The Kirstie revels in her simplicity. A classic box silhouette with rounded neck and back button detail. Kirstie loves to let her print shine, letting herself be tucked in or worn loose; dressed up or just relaxing. In a soft cotton sateen, she's a dream to wear!
PRINT
The Fairy Bread pattern is what it says on the label. A luminescent pink background covered in slices of white bread and rainbow sprinkles. Australian, nostalgic and with a wicked sense of humour!
ARTIST
Teggun Ashleigh is a colour obsessed illustrator who loves to draw inspiration from her childhood. She is a full time foster carer, which is both extremely challenging and tiring, but also the best thing she's have ever done. Teggun finds a lot of her work is influenced by each child who has stayed with her, holding a little piece in her designs. Teggun dabbles in oil painting, gardening, and now sewing. She loves mochas and cuddling her dogs, swimming in the ocean and the smell of campfires.
