This festive season we are celebrating heritage

– how do we give antique textiles a new wearable life whilst preserving the integrity of the original design and garment.

This comes with a responsibility and we hope you will like how we have done this with our new Limited Edition poncho scarves, made from antique ethnic Thai textiles.

The textiles come from a village in Nghe An province who produce handwoven textiles for us. Whilst keeping pieces for their own textile heritage, some are available for us. We have been thinking about this design for some time and we’re pretty pleased with the result.

Looking for an extra special gift …

Future Traditions will be in Melbourne, this Saturday and Sunday, 8th & 9th December
at 73 Cromwell Street, Collingwood.

An initiative of the Pop-Up Collective Australia and Temples and Markets, this event brings together a wonderful range of ethical and fair trade designers and brands for ONE-WEEKEND-ONLY!

We’re delighted to be a part of this event and will not only have a selection of our clothing range, but also our jewellery, new silk velvet shawls and shrugs, and our Christmas decorations.  Lots of gift ideas to help you get into the festive spirit.

See you there!

Christmas festivities are already well under way.  Thank you to everyone who came to our showroom and helped us celebrate last weekend.

The showroom will be open as usual this week and we’ll also be at the Tay Ho Community Christmas Market, at what is fast becoming a long awaited for annual event.

Sunday 2nd December at the Quang Ba Temple from 10am to 4pm.

We look forward to seeing everyone there!

Saturday 24th & Sunday 25th November 

To celebrate the festive season join us for a weekend of mulled wine, gift shopping and Christmas cheer!

Better World, Thanh’s textile creations, Fermented Bread and others will be joining in the fun.

And of course we’ll have our Christmas trees, decorations and lots of special things to fill your stockings!
