A Maniatoto name, a Dunedin bench, a national stage.

Katherine is of the Inder family, known out here in the Māniatoto — and we go back a long way with her. We first met when she and Lucy Girvan, of Eweburn Creek, were selling their work side by side on Ranfurly’s main street, before we’d even finished renovating the Lohi building. The two of them came through the same Dunedin fashion school, and both found their way back to telling Central Otago’s story in cloth.

Katherine designs and sews her label, Katherine Anne, herself in Ōtepoti / Dunedin — conscious, made-to-order pieces built in tonal collections, the kind you add to slowly and keep. In 2025, through the Kāhui Collective, she made her debut on the New Zealand Fashion Week runway. Launching a label from the deep south isn’t the easy road — most of the industry sits up north — which makes the achievement hers all the more.

Blue Skies.

Katherine’s very first collection, Blue Skies, was inspired by the Māniatoto she comes from — the place where her label began. There’s a fitting poetry in it: Māniatoto means plains of blood, for the dry, red cast of this high country, and from her first collection onward Katherine has carried that landscape into what she makes. It’s the same instinct that runs through Lohi, which is part of why her work sits so naturally beside ours.

“The Maniatoto sky, on a national runway.”

Fashion that makes room for everyone.

Katherine Anne is built on a conviction the industry too often ignores: that beautifully made, considered clothing should be designed for real women across a full range of sizes — not as an afterthought, but from the start. Her made-to-order pieces are cut to fit and to last, a quiet challenge to fashion’s narrow ideas about who gets to be dressed well. It’s principled work, and we’re proud to carry it.

Why she belongs under our roof.

Katherine is the Māniatoto made good — a local name who took this landscape to the national stage, and a maker who, like us, turns Central Otago into something you can wear. Conscious, made-to-order, built to keep: her values are ours, and her story began on the same small street ours did.
