Our Story

A'COURT shows a collection of blouses, dresses and shawls, inspired by a passion for historical craft with a modern spirit.


Each piece is made using traditional men's fabrics and tailoring, with understated feminine details, evoking a sense of heritage. Equal parts refined and laid-back.


Founded by Rebecca Taylor, former creative director of the eponymous global brand, known for its feminine, vintage-inspired fashion.


In 2020 Rebecca moved home to New Zealand with her husband, the artist Wayne Pate, and their three children.


She began designing a collection inspired by New Zealand's raw beauty, the integrity of craft, and the heroines in her favourite
Victorian novels.
