“Born from a desire to create a modern uniform. Reflective of a love of creativity grounded in function, infused with purposeful femininity.”

Foemina’s vision reflects a foundational approach to dressing and explores the idea of forming a modern utilitarian dress code for the contemporary minimalist.

This timeless collection was born in Brisbane, is managed from Barcaldine and is in store now.

(This calm, considered caption belies the fact that we have been frantic about stockist approval and securing pieces - terrier tendencies peaked - so we hope you’ll love it as much as we do.)* ...

Black Friday is a colloquial term for the Friday that follows thanksgiving in the US* when Christmas trading would officially begin. Named as such as most retailers would be “in the red” until this time of year when their ledgers would finally be written in black ink to show positive amounts.

Shops (as far as I can tell) still rely on this fiscal quarter for survival, but sadly Black Friday sales are not something that all independent shops can compete with or make viable.

Colour Friday is a movement founded in the UK to highlight that not all shops are created equal and to muster support for the little guys who may not get their ledgers back in black from losing sales to the big guys with big margins in this week.

Our take on this day embraces its relationship with thanksgiving - we know we owe our existence to a small, but growing group of clients (which exceptional taste!) for whom we are so grateful.

So this Friday, all purchases, in store and online will receive a beautiful lucky dip Christmas ornament (valued between $9-$25) and in the spirit of giving, we will be donating 10% of TAKINGS (verses profits) to support the work of our amazing friends (the biggest givers we know) at @outbackfutures ** we’d love to see you x
