Australian Stitch

To step into a maker’s studio is a special thing. A place of sacred ideas, and even more sacred skills.

Here is Nuñez’s Studio. Born in Brazil, Nuñez came to Australia in early 2018 - a lifelong dream turned reality when she found herself in Bangalow.

It’s here that she now resides, painting with oils night and day and creating beautiful, calming and tranquil works. When we came across her art, we thought she might enjoy spending a day creating in a few of our pieces.

Wearing our Chocolate Bell Sleeve Dress and Chocolate Foldover Flared Pants, she welcomed us into her studio and shared a glimpse into her world - one filled with patience, practice and creativity.

This is the film we received back 🖤

Thank you for letting us into your dear space Nuñez :)

Before you get to pull on one of our colourful & warm hoodies, take a moment to think about the women who helped bring it to life.

Long before the garment dyeing process begins, each hoodie starts here - cut, sewn and carefully assembled in our Melbourne factory by skilled hands that have spent years honing their craft.

These are the first steps in the journey. Soon they’ll head off to be garment dyed using GOTS-approved dyestuffs, before making their way into wardrobes across the country.

Respect the maker. Respect your body. Respect the place.

Naarm’s current grey skies have us daydreaming about the warm shades of Central Australia. Safe to say that rich orange dirt + sunburnt earth have become a source of inspiration to the design team ;)
