We are an independent womenswear label operating in Melbourne, Australia. We create chic, sensual garments in natural fibres. We believe many of the solutions to fashion’s present sustainability problems come from looking to the past.

We focus on two centuries-old natural fibres, silk and wool. We’re devoted to preserving historic tailoring techniques and hand sewn elements in our ready-to-wear. By working outside of fashion’s traditional calendar, we’re able to take our time developing garments of uncompromising quality. We offer styles only when we’re satisfied they’re a harmony of two ideals: impeccable fit and exquisite fabric.

We work with independent, family owned and operated workshops in Melbourne. We believe in investing in the domestic fashion industry and local craftspeople. We are determined to build a fashion practice free from trade and labour exploitation.

Our concept of sustainable fashion involves the entire making. It’s not only about using the right materials in the garments. It’s also about the workers. Do the wages sustain a living? Can the pace be sustained? It’s pretty woo woo, but we think about fashion that sustains the spirit. Beyond the garment, the work must be fulfilling and fairly compensated. To us, sustainable means having a future. It’s about a way of working today that protects the craft for tomorrow.
