the story
I'm Tegan - a remote GP Obstetrician living and working on Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, in far north Queensland. I surprisingly found myself struggling with the physical changes and challenges of pregnancy in 2020 with my first son, Rex. I found solace in sewing and designing my own maternity clothes. From this I created a line of colourful and unique dresses that could be worn during and after pregnancy.

our values
We pride ourselves on making clothes that are built to last, and we rebel against the idea of fashion fashion.
Our musts:
- Clothes should be multi-purpose and built to last throughout pregnancy and beyond
- Made in an ethical manner
- As environmentally friendly as possible
- Contribute to improving the lives of those less fortunate
