About Us

Late to Work founders

Late to Work is a brand built for people who move through the world on their own terms. Founded in New Zealand by three friends, we started with a simple frustration: fashion that felt predictable, disposable, or designed for someone else entirely.

Through Late to Work, we bring elevated staples: bags and accessories that slip naturally into your everyday rotation. Pieces that hold their shape, carry what matters, and move with you from work to weekend without losing their edge.

Everything begins with intention; choosing the right materials, refining the silhouette, and crafting designs that feel good in hand and get better with time. We iterate, produce thoughtfully, and work with trusted partners who help bring each piece to life with care.

No trend-chasing. No officewear beige. Just sharp, considered design worn by people who get it.

Welcome to the Late Club. You’re right on time.
