ELK the Label Australia – Dresses, Tops & Accessories

ELK the Label clothing is built around strong shapes, original prints and fabrics chosen for the way they fall on the body. The Weekends collection moves from organic cotton T-shirt dresses and fluid printed tops to sheer shirts, wide-leg pants, merino knitwear, footwear, jewellery and structured bags.

The distinction between these pieces matters. An organic cotton Haki Dress holds a relaxed A-line shape, while an ECOVERO™ viscose shirt or dress moves more fluidly. A sheer chiffon shirt is designed for layering, and a wide-leg printed pant creates an entirely different proportion from a straight everyday trouser.

ELK Dresses for Different Ways of Dressing

ELK dresses range from straightforward organic cotton jersey shapes to fluid shirt dresses and more directional occasion pieces. The collection is useful for women who want room to move but still care about where the garment is shaped, how the print sits and whether the fabric falls or holds its line.

The Haki Dress

The Haki is one of ELK’s recognisable dress shapes. It has a regular fit through the bust before falling into a relaxed A-line silhouette, with an inverted box pleat at the back creating additional room. Short sleeves with fixed rolled cuffs and side-seam pockets keep the dress practical rather than decorative.

The current Landskap Night version is made from 100% organic cotton jersey. Its dark painterly print carries most of the visual interest, while the familiar T-shirt neckline keeps it easy to wear. The same Haki shape also appears in other ELK prints, allowing women who know the fit to return to it in a different colour story.

ELK Shirt Dresses

The Malo Shirt Dress provides a more fluid alternative. Its extended shoulder, concealed front placket and easy A-line body are cut from a LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend. Fine pleating through the back adds movement, while the removable rouleau belt lets you choose between a straighter silhouette and greater waist definition.

Other shirt dress shapes within the Weekends collection include the Nidra and Gia. Compare the sleeve length, collar, belt and fabric before choosing: two printed shirt dresses can sit very differently when one uses a fluid woven fabric and another has greater structure.

Printed and Textured Dresses

ELK also produces dresses in sheer, textured and metallic fabrics. The Reihen Dress uses striped burnout texture, while the Lumii Dress combines black with a gold finish. These pieces have a different role from an organic cotton T-shirt dress and should be considered according to fabric transparency, lining, sleeve coverage and the occasion for which they will be worn.

ELK Tops and Sheer Shirts

The Weekends range of women’s tops includes organic cotton T-shirts, fluid printed blouses, sheer shirts and tops designed to coordinate with matching dresses or pants.

The Haki Short Sleeve T-Shirt uses the same 100% organic cotton jersey and Landskap Night print as the Haki Dress. Its batwing shape provides room through the upper body, but the round neckline and regular length keep it recognisably a T-shirt rather than an oversized tunic.

The Geden Top creates a softer line in a LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blend. Its A-line body, wide raglan sleeves, back-tuck detail and side splits allow the fabric to move over the torso and sit cleanly over the hip. This is a useful shape when you want to leave a printed top untucked without it ending in a rigid horizontal line.

The Eir Shirt has a different purpose again. Made from lightweight viscose chiffon with a crepe texture, it is deliberately sheer and works as a printed layer over a camisole or tank. Its relaxed fit and high-low hem provide coverage without making the shirt visually heavy.

ELK Pants and Printed Separates

ELK pants often use print, volume or fabric movement to become the focal point of an outfit. The Arlowe Pant has a flat front waistband, concealed side zip, front pleats and a wide leg cut from lightweight ECOVERO™ viscose crepe.

The tailored waistband keeps the upper section controlled before the fabric opens into the fuller leg. Wear a pant of this shape with a simpler top when you want the print to lead, or choose its coordinating shirt when you prefer the uninterrupted effect of a matching set.

The Vaalli Pant provides another printed option, but it should not be treated as an identical fit. Check the rise, waistband construction, leg width and garment measurements on each product page before comparing two ELK pants.

ELK Knitwear and Cooler-Weather Layers

The Ellora Sweater is made from 100% merino wool in a fine knit. Its boat neckline, long set-in sleeves and ribbed trims create a neater shape than ELK’s fuller woven tops. It can sit beneath a jacket without the bulk of an oversized jumper or be worn over a collared shirt when another layer is required.

ELK’s seasonal knitwear changes in colour and fabrication, so check the fibre content rather than assuming every sweater provides the same warmth. Fine merino, cotton knitwear and blended yarns will behave differently when worn alone or layered.

ELK Jewellery, Bags and Shoes

ELK accessories are not merely an extension of the clothing prints. Their jewellery frequently uses shape, colour and unusual surface treatments to alter a plain neckline or knit, while the bags combine distinct materials with practical internal organisation.

The Jule Choker uses iridescent glass elements on a fine mesh chain. Its shorter adjustable length positions the colour at the neckline rather than over the body of the garment. Matching clip-on earrings and a bracelet make it possible to choose one element or repeat the finish across several pieces.

The Vel Crossbody Bag combines recycled polyester velvet with remnant cow leather. Its adjustable detachable strap allows it to sit across the body or on the shoulder, while the lined interior includes two pockets, one of which is zipped. This makes it a compact bag with actual separation for smaller belongings rather than one undivided compartment.

The Weekends collection also includes ELK platform loafers and buckle sandals. Browse our wider accessories collection to compare jewellery, scarves and bags from other labels.

How Does ELK Clothing Fit?

There is no single ELK fit. The Haki Dress is regular through the bust and relaxed through its A-line body. The Geden Top falls away from the torso, the Eir Shirt is relaxed and designed for layering, and the Arlowe Pant is fitted more precisely through its tailored waistband before widening through the leg.

The current Weekends range includes selected clothing from size 6 to size 20, together with alpha-sized and one-size accessories. Not every garment is produced across that entire range. Use the measurements and fit description supplied for the particular piece rather than assuming that your size will remain the same across a jersey dress, woven shirt and tailored pant.

What Fabrics Does ELK Use?

The current collection demonstrates why fabric should be considered alongside print and shape:

• Organic cotton jersey gives the Haki T-shirt and dress breathable softness with enough body to support their relaxed shapes.
• LENZING™ ECOVERO™ viscose blends create fluid movement in selected tops, dresses and pants.
• Viscose chiffon provides the light, sheer character of the Eir Shirt and is intended to be layered.
• Merino wool gives the Ellora Sweater lightweight natural warmth without the bulk of a heavy knit.
• Velvet and remnant leather introduce contrasting texture and structure in the Vel Crossbody Bag.

Fabric composition varies by style and collection. Check the individual product page for the precise fibre content, transparency, care instructions and whether the fabric has stretch.

Considered Materials without Losing Sight of the Clothes

Selected pieces form part of the ELK Conscious Edit, and ELK is a certified B Corporation. These credentials provide useful context, but they do not tell you how a garment will fit. The most useful choice still comes from comparing the fabric, silhouette, measurements and role of the individual piece.

Weekends selects ELK clothing and accessories for women who want colour and original design without sacrificing practical fit information. Shop online for delivery across Australia and New Zealand, or visit our Mount Lawley boutique for assistance comparing fabrics, measurements and shapes.
