The name combines 'matt' (not shiny) and 'eau' (French for water), reflecting the brand's ethos of being simple and considered. Working between Noosa and Los Angeles, the duo has built a cult-like following among industry insiders and fashion enthusiasts. Originally focused on swimwear, Matteau has expanded to include seasonal essentials like dresses and lifestyle pieces. The brand is renowned for its classic styling, perfect fit, and commitment to timeless design that transcends trends. With a focus on sustainability and manufacturing integrity, Matteau creates products built to last through both durability and enduring aesthetic appeal. Their approach emphasizes quality over quantity, encouraging conscious consumption through pieces designed for longevity rather than disposability.
