The Vintage Plume was established at the beginning of 2018, after realising there were limited options available (locally) for those wanting to dress their girls in soft tones and timeless feminine styles.
Owned and operated by Candice, mother of two children, all designs, prints and colourways are customised to be 100% unique. Candice draws all the designs by hand and has the clothing ethically produced overseas by fantastic staff who are paid a fair wage with good working conditions and regular time off.

Tieneke is the designer/creator/maker behind Fawn Baby Wear. She is the mother of two little people (Jamin 21 and Naia 5) so has had plenty of mum experiences.
With her love for designing clothing, Tieneke has worked in the fashion industry for more than 20 years. Tieneke first started designing babywear when her youngest Naia was born, and since then Fawne Baby Boutique has developed into a flourishing small business.
Her greatest inspiration is beautiful fabrics and her design process always starts with the sourcing of unique and exclusive fabrics. Being ethically made is an important part of this brand and even as this company expands, Tieneke remains committed to those values.
Chickpea Children’s Wear is focussed on providing quality, timeless alternatives to mass production and fast fashion. Their garments aim to be enduring and easy to wear, using quality fabrics, notions and fastenings.
Garments are available for infants and toddlers up to age 5 years. All pieces are made to order using only natural, breathable fibres such as cotton and linen. Fabrics are pre-washed for shrinkage before construction.
Chickpea’s colour palette is inspired by nature and muted vintage tones. Many of the garment styles and colour options are unisex, in a purposeful step away from the typical ‘girls wear pink, boys wear blue’ gender norm.
This business is also conscious of the environment and is especially aware of the negative impacts made by the fashion and textile industry.

To date, Jade from Frankly My Wears has made over 2500 eco-friendly reusable breast pads. These super soft breast pads are made with 5 layers of fabric, including 2 inner layers of 100% bamboo and 2 outer layers of 100% soft brushed cotton for softness and great absorbency – they don’t use (horrible) plastic waterproofing in their products.
Frankly My Wears also create handmade children’s clothing and accessories.
