Significant Other
The same hands, a different hour
Kathryn Forth and Julia Ritorto started Acler in Adelaide in 2014, working out of a friend's living room. Five years later they made a second label for everything the first one was never built to do, and Significant Other arrived in 2019.
Julia describes the difference as beach to bar. Acler is the feminine line, draped by hand and made for an occasion. Significant Other is looser and closer to resort, cut for the long stretch of a summer day and whatever it turns into.
It is the same eye and the same standard of make, pitched at a different hour. If you already own Acler you will recognise the hand the moment you touch it.

Significant Other, in short
Who is Significant Other?
Significant Other is an Australian label founded in Adelaide in 2019 by Kathryn Forth and Julia Ritorto, the same two designers behind Acler. It sits closer to resort than Acler does, built around ease rather than occasion.
What is the difference between Significant Other and Acler?
Same founders, same city, different hour of the day. Acler is the feminine occasion line, draped by hand. Significant Other is the resort-leaning label, described by its founders as beach to bar, made for daylight and the evening that follows it.
