With Harper Lu was founded in late 2020 in Melbourne, Australia, by Lucia Hanna and Cathie Burke, born from a shared passion for designing pieces that transcend seasons and trends.
From the very beginning, our focus has been on Resort and Event Dressing, complemented by Elevated Separates. With Harper Lu brings together striking colours, contemporary prints, luxurious textures, and vintage-inspired silhouettes to create thoughtfully designed collections for women around the world.
"Starting a Fashion Brand gave me the opportunity to express myself creatively. It’s not just about clothes, it’s about expressing identity, telling stories, and building something people connect with.
I am inspired by the colours, textures, and silhouettes. Fashion shapes trends and identity. I truly believe what you wear can genuinely shift how you feel, sometimes subtly, sometimes dramatically. It’s not just about appearance; it affects your mindset and confidence.
At its core, With Harper Lu is also an entrepreneurial opportunity to share with my youngest daughter, which has made the journey so much more special." - Cathie Burke
"I started With Harper Lu from a deep love of fashion, styling, and creativity. I had a clear vision for the brand and knew I wanted to create something that felt both special and different. Partnering with my mum made the journey even more meaningful, allowing us to build something truly special together.
We’re continuously inspired by vintage pieces, beautiful prints, and the kind of outfits you dream of wearing on vacation, designing pieces we’ve always felt were missing from our own wardrobes." - Lucia Hanna
