SLIQUE

Slique was founded by five teenage girls on a mission to create healthy, stylish, and sustainable hair care for everyone.

As students, we struggled to find a fast, affordable product to tame flyaways without sacrificing hair health. That’s why we created the Slique, a hair product designed for all hair types, infused with castor oil to nourish while it styles.

Available in Coconut & Vanilla, Watermelon & Strawberry, Tropical Glow, and a Glitter Stick range, Slique combines fun with function. We proudly use eco-friendly packaging, avoid plastic, and ethically source organic ingredients.

Slique exists to elevate the everyday, proving that luxury is found in products that care for you, your hair, and the planet.

Star Stitch

We are StarStitch, a fashion brand founded by three Year 13 students from Diocesan School for Girls. We create hand-stitched hoodies that blend style, sustainability, and meaning.

Each hoodie features three star patches, representing the loved ones we’ve each lost to cancer. Inspired by the Māori belief that loved ones who have passed on become stars in the night sky, our designs honour those who’ve passed before us.

We upcycle pre-loved materials from op shops, making each hoodie one-of-a-kind and eco-conscious. Every stitch is done by us, with care and attention to detail.

Wear the stars, carry the story.
