23.01.2022 So I’m really enjoying this dress/print combo We excited to share new Satu Smocks & Dunes jersey dresses with you all next week!!!!! We love summer

22.01.2022 Thanks for visiting our store over the past week. We opened last Friday and I couldn't believe when someone actually came in to see us. I think I asked her a few times like did you just come in specifically to actually come to our store? This was after we gave her a parade and kept yelling YOU'RE THE FIRST ONE!!!! Then more people just kept coming in. Then people actually wanted to buy stuff. It's like I forgot the concept of a store. Then seeing people try things on woah our... minds exploded. Jess said she has spoken to more people this week then she has all year. I keep asking her if she is ok or if she needs a few days alone in a dark room to process all this social interaction. So thank you all for visiting and its totally not scary and its all actually pretty normal and we are so happy we are open again xx Oh and also welcome our new shop girl @meloso who may or may not be joined by her pal @lola__thebostonterrier while working in store on Thursdays See more

21.01.2022 I love how I thought this outfit was so OTT and outrageous but now in 2020 I'm just like what is this low key energy going on here A few iconic @aliceoehr collab croc tops still available. Once they are sold out that is it forever! ... Oh and before you ask we should totally make these pants again! Will defs get working on it See more

19.01.2022 The Basalt print was originally painted in 2015. An important part of our ethos has always been challenging the idea that prints and fashion need to be reinvented every season. The current cycle of oversupply, constant sales and fast fashion doesn’t benefit anyone and is changing our relationship with our clothes for the worst. "Our inspiration doesn’t come from trends, but from genuine moments and feelings that inspire my creative process at different times in my life. My goal is always to share a story with you that is true to me. - Cassie

19.01.2022 Classics Drop One available this Wednesday 8pm This week we release part one of our classics collection that was originally meant to be a bigger collection that has now been split into three releases because it's 2020 and who needs plans anymore amiright?!?!?! We decided to send the collection to four friends of VH to shoot at home. Inspired by our year in iso. These photos will also be used as product images on our webstore, which have always been done with a professional crew. I hope you enjoy these low-fi images as much as we do as we celebrate the beauty in the everyday. Can't wait to share with you all Wednesday 8pm Melbourne time. Thanks to this superstar @jazzdbell

13.01.2022 Sometimes the stars align and magic like this happens Our new 'Picnic' collection drops this Wednesday 8pm AEDT and in store from Thursday! 18 new pieces + our new Market Bag & Sun-hats Shot by @ryanwheatley at Ripponlea Estate. ... We wanted to find a place to celebrate our new prints with elaborate scenes and feelings of freedom. When we visited we knew we had to shoot here. It would seriously have to be one of the most heavenly places in Melbourne, especially for a Picnic. This photo was the last taken on the day. It was HOT and we had not stopped since 6am and I think it encapsulates the collection perfectly.

06.01.2022 Order Update (from our Classics Drop One launch last Wednesday)@ktcollins__ Does anyone else just have this urge to just hide away when they get a tad overwhelmed? Well yep, that's me! Since we launched our first drop of classics Wednesday night we have been working around the clock to get these out to everyone as soon as we can. It was kind of terrifying the next morning to realise how we were possibly going to pack all these orders - especially with our ske...leton crew and strict one person rule in the shop. But... hurrah we have done it! All orders from Wednesday night have left the building! As I started to work through the orders I couldn’t help but feel incredibly grateful for this amount of overwhelming support. Not having packed orders in yonks, I loved seeing so many familiar names and printing them on our fancy label printer - not handwriting them like I used to. It’s been an emotional few days.ok make that year, but seriously it wasn’t that long ago we were closing the shop and our design market bookings cancelled, thinking it was really all over. To think we just had our biggest trading day ever blows my mind. 2020 you SO confusing But seriously you guys THANK YOU! Jess will be back in Thursday to pack the remaining orders from the rest of last week and cross checking everything. Most orders have left with Sendle who are a faster carrier at the moment. All PO boxes, parcel lockers and rural addresses have been sent with Australia Post who are experiencing some delays out of Melbourne. (We will be keeping a close eye on tracking over the next week to make sure parcels are moving. Please give us a few days before contacting as it might take a bit for scans to register on your tracking link.) Please email Jess [email protected] if you want to go on a waitlist for any of the sold out items We have been working our butts off designing the summer wardrobe of your dreams, so I hope you enjoy what' to come. Cass xx Love this pic by @ktcollins__ YOU LEGEND! thanks for helping with our iso shoot. Dress sold out sorry friends xxx

03.01.2022 Painting the Basalt print Thanks so much for all your poster orders over the past few weeks. It looks we have a lot of 'champagne taste on a beer budget' kinda ladies out there. That is the slogan for my life if it was a movie. This year I wanted to focus a bit more on my painting. I'm currently working (oh so slowly) on my second solo show for next year and a few fine art prints. The posters though, they were important to me to offe...r art that is affordable but also really considered and loved and special. Also that makes a big impact and visitors are like wow you have very fine taste and you both nod to each other in agreement. Jess will be shipping posters tomorrow from the studio if you need to beautify your castle. The little backlog will be sorted out then also, thanks again friends for waiting so patiently Link in the bio @thedesignfiles See more
