About Us


Anderst

Anderst is born out of the longing for that favorite irreplaceable dress in ones closet. With our minimal, but intricate designs we aim to produce a fashion that lasts long past a single season and inspires women of all kinds to give each piece of clothing a unique life. Our mission is to create a canvas for any attitude in any situation on any given day.

We are committed to local production, which allows us flexibility with a minimal environmental footprint, and to purposefully and conscious Design that respects quality and value. 

 

The Store

Located in the Stockade District of Kingston, Anderst offers a carefully selected, and constantly updated collection of well crafted contemporary works of mostly local artists and artisans harmoniously blended with timeless antique/vintage objects. Well made things that will be around for a good while, some because they have been around for a good while and others for their solid philosophy and artistry.

The store has a strong unique voice in its modern, but approachable simplicity. Anderst also functions as a platform for artists of several disciplines to showcase and offerl their work encompassing and combining the benefits of a gallery and a store with events, like readings, art openings and screenings.
