Brother-sister duo, Shereen and Ryan Barett founded Hide The Label to create effortless silhouettes that “fit well, last longer and can be worn by every woman, every season for every occasion”.

“Ryan and I have been working in the fashion industry for over 15 years and realised how damaging it was. We wanted to start our own brand that did things differently. Ryan is a model and was on a shoot when a stylist asked him to ‘hide the label’ of the garment he was asked to wear as it didn’t fit in with the other designer clothes being shown. We thought it would be a good name for our brand as we don’t believe in ‘labels’. You should buy items you love that fit well and last a long time, not because of the designer tag,” shared Shereen in a media interview.

Hide The Label’s  ethos centers around consciously designed, quality-made & timeless styles that incorporate vivid prints and sustainable materials to give you a wardrobe that has longevity and ‘wearability’.
