It was the desire to create classic clothing for women that drove the two sisters Ilona Hamer and Peta Heinsen to found their own fashion house. Originally from Sydney, Matteau offers a clearly identifiable aesthetic, but with understated minimalist lines. The brand's swimwear and other clothing are the fruit of a responsible design process. In addition, the quality and durability of the pieces remain the Australian brand's mantra. Its philosophy is therefore based around simplicity. Each item is designed to last an entire lifetime with regard to the strength of the materials and the timelessness also found in the look. The Matteau silhouette is both modern, sophisticated and minimalist. The Heinsen sisters bring a feeling of lightness to their swimwear, dresses and other pieces in the collection. The Matteau woman is no fashion victim; she cares about her style through the brand's values, creative details and items that enable her to feel confident. With designs created to transcend the seasons and fashion trends, Matteau dresses modern women intelligently.
