Layback Atelier — Collections
Three Chapters.
One Journey.
From our earliest releases to the collection we stand behind today, every chapter tells part of the same story — one shaped by patience, growth, and an unwavering commitment to craft.
Chapter One
Archive
Collection
2016 – 2023
The Archive Collection brings together the defining pieces that shaped our journey from 2016 to 2023. Originally released across the years, these garments represent the evolution of our design language and the milestones that built Layback Atelier.
Reintroduced for those who have always wanted to own them — or wish to experience them again — each piece has been refined with elevated craftsmanship, improved construction, and premium materials while preserving the essence of the original designs. This is more than a restock; it is a celebration of our heritage, reimagined for today.
Chapter Two
What We
Became
2024 – 2025
What We Became marks a defining chapter in our journey — the beginning of Layback Atelier's evolution after relocating from Pretoria to our new studio in Johannesburg. Every piece released during this period reflects a renewed vision, elevated craftsmanship, and the confidence that comes from embracing growth.
More than a collection, it is a testament to the belief that it gets better with time. Each garment represents resilience, refinement, and the pursuit of creating work that is more intentional, more considered, and truer to who we have become.
Chapter Three
MMM:
Perception
2026
MMM: Perception represents our latest evolution — a collection carefully curated to redefine our place and influence within the fashion landscape. Built on years of experience, experimentation, and growth, it reflects a deeper understanding of product development, craftsmanship, and purposeful design.
Every piece embodies the knowledge we've acquired along the journey, refined into garments that are more intentional, more considered, and uncompromising in quality. MMM: Perception is not only a collection; it is a statement of who we are today and the standard we continue to set for the future.
