Icy rain, howling winds, frosty feet, oh my! As the days get shorter and temperatures dip, most of us tend to bunker down at home – so it makes sense to plan your space with purpose. The clever folks at Metricon Homes know a thing or two about thoughtfully designing homes that are not only…
Ever wanted to dress in a leaf-spangled frock worthy of Queen Titania, or “mantles of green cloth, inlaid with wild flowers”, as did the Forestfolk of engraver and editor Robert Cromek’s imagination? Or perhaps you’d prefer outfits spun of flowers and foliage like little-known Aussie artist Margaret Clarke conjured up in the early 1920s! You…
Well stitchy pals, it’s that time again! Me Made May has rolled around and we don’t know about you, but we are chomping at the bit to celebrate our me-made makes All. Month. Long! This 31 day celebration isn’t all about sewing new garments, it’s also about showcasing the items in your wardrobe which you…
What began as a modest showcase amongst the Art Centre booths in the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair hall in 2016, has blossomed into a national phenomenon. Country to Couture evolved from an intimate showcase of Indigenous textiles into the nation’s premier platform for First Nations fashion innovation. And we’re excited to say, it’s back! Country…
Planning a typical weekend stay in Sydney can be tricky: so much to see, so much to do! But (as Smashmouth wisely asks) what’s wrong with taking the back streets? Instead of sticking solely to the big-ticket attractions (hi there, Opera House!), why not mix in a few experiences that support the people and places…
What’s better than a great hair day? Knowing that your choice of haircare products puts doing good front and centre. If shopping according to your values is important to you, the concept of ‘conscious choice’ is probably on your radar – making decisions (and purchases!) with awareness and intention. That sounds good to us, and…
Slow fashion, pretty homewares, enchanting jewellery… Not to put too fine a point on it, but: take our money! The Finders Keepers Sydney Design Market is heading back to Carriageworks this May for three days of celebrating all things lovely in local design. From 2-4 May, this iconic Sydney landmark will once again transform into…
Mums, grandmothers, mother figures – whoever you’re celebrating this Mother’s Day, they deserve a bit of, well, mothering! A thoughtful gift is a great place to start (as is serving breakfast in bed and taking care of the grocery run – just saying…). Whether it’s a cosy knit for early morning coffee runs, a beautifully…
Say hey to your new snuggly sidekick, the Peppermint Viola Quilted Jacket, perfect to keep you feeling cosy while looking cool on those in-between-season days. This quilted cutie has it all: a cropped length for easy layering, a grown-on collar and bound seams for keeping things classy, and long sleeves you can turn back to reveal…
Sheryl Crow’s all about loving ‘a good beer buzz in the morning’ – and while our own celebrations tend to take place in more nocturnal hours, we do appreciate the good points of a well-made brew enjoyed with friends. Especially if we can do so at The Great Artist Market! Our fave day out is…
There’s a song of change in the air in Geelong, Australia’s first and only UNESCO Creative City of Design and once known as the ‘wool centre of the world’. A new generation of designers is working to combat fast fashion’s culture of overproduction and disposability, proving that the future of our favourite threads doesn’t have…
Sharing a meal is a way to strengthen connections, forge new friendships, and perhaps even see the world through different eyes… No wonder everyone always ends up in the kitchen at parties! It’s the heart of the home, no matter your background. And in a world that feels so devastatingly off-kilter, perhaps the kitchen is…
We look forward to connecting with you.
