About Us

Likardia is a New Zealand start up created by two sisters, Amanda and Miriam, based off the river banks of the Waikato Awa. With backgrounds in Finance and Fashion design, we've teamed up to explore what's possible when we celebrate and champion each other, family and our natural God given talents. 

As a brand name, Likardia draws inspiration from Lidia of Thyatira; a purple textile trader of ancient Greece who seamlessly bridged between commoners and high profile nobility alike. Lidia was additionally known for her hospitality and soft heart.  The word"Likardia" blends "Lidia" with the Greek word "kardia," meaning heart, symbolising the heart within Lidia. Her legacy embodies distinction in entrepreneurship and her love of all people of all backgrounds which are foundational heartbeats of our brand. 

The signature personalised 'Roll Top Bag' is the first of several bags to be designed and launched here in NZ, so be sure to sign up to receive email updates and early product release news.
