Explaining Our Practices

All aspects of production occur in our studio, located in Melbourne / Naarm Australia. Made lovingly by Veronica.

We design with garment end use strongly in mind by prioritising long lasting and season-less design. Always using quality finishes and providing versatility we hope you’ll love for years to come.

Our collections are made-to-order to reduce waste and overproduction. Each item is cut, sewn, and finished when you place your order. We currently only use natural fibre fabrics for all of our designs and no longer use plastic buttons or trims.

When will I get my order?

All of our styles are Made to Order, please allow up to 10 business days for your order to be shipped.

Once your order has shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking information!

Garment Care

To keep your garments looking beautiful for as long as possible we recommend hand washing in cold water with a natural detergent above all other methods. 

If you cannot hand wash, a cold gentle machine wash inside out with similar colours only as frequently as necessary, will suffice. This is the best method for the long term care of your clothing and our shared environment. 

Tumble drying may cause your clothing to shrink or distort, so we recommend line drying and reshaping your garments when wet.

Use a gentle hand with ironing and steaming, less is best, always iron or steam your clothing inside out. 

Most of our garments are made from dyed cotton, which is intolerant to bleach.

Dry cleaning should not be necessary for cotton garments, but if you are seeking out the assistance of a dry cleaner, please ask them to refer to the label instructions.
