A local solution to a global problem.

Just Atelier is a local solution to a global problem of social and environmental waste in the fashion industry.

It is a design workspace set in Dunedin's historic warehouse precinct (world famous for our street art!) to bring together like-minded fashion innovators, including designers, technicians, and consumers, who are committed to justice, as well as great fashion.

Just Atelier is more than just a building. We provide the environment that connects and equips fashion innovators who love to create a better world.
