{cloth 2} the bag

Cloth first made a mention on LeCoutureve, in the wardrobe cover makeover. They have fresh, Australian prints. Unrivalled in contemporary application. Australia flora featured in other fabrics (like quilting) range between too kitsch (think: tourist postcard and placemat) and too prissy (neat, soft 'English' arrangements that belie the 'rough as guts' appearance of the Australian bush). Cloth depicts wiry Australian flora in all its glory. They use rough linen and unruly patterns that ooze organic out of every fibre. I didn't need to check the tag, I knew this was made right here in my beloved bastard of a country.

{cloth} wardrobe makeover

source: www.clothfabric.com
 Introducing Australian fabric designer and maker, cloth

My colleague Cris, stumbled upon cloth's store in Little Buckingham St, Surry Hills, by accident, earlier this year. What a great find!

Impressed by their aesthetic, they were the first thing that came to her mind when she needed a wardrobe cover MAKEOVER. I am so glad she asked me to come along to help her choose the fabric pieces. I love their fresh Australian style.











Heavy fabric, rustic prints and raw edges. Cris did all the fabric placement herself. She is even bravely overcoming her fear of birds - with this great Aussie Currawong print.
