Our Story
We are Robyn and Carissa Antonelli, a mother and daughter team who share a passion for sustainability, good design, and minimal impact solutions. Robyn has a background in Early Childhood Education, Sustainability, and Business. Carissa works as a PCA in the operating theatres of a large Perth hospital, and is a self confessed eco warrior through her vegan lifestyle and conscious consumer choices. She is also an expert on overalls (dungarees) as she has a large collection sourced from many op-shop forays and ethical clothing brands.
We are developing a concept for a new brand of ethically made, good old fashioned play clothes- currently focusing on vintage style overalls for two to eight year olds as our signature product. Whilst these were a staple feature of children’s wardrobes in the pre 2000’s, in this day of “fast fashion” it is becoming increasingly harder to find good quality items.

Our concept will revolve around fun and playful fabrics, practical styles, and a sustainable, ethical process from start to finish. As our overalls are adjustable, we are aiming for a product that your child can grow in. That way you can buy high quality items less often, knowing they will last and be worn a lot!
Robyn is currently developing her skills as a surface designer with the plan to design our own unique patterns for our clothing line. We have spent many hours researching the best way we can then use these hand printed fabrics to produce high quality, affordable items which are produced in an ethical working environment.
We would love to hear from you and get some feedback as we go so that we can deliver the best products possible.
