Carter Kiri was born through the uniting of two cultures, paying homage to the unique cultural backgrounds of our co founders.
Our founders originally from New Zealand and Cambodia wanted to create a brand that symbolises unity and inclusivity.
From the pure wide open spaces and the rugged mountains of Aotearoa to a land known for its rich history, vibrant traditions, and a culture steeped in spirituality that is Cambodia.
Carter is a name that conveys a sense of stability and tradition, chosen for its strong and classical sound.
Kiri with a double meaning in Māori and the Khmer language:
In te reo Māori it represents the skin or outer layer of a tree/fruit, durable and strong against life’s greatest odds.
In Khmer it represents Mountain or peak, resonating with the rich history and the resilience of the Khmer people, and to aspire to the Peak.
Carter Kiri represents the meeting of two worlds, together we are one world encompassing our values; Inclusivity, Culture, Strength, Resilience and Adventure.
We are dedicated to providing premium clothing without the premium price tag.
We are committed to environmentally friendly practices and sustainable innovation to promote a greener future for our shared environment.
