About

Composing a world of colour through luxury collections that always carry a strong undertone of tropical resort wear, designers Meg and Mana are inspired by their surroundings and the island lifestyle of Aotearoa. 

For Meg and Mana, Cuda is a natural expression as women and as artists. Coming from their love of working together with colour, fabrics and the knowing need to express themselves. It is their read on and portrayal of what it means and feels like to be women. The way one loves and the experiences one has, are expressed through fashion and integrated as a part of everyday life

With a commitment to slow fashion, Cuda values quality over quantity. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and produced through a transparent and considered process. Based in Tamaki Makaurau, the brand works closely with New Zealand’s fashion community, while also collaborating with highly skilled artisans in India and China, to honour craftsmanship and the beauty of handwork. Embellishment, texture, and detail are key elements in Cuda’s visual language, giving each garment a unique, tactile story.
