Products and positioning

Knitwear is at the core of the range. The brand designs seasonless pieces intended to be modern and timeless rather than trend-driven, working mainly with natural fabrics such as merino wool, organic cotton, bamboo and linen. Most garments are made in Australia.

Over time the offer has expanded into:

  • Kidswear
  • Footwear
  • Leather bags
  • V&W HOME homewares, made with artists and designers

Distribution

The brand sells through its own boutiques and online. It has steadily expanded its store network, with openings including Karrinyup in Perth and locations in Sydney, and runs a clearance outlet in Cremorne.

Why it matters

Viktoria & Woods is an example of an Australian womenswear label that has grown from knitwear into a broader lifestyle offer while keeping local manufacturing and natural fibres at the centre of its positioning.
