The Zaket & Plover Story
A Melbourne label,
family-run since 2004.
Zaket & Plover was founded in Melbourne in 2004 by Chris and Effie — a husband and wife team who built a knitwear label from scratch, on their own terms, from this city. More than twenty years later the brand is still independent, still family-run, and still making knitwear that people come looking for by name.
The product is the reason for the loyalty. Zaket & Plover works primarily in cotton and cotton-cashmere blends. The colourways are considered and deliberate: combinations that are unexpected without being jarring, palettes that work across different skin tones and personal styles.
Pieces that flatter women and move with them in everyday life — knitwear that works as hard as you do, with a personality all its own.
At Empress Melbourne
Available locally,
and worth finding.
For women in Albert Park, South Melbourne, Port Melbourne, St Kilda and Elwood, Empress Melbourne is your closest boutique stocking Zaket & Plover in person. That matters with knitwear — the colour reads differently on a screen than it does in your hands, and the fit question is best answered by trying it on.
When women who know the brand come to Empress, Zaket & Plover is often the first thing they look for. Because the label produces in limited runs, come in early in the season.
For customers in Albert Park, it offers fresh knitwear that is genuinely different — the kind of piece that sparks conversation and gets worn again and again.
