Hi, I’m Charise — founder of Grace and August, a small family-run business based at the top of the South Island in beautiful New Zealand.

Grace and August was born from a simple idea: everyday items should be both functional and beautiful. I was tired of settling for bland, practical products that lacked personality — especially when it came to the garden and home. So, I set out to design pieces that people actually enjoy using and wearing.

From our signature pocket aprons to our stylish face masks, and now our new range of fun t-shirts for gardeners, everything we create is designed with care and a touch of flair. I believe that whether you’re planting flowers, picking herbs, or just relaxing outside — you deserve to feel good in what you wear.

Grace and August is for those who love thoughtful design, appreciate the small details, and want products that blend function with style.

Thanks for supporting our little brand — it means the world.
