Sundays Vintage
Sundays Vintage is a small, Melbourne-based sustainable womenswear brand, born in true 2020 style—a passion project sparked during a worldwide pandemic. What started as a love for thrifting and a stand against fast fashion has grown into a thriving business devoted to curating vintage and preloved treasures and, more recently, creating handmade, one-of-a-kind pieces from thrifted fabrics. By upcycling and reworking preloved garments and materials, including bed linens, towels, and blankets, I breathe new life into forgotten textiles. Each piece embodies my commitment to slow fashion and reducing textile waste, celebrating a style that’s both thoughtful and timeless.
