WE'RE...

Minimalists Who Crave Luxury

To some, luxury is Lamborghinis, Prada handbags, Rolex watches, gold and diamonds everywhere, more bathrooms than occupants in a home, an enormous wardrobe, jetting off to a new holiday destination each week, and just over-the-top flashiness in general.

Our luxury, on the other hand, focuses on seeking out high quality, bespoke items and services from small, family-owned boutiques and independent creators for a more tailored approach to your needs.

It’s indulging in luxurious, organic spa treatments, because wellness doesn’t just mean taking your vitamins. Perhaps it’s employing a private chef or cleaner to free up your time for something that matters more to you. It’s certainly spending quality time in a beautiful holiday location, off the beaten track, and improving it by giving back generously.

Overall, it’s just understated class. We appreciate and seek out luxurious experiences (big and small), and only bring high quality assets into our lives. We know that life’s moments should be taken slowly and savoured, not filled with rush and clutter. True luxury is meeting your own needs as they arise with high quality, life-enhancing solutions that adhere to your values. It involves being yourself and getting in touch with your own style and taste – not following the crowd.

WE HAVE...

Uncompromisingly High Standards

Not just in terms of quality and aesthetics, but other values that matter even more – ethics and human rights, the environment, consumerism and waste, and transparency – within our own businesses, in the products and services that we buy, the companies we support, and as part of our day-to-day living.

Improving the lives of our clients and customers is worth nothing if we’re making quality of life impossible for those we employ (directly or indirectly) to help us with our mission, not to mention the current and future generations of our own families and friends.

With that in mind, we demand the best from ourselves and challenge those around us to rise with us. We speak when we see injustices and work to make them right. We innovate, not purely for consumer convenience, but to make the future a cleaner, healthier, and happier place to live. And we inspire and lead others to do the same.

WE'RE A COLLECTIVE OF...

Successful Female Entrepreneurs

Whether you’re already there or you’re here to manifest, we’re with you. We know that hard work and hustle needs to be balanced with slowing down and enjoying the little things.

We understand that keeping ahead of both legislation and consumer demand for full corporate responsibility is a key factor in our success, and that any business that fails to consider its wider impact is setting itself up for failure.

We believe that an impeccable customer experience is the difference between an average business and an exceptional one, and we work hard to deliver that. Having the back-end of our business organised, however that looks for us, helps to support that customer experience.

We know that prioritising our health and happiness will make our business the best it can possibly be… even if we haven’t quite perfected it yet.

And whilst it seems a lot to strive for – having a business that solves a problem, aligns with your values, supports your lifestyle, AND allows you to pursue your philanthropic ideas (all without overwhelming you) – we believe it’s completely possible and totally worth it. A slow life and a conscious business can give you everything you want.

IN SHORT..

We’re a community of successful female entrepreneurs curating a luxurious, intentional life we love, whilst applying our high standards and using our privilege to create and demand substantial positive change for the world and its people.

INTRODUCING YOUR HOSTESS

Erin Cadogan

Welcome to the Slow Luxe Society.

It’s lovely to meet you. I hope you enjoy your time here and find everything you need; if not, please let me know what I can do.

Like you, I have high standards and a conscience. I have big plans for my business, my home life, and my adventures – but I’m also aware that every action I take and every purchase I make affects others.

That’s why I’m actively creating a path for both myself and others to follow, to live the life of our dreams whilst improving the lives of others.

The environmental classes I took towards my Sustainable Business major contained images and statistics that truly shocked me. Until then, I was an avid consumer and my efforts towards preserving the environment were piecemeal.

Having received my education, there was no way that I could continue on the way I was going – not with a clear conscience, anyway.

I won’t say that I was immediately a different person, or that I changed my habits all at once, but things did change pretty quickly for me after that.

You see, without it even being a conscious decision, I’d adopted environmental sustainability as a primary value and committed to going all-in in my pursuit of it.

As well as changing my consumption and lifestyle habits, I secured a position at a non-profit organisation specialising in environmental conservation, regeneration, and education. It’s incredibly fulfilling work and I’m surrounded by the most amazing, talented, passionate people who all want to make the world a better place.

We collaborate with – and create lasting impacts on – local councils, schools, companies, and individual landowners. We have also facilitated a number of past and present multi-million dollar carbon offset agreements for large corporations.

I’m so grateful to have gainful employment in such a worthwhile industry.
