Hi, I’m Marilyn Smith.
I wasn’t born into fashion or luxury. I was born into life’s little curveballs. Back in 2020, I was a nurse at The Wesley Hospital in Brisbane, raising my daughter Lily on my own, navigating a relationship that hadn’t worked out, and trying to make ends meet.
For years I worked long shifts as a nurse at The Wesley Hospital. After a difficult breakup, I needed something that gave me purpose outside the ward. Fashion had always been my escape, so I decided to put my energy into something creative — something mine.
Every evening after work, I refurbished second-hand clothing and sold each piece online. It started small, just one item at a time, but it helped me rebuild my confidence — and slowly, my savings.
After a year, I’d saved enough to buy proper equipment and experiment with creating and altering garments myself. Orders increased, and I hired my first two helping hands. That’s when I realised: this could become something real.

What began as a personal escape has grown into something bigger than I ever imagined. Because of the support of our wonderful customers, we’re now expanding and opening a new, larger location — after completely outgrowing the first.
To make the transition smoother — and to show genuine appreciation — we’re offering a major moving sale. It’s our way of giving back to the customers who’ve supported every step of this journey.
