The idea behind ARETAE was born out of wanting to gift more intentionally.

Our aim was to curate a collection of pieces from both local
and international brands that are both elevated and have longevity in the home. Whether that be a hand-crafted ceramic vase, a beautiful set of wine glasses or a hardcover book, the hope is that the recipient will ideally keep the piece for many years to come. A deviation, if you will, from perceptively traditional
offerings that can often be void of sentiment or have a limited shelf-life. 

It has been important for us to select brands that hold values similar to ours, such as craftsmanship, quality, and ethical
production/sourcing. Some of our wonderful international partners include Blacksaw (Alpacca blankets made in Peru), Zalto (handblown wine glasses made in Austria) and Nathalee Paolinelli (handmade ceramics made in Canada). We then have some of our beautiful local Australian partners, Morris Motley (home and body care made in Melbourne), Fourth Street Home (objects for the home, designed in Sydney) and La Casa (homewares, also designed in Sydney).

We have such an incredible mix of brands, and we hope to continue to grow this network as we are forever inspired by craftspeople and artisans in both our backyard and around the world.    

In a world where people are time-poor and consumption-conscious, ARETAE seeks to be a solution for those who want to give with purpose, in both a seamless and timely manner.

We hope ARETAE will be a platform that can assist you, whether that be via the discovery of new brands and gifts for yourself or for those in your life whom you wish to celebrate or give gratitude.
