ELCE

ELCE

ELCE traces back to a small swim shop that Laura Sheather opened in Seminyak, Bali, in her twenties, long before she teamed up with Tara Mitchell to relaunch the label from Sydney. The pair kept the label's Bali roots and wanderlust attitude but rebuilt it as an Australian resortwear brand built around fluid, easy-to-wear cuts and a stated commitment to sustainable production.

Trousers and shorts

This is where ELCE's resortwear instincts show most plainly: loose, breathable shapes designed for a life spent moving between beach towns, not a desk. The cuts favor drape over structure, which tracks with a label that grew out of swimwear rather than tailoring. Nothing here is fighting the body, it is built to travel light.

Tops and shirting

Shirting that leans breezy rather than crisp, in keeping with a brand whose first store was steps from the water in Seminyak. The silhouettes are relaxed on purpose, meant to layer over swim or stand alone once the sun goes down. It is resortwear that still remembers it started as a swim label.

Dresses

Dresses are ELCE's clearest throughline from its Bali-shop beginnings to its current Sydney-run operation, easy, fluid shapes that do not ask for much fuss. The label has always positioned itself around wanderlust, and these pieces are built to actually be worn while traveling rather than just photographed against a backdrop. Sustainability claims aside, the cut is the real selling point.

More from the collection

The rest of the assortment rounds out ELCE's resort-to-real-life range, pieces that make sense whether the label's customer is still island hopping or back home wanting the same ease. It reflects how far the brand has come from a single Seminyak storefront to multiple flagship locations and international wholesale. The throughline is comfort first, styled second.

Our honest take

ELCE's founder-to-relaunch story, a Bali swim shop rebuilt into a global resortwear label after a move to Sydney, gives it a more grounded origin than most labels chasing the same wanderlust aesthetic. The clothes deliver on ease more consistently than they deliver anything genuinely new in silhouette. Still, for resortwear that actually looks like it was designed near a beach rather than imagined from an office, ELCE holds up.
