Essense of Australia is a leading international bridal design house and wholesaler that creates and manufactures award-winning gowns for independent bridal retailers throughout the world under labels Stella York, Essense of Australia and Martina Liana, as well as private label collection Oxford Street and bridesmaid label Sorella Vita. The Essense journey began more than 20 years ago as a shared adventure that took place when Wayne and Martine Harris met - thus establishing the love affair with bridal that would go on to build the worldwide industry leader that is Essense of Australia. The union between Wayne’s talent for business and Martine’s experience in bridal design - brought together by their personal love story - has since fused two passions which changed the way our industry approaches and values the relationship between designers, retailers and brides. Innovative design combined with a passion for creating an exceptional experience has propelled Essense of Australia forward as a world-renowned company, allowing its international team to flourish in an environment that encourages living one’s best professional and personal life. Now employing more than 250 partners worldwide, the Essense team is truly valued as the heart of its growing success as a global company. The company’s Lenexa, Kansas office serves as northern hemisphere headquarters and showroom while its office in Perth, WA, Australia serves as the southern hemisphere headquarters and showroom. Additional offices located in the UK, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Canada help complete the Essense global footprint.
