When Safety is the Real Luxury

By Fleur, Founder and Creative Director of Leina + Fleur

In fashion, we talk endlessly about the power of a garment - how a perfectly cut dress can make a woman feel unstoppable. But the truth is, confidence starts far deeper than fabric. It begins with the knowledge that you are safe.

And right now, for too many women in Australia, safety is not a given. It is a fight. It is a choice made in a split second - to leave, to protect their children, to trust that someone will catch them when they fall.

Every two minutes, a woman in this country reports domestic and family violence. Two minutes. The time it takes to swipe on lipstick. To answer a text. To glance out the window. And in that fleeting moment, another woman is asking for her life back.

At Leina + Fleur, we believe that when a woman chooses to leave violence behind, she deserves more than survival—she deserves a new beginning. That’s why, for over a decade, we have proudly stood beside RizeUp Australia, an extraordinary charity that doesn’t just talk about change - it delivers it.

RizeUp moves fast. They provide urgent essentials in moments of crisis. They turn empty apartments into beautiful, fully furnished homes for women and children starting over. They place school shoes on little feet, uniforms in wardrobes, and hope in hearts. These are not just acts of kindness—they are acts of reclamation.

This month, we have donated $2,000 to RizeUp. But we know that true change is collective. That’s why we’re inviting you - our community - to join us in something both humble and powerful: pledging $2 a week.

Two dollars. The cost of a bottle of sparkling water. The tip you might leave without thinking. The smallest of gestures, yet enough to help a woman start again.

Visit RizeUp Australia, make the pledge, and know that your contribution is more than money - it’s a message: You matter. You are not alone. We will stand with you.

Because at the end of the day, style is fleeting. But dignity, safety, and freedom? Those never go out of fashion.
