The Story of Camilla

Founded fifteen years ago in Sydney’s Bondi Beach by designer and artist, Camilla Franks, CAMILLA has captured the imagination of the world with its vibrant and bespoke bohemian lifestyle offering.

As a child, Camilla revelled in the boundless creativity and beach surroundings of Sydney. An artist at heart and with the soul of an actress, she started to create hand crafted pieces to wear between scenes – and from there the CAMILLA label was born.

Encompassing her love of travel, Camilla began to follow her heart to far away cities and off the beaten path communities. There she immersed herself into the worlds of the unknown and unexpected to draw inspiration for her collections year-upon-year.

A treasured item, every CAMILLA piece is hand-cut, every crystal is applied with precision and every print is placed by hand, and above all, made with love.

The CAMILLA wonderland showcases meticulous placement detail and artisan craftsmanship in women's, men's and kids' apparel and accessories as well as home and gifting.

CAMILLA has twenty boutiques throughout Australia and two in the United States, a successful online business and works with an impressive list of Australian and International stockists.

"My vision is to awaken the adventurous spirit that resides within all of us because we believe that everyone has a right to experience freedom and feel joy. We embrace all walks of life, as we believe it is everyone’s right to feel beautiful no matter their age, shape or race."

ROAD LESS TRAVELLED

Twice a year, Camilla travels in search of faraway beauty and cultures to inspire a CAMILLA collection. She immerses herself and documents their world and all it represents: their textiles, music, food, culture and their daily life.

Often with over 40,000 images, hours of footage, and many chests of treasures she has collected along the way, Camilla returns to Sydney to start the design process.
