“I love anything that sets people’s souls on fire” says Illoura’s Founder and Creative Director, Ashleigh Kilgour. “I am truly in love with the story behind a piece of clothing and remembering the talent and love that is poured into every single piece from start to finish.”

Unwavering in her commitment to live a simple and mindful life and create a world for her loved ones and brand and it’s community, where everyone feels valued, loved and represented, Kilgour’s approach to business is truly inspiring.

“It was important from the outset that if Illoura were to exist, it would give back in the process”, a sentiment close to her heart and at the core of her determination.

An idea dreamt from motherhood; after giving birth to her daughter, Kilgour was inspired to create equally beautiful and functional keepsakes for her little muse.

Driven by a love of Mother Nature and need to consciously create, Kilgour’s considered collections of both children’s and womenswear draw inspiration from life’s most precious moments, culminating in a brand of true authenticity and heartfelt love and kindness.

Home amongst the natural environment of ocean and earth, Illoura (a beautiful and pleasant place) lives on Bunurong land amongst the Boonwurrung peoples of the Kulin Nation.
