Rest Days is my way of slowing things down. Life gets busy, screens are always in front of us, and it’s easy to forget to breathe. For me, rest isn’t only about doing nothing. Sometimes it’s a long walk in the hills, a climb with friends, or getting out into the trees. Other times it’s staying home, making a cup of coffee, and letting the day settle. Whatever it looks like, rest is about coming back to yourself.

The clothes I make are shaped by the places that help me reset. The coasts around the Mornington Peninsula, the rock and colour of the Grampians, the damp greens of the Dandenongs and the High Country. Each drop grows out of those landscapes and the feeling of being out there.

Everything is designed from scratch. No stock blanks. Just simple, thoughtful silhouettes made in small batches. Each piece is hand stamped and numbered, so every item feels personal. I care about craft, slow work, and making things that last. Rest Days is a small project, but it’s built with intention, and I’m always exploring new ways to keep the process sustainable and meaningful.
