Ashculme Textiles

Ashculme Textiles is the creative vision of a mother and daughter, whose shared love for textile crafts brought them back together after 30 years of living on opposite sides of the globe. Each unique piece has been handwoven using yarn sourced from their own tribe of Suri alpacas. The fleeces are washed, carded & spun at a local mill, before they are returned, ready for dyeing or weaving. They dye all of their own yarn, using natural dyes and rainwater. Other yarns used for detailed work are sourced from existing supplies, op shop finds or like-minded small businesses. Ashculme Textiles uphold their values by supporting local businesses and being sustainable every step of the way. 

ROVE

ROVE is a consciously made, feel good fashion label for light-hearted holiday feels. Designed in the relaxed Australian beach town of Byron Bay by founder Carolin, each ROVE piece has been mindfully created from high quality, plant-based, eco-conscious fibres like sustainable linen and Lenzing™ Ecovero™ viscose. They plan their production very carefully and offer pre-orders when styles are sold out to avoid overproduction.
