Miss Hayes will host her first pop-up shop in the region at Hive Orange in McNamara Street, formerly the Vinnies building, this weekend.
"I've just launched my second season," she said.
"I was born here, I went to school and I went away for university and for work and I moved home two years ago."
Miss Hayes said it was always her goal to start her own label and operating from Orange had its benefits.
The clothes are all Australian made and Miss Hayes said Orange is only a few hours drive from the factory in Sydney.
"I feel I've got more support [here] than in Sydney where you have a lot of emerging businesses and business noise," she said.
"There's a strong point of difference to what I'm doing here."
Although she has a growing online business and stocked her first season at Iglou in Orange, Miss Hayes said she is looking forward to running the pop up shop.
"I had a pop-up last year in Paddington in Sydney so I'm really excited to have a pop-up in my home town," she said.
The pop-up shop will be open from 9am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday.
