Kia Ora & Welcome to La Luna!!

La Luna is a NZ business & wholesome store - Selling handmade, ethical & sustainable goods, that are made with local ingredients and of course love! My name is Nadia and I am the founder of La Luna. La Luna started as a small instagram business, that grew out of a big dream! Passionate about making a change that really counts, La Luna strives to make Aotearoa a better place - one tiny step at a time. After a couple of months on the job, we started to grow... So the fantastic Elke (Mum) came on board as my business partner and we have been running La Luna together ever since!!

Since starting... La Luna has grown a WHOLE LOT! From originally being a small brand that sells a couple of home-made goods, to now expanding our own personal brand and being lucky enough to share with you goodies from other creatives around Aotearoa and the World!! 

A lot of people ask us, are we a solo brand, or a collective??? Well, I guess in many ways we are both! But 1st and foremost we are a brand, a handmade & NZ designed mother & daughter brand!! Designing and making a range of items for you and your home (from soaps made from scratch by us in our studio in Kumeu... to clothing designed collaboratively by us & Tina (Our Balinese Fashionista), and then made ethically in Bali! Yet.. we also like to support others, to celebrate individual artisans and to share all the incredible goodies we come across on our journey as La Luna (through creatives we meet and get to work with, to just cool things we see and wanna share with you all)... So over time, we have added to our website (that originally only stocked our personal brand)... to also start stocking a couple of other goodies!!   

So if you are looking for NZ made by us - Shop ‘La Luna The Brand’... and for extra ethically sourced goodness, you can shop ‘La Luna The Collective’... We also recently started selling second hand clothing & homeware, so for these you can shop our La Luna Thrifts!!

Whilst we may have grown... our ethos and social enterprise aspect remains the same, being at the heart of all that we do! A portion of each sale made, will go back into our local and nation wide communities, through donations to The La Luna Project! To find out more about where the money goes, have a look at our passion project page.  

SUSTAINABLE LIVING & CONSCIOUS CONSUMERISM 

Conscious Consumerism; The consideration, awareness and understanding of the social, environmental and ecological impact, of our own individual purchasing decisions 🍃

 Fast fashion is everywhere, it’s accessible & affordable - And something that over the years, has become the norm (I’m guilty of it, so there’s definitely no fingers being pointed here)... The truth is, being a conscious shopper isn’t always easy - or cheap for that matter. So here at La Luna, we want to make a change, by providing our customers with some slightly more sustainable alternatives... A way for us everyday folk to be able to purchase that one off, handmade and sustainable item... A way to give gorgeous old items a new life 🙌🏼

Arohanui, La Luna xx
