Our Founder

Ilk was created by Annie Pryor a Sydney mum trying to do her part to help lighten the load and make life easier for travel, adventure and everyday activities that require a little more thought and organisation.

Frequent trips to the beach with her three girls were often challenged by messy, sandy, wet swimmers. On family holidays there was little option but zip-lock bags to seal all the leaky toiletries, messy sunscreen and other necessary bits and pieces which was far from ideal and something that goes totally against Annie’s passionate commitment to sustainability.

When the girls were growing up, there simply were no solutions to keep all of the essentials organised, secure and compartmentalised. Annie knew there was a need for convenient, flexible, washable, water-resistant bags as an alternative to single use plastic.

Having worked in the fashion industry for over 20 years Annie knew she could combine style with function bringing some fun and playfulness into everyday life.

Annie decided to create Ilk Studio, a brand committed to simplifying people’s lives, empowering them to embrace life’s everyday adventures while treading gently on the planet.
