A brand steeped in the air of cool, calm and collected, BLANCA marks an exciting new chapter with the opening of its doors in The Galeries. The Sydney-based contemporary womenswear label launched as an extension of the popular Reliquia Jewellery brand, coinciding – unpredictably – with the pandemic. Envisioned by Creative Director Ana Piteira, the brand's aesthetic has always been built on comfort and ready-for-anything versatility, aptly the outfits we were seeking at the time. Soft pants, oversized shirts, and boyfriend-style blazers were very much the vibe – and the core of the label.

The BLANCA woman is multi-faceted – perhaps the true multi-hyphenate. Balancing career, home, family, friends and to-ing and fro-ing between responsibilities, her wardrobe relies on preparedness at all times. Through the evolution of the brand, this practicalness has been an unbreakable thread. Suiting is worn separately or as a total look, updating an outfit for the home, office or date night, while shirting feels put-together enough for work and moonlights as a beach cover-up – or pyjama, if you're so inclined. Colour and pattern (stripes, florals, statement checks), textural touches and peeps of subversive sheers add a self-expressive flavour. It’s low-maintenance and wear-anywhere with your personality front and centre. 

The fresh-faced concept store exists to serve this customer in a brick-and-mortar setting, expanding beyond the original Bondi Junction location and creeping into the CBD. A lunch break pit-stop and weekend must-visit, it's not only a destination to try, admire and purchase BLANCA pieces in real life but a full-look adventure – spy Reliquia Jewellery's RJC-certified recycled gold and silver accessories alongside. Known for cult-status star sign necklaces, staple hoop earrings and finishing touches for the fingers, the established label has mass appeal. 

Explore the beauties within, boosted by a bespoke fit-out designed with the team at Aterre. Clean, inviting and minimalistic, it's a mental break and a wardrobe update. You're guaranteed to leave with enviable style.
