“Who Made Your Clothes?”

Adventures , Authenticity, Unique Hand Made Clothing & Homewares & sharing with Artisans & their Families are why I created this job for myself. . Endless stores of the same kinds of hastily created Items with dubious origins made me wish to leave Australias crumbling Fashion Industry in the 1990’s & search for more. Thankfully I have been rewarded every visit to Latin America with endless options to pursue in the last 22 years. . Everyday a new adventure, new people to share my passions with, they always curious to find out why am I in their Town?? . If I stayed in Central America for another year I am sure I would not get around to accepting all the invitations that I receive but I’m going to try!! . Tomorrow another adventure, who’s coming???🚖✈️🚖🚌🚙🚎
Meet Juana & Carmen (it’s the first time I have had the pleasure of meeting one of Juana’s daughters) Who jumped in for this latest @igtvnew Video. . Love being prompted at this time of the year by @fash_rev to focus on our Artisans, it’s just that there are 100’s and it would be hard to share all of them this week ❤️🙏🏼❤️ . Oh and excuse my poor Spanish!!! Some days I just get very tongue tied🤪
Moments like these 💫 . When you can meet a friend on the other side of the world, with the same loves and passions as you. . And know that Frida is our idol without words. . I just have to show you this permanent exhibit Olga.............My favourite painting in this gallery @oguimaria 🌸💋🙏🏼🎀😘 . So wonderful to meet you in the flesh😁😘
This beautiful Photo is of a Weaver from Chiapas I took in 1999, making cushion covers. . Dedicated to supporting Artisans to stay in their towns and continue their traditions has been the reason for my 22 year journey with these incredible souls in Latin America. . I am warmed by the effort that @fash_rev is bringing to the wider market this week, as a result of the Rana Plaza Disaster in 2013. . It is my wish that all humans are treated fairly and that this new light being shone on my Industry for 40 years will continue to bring transparency to individuals in it and continue to change the lives of those we rely on to clothe & furnish ourselves. . This week is the week to ask your favourite brands #whomademyclothes ???? . Muchas Gracias, me agradezco mucho @orsoladecastro And the team at Fashion Revolution ❤️🙏🏼❤️😘
Layering up my favourite item in the Las Niñas Textiles range. . 100% Cotton Kaftans. Created on a Back strap loom individually in one piece. . Then the Neck is cut out and the sides Crochet together. . A process that can take between 4-6 weeks depending how much time the Artisan has to work on her loom. . I source these Kaftans directly from those adorable Artisans, who have become friends as we share our hopes and dreams in my visits. . Their Village as remote and as beautiful as many that i visit. . Made with Love & Integrity. . It’s time to ask your favourite labels......”Who made my Clothes?” . Because it’s @fash_rev week all week. And time to think about #whomademyclothes #whomadeyourclothes . I have you covered, it’s been my mode of operation since 1997 🌸🙏🏼 I have been passionate about this forever xx
So proud to share with you that I know the makers of almost everything I sell. . Knowing who made my clothes has been my mode of operation for over three decades now. . Meeting and spending time with the Artisans makes my life rich. . And the reason behind Las Niñas Textiles ❤️🎀❤️ . It’s #fashionrevolutionweek and time for all of us to consider “Who made our Clothes?” . Take a look at the label in your clothes today. . And ask if you are curios, it’s a wonderful way to honour the Planet & it’s inhabitants. . Feliz “EARTH DAY” as well 🙏🏼🌏🙏🏼
I hope your weekend was incredible and that you were surrounded by friends and family. . I am getting itchy feet as I plan my next adventure and dream about far away places I love to return to. . This was Oaxaca in March, i adore it’s vastness and Ancient beauty and my memories of it when it was a smaller unexplored town. . Here soaking up it’s natural beauty at the ruins, in my one of a kind Cornflour Blue Española Dress, with love from México 🙏🏼
Vintage Fabrics and Dresses have always been the essence of my Wardrobe. . Shopping at the Opportunity Shop was something that started in High School as I waited for the bus 😉 . Who has the same passion? . Here I have combined a Vintage 2 Birds Dress with my favourite wardrobe stable A Huipil & Indigo Shirt Dress (made from Vintage Huipils & Indigo Fabric) Oh and the beautiful Kate Bag made from a divine Vintage Huipil and hand laced leather x . I’m not supposed to be sharing these pieces yet, ssssshhhhh !!! . I’ll tag them with their “Sisters” available online for you. And you know how to purchase before their listed!! X . 🎀🐣👜👗
