee known as Kiki.

Today, Kirstin joins me to share how she went from working as a radiographer to selling handmade leather pieces at local markets and eventually building a fashion brand with 12+ boutiques across the country and a global following.

We talk about what really goes into building a label from scratch, the messy middle, the self-belief, the creative risks, and the inner resilience no one sees on Instagram.

If you're dreaming of starting something of your own, this episode is your permission slip to begin even if it starts with a single stitch.

Let’s dive in.
