Goods.

Today is a special one. I am super excited to launch a new project, and one which feels kinda like a big deal!

Goods. is our very own range of locally made homewares, created in collaboration with local design studio Bonnie and Neil. For our debut collection, we’ve partnered with Melbourne artist Elizabeth Barnett to create a stunning range of soft furnishings and ceramics using rich colour and dense, painterly prints.

SO excited to launch this one, guys. SO. EXCITED.

Goods. is our very own range of locally made homewares, brought to life with some of my favourite local creative people.

After featuring the work of so many talented Australian creatives over so many years, it seems inevitable that we have finally created our very own product range! It’s been AMAZING to work alongside Bonnie Ashley of Bonnie and Neil to make this project a reality. And it’s been dream come true to partner with Elizabeth Barnett, who I admire so much, for our debut collection. We also worked closely with the wonderful team at Robert Gordon Australia to produce the handpainted ceramics!

WATCH THE VIDEO below for a little snapshot of the making of this range!
