Every day goodness grows here
Look behind the Annah Stretton Fashion label, and you will find the Annah Stretton Foundation working hard to transform the lives of female offenders (RAW), and help goal-driven Kiwi women to take up educational growth opportunities (Hope Fish).
While separate, each of these charities shares a common goal; to build up the confidence, capacity and capability of individuals and organisations in order to shift them out of the shadow of disadvantage and towards long-term prosperity.

Our Story
From the day Annah Stretton started her own clothing business back in 1992, an unrelenting appetite for exploring new opportunities, taking on new challenges and, making a contribution to the community became major driving forces in her life.
