The Quiet Work of Change
New chapters and evolving as a brand
Hey all!
I feel like it’s been a little while since I spoke on here — and for good reason. The brand is going through a massive transitional change, turning a new chapter, continuing to grow and evolve with me.
I’ve now welcomed several interns into the process — not only to help bring my ideas to life, but also to provide them with the vital experience so hard to attain in Brisbane/Meanjin.
On a personal level, I’d be lying if I said this didn’t scare me. Letting people into a process that has been just me for four years is daunting. But with that comes excitement, and a world of new possibilities.
Since the very beginning, I’ve longed for a ‘team,’ especially on the days when I found myself sitting alone sewing all day.
This shift feels necessary for the hopes and dreams I want to achieve with the brand. To scale, to stop rejecting orders, and to reduce production times — I need help. As much as I want to do absolutely everything myself, it’s just not realistic. I know my limitations, and I’ve certainly reached them.
I can’t wait to introduce you all to the team over the coming weeks and months. I have no doubts about their abilities — they are all incredibly talented and deserve a platform to continue to grow.
As some of you may have seen, the website has been closed for the past week. The last drop — without much promotion — brought in another influx of orders, and I had to close things down again. These orders are now being shipped out, which is giving me time to focus on new products, sampling, and preparing production runs.
I’m hoping to reopen the website next week with a couple of new offerings.
USA shipping will remain closed for now, but AusPost has finally given an update. Their preliminary timeframe for returning services is towards the end of this month.
That said, I fear tariffs, taxes, and duties will add a substantial cost on top of the already high shipping fees. But we’re working on ways to make this process as affordable and seamless as possible.
I’m excited to finally share some of what’s been cooking.
See you soon,
Sincerely,
R
