Tessa Lont & Monet Bailey-Ngatai

Fashion

Lontessa is a fashion label from New Zealand raised, Singapore based designer, Tessa Lont. Deeply immersed in the rich tapestry of Māori culture and the wild, magic beauty of her native New Zealand. Lont takes her inspiration from the lore of her people and thoughtful engagement with the sustainability of materials and the elevated life cycles of her garments. Lont. is a newer sub-brand run by Tessa’s daughter, Monet, and is based in Auckland, New Zealand.

Lont. takes the luxury designs and essence of Lontessa and adapts them into more accessible, everyday wear. The goal is to make the brand wearable while still maintaining its high-fashion roots.
