In this episode from our Sacred Spaces Series, sponsored by King Living, I sit down with the extraordinary Laura May Gibbs, the founder and creative visionary behind Nagnata, a Byron Bay-based sustainable fashion brand that is quietly redefining the industry.
A Store That Feels Like an Art Gallery
We recorded this conversation in Nagnata's flagship store in Byron Bay, a space that feels more like an art gallery than a retail shop. Designed in collaboration with the Pattern Studio, the store is a dreamscape of hand-carved timber pillars and curvaceous forms inspired by global architecture.
Serene and soothing by day, the space can transform after dark. With its LED lighting it shifts into something vibrant and energetic, so the room you browse in the morning is not quite the room you would find at night.
Rebellion, Yoga and the Path to Nagnata
In this intimate chat, Laura May opens up about her rebellious youth, her journey into yoga and bodywork, and the personal healing that shaped her career. That path through movement and the body sits at the heart of everything Nagnata makes, from the knitwear to the way the brand thinks about wellbeing.
Creativity, Sustainability and Staying True
We explore how Laura May balances creativity with sustainability, the emotional challenges of running a purpose-led business, and the lessons she has learned from staying true to her values in an ever-changing industry. It is an honest look at what it really takes to build something with meaning, and to keep it that way.
Get ready for a conversation filled with inspiration, honesty, and a glimpse into the world of one of fashion's most authentic innovators.
