r own production team. We design, pattern-make, sample and produce our designs from our studio-workshop in Newcastle NSW - maintaining a small and sustainable scale of production. We use natural fabrics for our designs - such as linen, cotton and wool.โ€

They practice Slow Fashion values which includes slowing down consumption, craftisanal-production instead of mass-production, keeping traditional methods and techniques alive - respecting connections with land and people, giving vibrancy and meaning to what we wear and how it was made. The sisters find inspiration in memory, story and landscape to create their garment designs. Fascinated with weaving memory into clothing, they explore the ability of fashion to unfold a great yarn.

There are questions, we have answers! ๐Ÿ’ฌ One that a few of you have asked is โ€œwill you continue to stock items that are not clothing?โ€

The answer is Yes! โœ”๏ธDonโ€™t worry!
We continue to present a collection of beautifully useful crafted objects alongside our clothing collection - things that we love for their traditional craftsmanship, things that honour the passage of time, things we love to gift, use and live by ๐Ÿ’›โœจ

Purchase these beautiful pieces from our on-line store, and in-person when we open our NEW Atelier High Tea with Mrs Woo.

Weโ€™re totally blown away by your response, friends! So thrilled with all your love and orders for our NEW Zero-Waste Knitwear range - the gorgeous Basalt colour was a hit, pretty much sold out across all styles at pre-launch! ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผโœจ

This knitwear range part of our epic zero-waste project was about creating an extremely high quality upcycled yarn from our textile โ€˜wasteโ€™. It had to be fine and strong to knit under high tension on a Shimaseiki Wholegarment 3D knitting machine. And to be able to produce this knitwear in Australia.

We did it!

Swipe images โžก๏ธ for behind the seams processes - this project started in 2012 ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโœจ It took quite a long time to make this dream to close the loop on textile โ€˜wasteโ€™ come true.

This debut zero-waste knitwear collection was made in collaboration with Dave and team brood.au HATCH + make based in the Yarra Valley VIC. With expertise and machinery in this knitting technology, we co-created this delightful and timeless range of Vests, Beanies and Fingerless Mitts. Itโ€™s also un-gendered so anyone can wear them. Oh, and like us, these guys champion sustainability and small batch on-demand production and work with natural fibre only - the best! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿปโœจ

An important part of this project is the upcycled yarn used to make the knitwear โ™ป๏ธ
The yarn content is recovered cotton and linen fibres so the knitwear is soft and luxurious, with a lovely character - the subtle flecks of colour in the yarn comes from our textile โ€˜wasteโ€™. Another thing you should know is the waterless innovation behind this process - no water, dyes or chemicals were used to produce this material ๐Ÿ‘Š๐Ÿปโœจ

We couldnโ€™t have achieved this incredible quality of yarn without the skills and knowledge of The Billie Upcycling team Andy and Julie and Dempstah Guy, and Otis ๐Ÿงถโœจ Thanks also to City of Sydney Ideas and Innovations grant for funding support.

Weโ€™re totally obsessed with the unique flecked solid and textured marle colours of this yarn that was achieved with our textile โ€˜wasteโ€™ - we can hardly believe it. The fibre content is cotton linen so the yarn is soft, luxurious, light with lovely character - a dream to knit with.
