About Us

About Us — Designer Collective

Designer Collective wasn’t born from comfort.

It was born from pressure, struggle, and a vision that refused to die.

Founded and owned by Rangimarie Wroe, a 25-year-old Māori woman, Fiancé & mother of two babies, this brand represents resilience in its purest form. Rangimarie grew up in the hood — in spaces where survival comes before dreams, and nothing is handed to you. She knows what it’s like to struggle, to sacrifice, and to carry responsibility early in life.

Designer Collective is proof that where you start does not define where you finish.

Between running a business and raising her children, Rangimarie stays grounded through the gym and CrossFit — because strength isn’t just physical, it’s mental, emotional, and spiritual. The discipline it takes to train every day is the same discipline that built this brand from the ground up.

Designer Collective stands for luxury with a backstory. It’s for the ones who came from nothing but move with purpose. For the hustlers, the parents, the survivors, and the self-made. For those who understand the grind and still choose growth.

This brand is about:

• Turning struggle into motivation

• Breaking cycles and building legacy

• Staying real while leveling up

• Putting family first, no matter what

Every piece represents confidence earned, not borrowed. Success worn with humility. Street energy blended with designer ambition.

Designer Collective isn’t just what you wear — it’s what you’ve been through.

Built by a Māori woman. Raised by struggle. Driven by purpose.

This is Designer Collective.
