ABOUT US

ABOUT

IMG_2762.jpg

Welcome and thanks for visiting.

​I've been at the helm of this small business since the end of 2019.

 

After spending 10 years in the fashion industry in various roles and working in a variety of categories (women's wear, sportswear, swimwear and accessories), I decided it was time for a positive change.

 

Instead of focussing on spreadsheets all day I now get to redirect that energy into using my two hands to produce apparel.  Keeping company with brands who share my love of sustainability, while championing local and ethical manufacturing of goods in Australia.

 

My experience includes technical garment design, pattern making, onshore and large-scale offshore production and apparel graphic design.

​​

I'd love to hear from you, feel free to get in touch!

~ Karin
