Aston Studio
Aston Studio is one of Australia's most exciting contemporary labels — and Kiti is proud to be among the first boutiques in the UK to stock it. Founded in Adelaide in 2021, the brand has built a devoted following for its beautifully crafted ready-to-wear and its signature approach to colour: joyful, considered, and always with an unexpected twist. Each piece is made with handcrafted prints, meaning no two garments are identical — a detail that feels at home alongside everything else Kiti curates.
We are currently stocking pieces from the Ti Amo Drop 2 collection, including the Blair top and skirt in Antique Rose — a warm, dusty palette that wears beautifully across seasons — and the Marley and Rue dresses in Ruby Antique, a rich and deeply wearable red with a subtly vintage tone. These are pieces built around the Aston Studio ethos of joyful simplicity: feminine without being fussy, structured without being stiff.
About Aston Studio
Aston Studio was founded in Adelaide, South Australia in December 2021, launching with a collection of shirting that quickly became the brand's calling card. Distinctive colourful block lines, bold logo placements, and an innate sense of wearability set the label apart from the beginning. Since then, the range has grown into a full ready-to-wear offering that explores what the brand describes as the romance of dressing: the contrast of feminine flair and quiet minimalism, softness and structure existing in the same piece.
The brand is guided by three founding principles. Joy underpins the design process, with each collection seeking the pleasure found in simplicity and contrast. Legacy shapes the approach to craft, drawing on the rituals of dressing and the idea that clothes should be worth keeping. Earth drives production decisions, with a minimal-waste philosophy and a commitment to working with suppliers who share those values. The result is a label that feels considered rather than trend-driven, and whose pieces are made to remain relevant season after season.
One of the most distinctive qualities of Aston Studio clothing is its handcrafted print process. Because prints are applied by hand rather than mechanically, the exact placement on each garment varies slightly. This is intentional — it means every piece is genuinely individual, and it is part of what gives the clothing its quality feel.
The Ti Amo Collection
Ti Amo — Italian for "I love you" — is one of Aston Studio's signature collections, built around a palette of rich, romantic tones and the brand's characteristic interplay of structure and ease. The pieces Kiti has selected from Drop 2 sit at the heart of what makes Aston Studio compelling: the Blair top and skirt in Antique Rose work beautifully as a co-ord or styled separately, while the Marley and Rue dresses in Ruby Antique offer two distinct silhouettes in a colour that reads as occasion-ready without demanding a special occasion.
Antique Rose is a warm, muted pink — closer to dusty blush than bridal — that layers comfortably into an existing wardrobe. Ruby Antique is a deeper, richer tone, a red with enough complexity to feel elevated rather than bold. Both colourways reflect the Aston Studio approach to colour: expressive but not shouty, carefully chosen rather than reactive.
Aston Studio at Kiti
We chose to bring Aston Studio to Kiti because it fits the way our customers dress: thoughtfully, with an eye for quality and a preference for pieces that do not follow the crowd. As one of a small number of UK stockists, we are stocking the brand in carefully selected quantities — which means once pieces are gone, they are gone. If something catches your eye, we would not wait.
If you would like guidance on sizing, styling suggestions, or would like to know more about what is arriving next, you are very welcome to get in touch with us directly or pop into the store in Pontcanna. That is what we are here for.

What sizing does Aston Studio use?
Aston Studio uses Australian sizing. As a general guide, Australian sizes run approximately equivalent to UK sizes — an AU 8 is broadly equivalent to a UK 8, an AU 10 to a UK 10, and so on. That said, we always recommend checking the specific size guide for each style, as fit can vary across silhouettes. If you are unsure, please get in touch and we will help you find the right size.
Why does the print placement vary on Aston Studio pieces?
Aston Studio uses a handcrafted print process, which means the exact placement of the print on each garment is unique to that piece. This is by design rather than a quality issue — it is part of what makes each Aston Studio garment genuinely individual, and a reflection of the brand's commitment to artisanal craft over mass production.
What is the Ti Amo collection?
Ti Amo (Italian for "I love you") is one of Aston Studio's collections, centred around a romantic palette of rich, considered tones. Kiti is stocking pieces from Ti Amo Drop 2, including the Blair top and skirt in Antique Rose and the Marley and Rue dresses in Ruby Antique.
Is Aston Studio a sustainable brand?
Sustainability is one of Aston Studio's founding principles. The brand operates with a minimal-waste approach and works with suppliers who produce responsibly. Pieces are designed to be kept and worn across multiple seasons rather than discarded — the idea of clothing as a keepsake is central to the brand's identity.
