Local Adelaide Hills girl Merrin Stacey has really come the full circle. Brought up on a property near the pretty Hills town of Strathalbyn, she moved to Melbourne to study & graduated in fashion design. She stayed another 15 years working as a pattern maker & designer for many well known Australian companies including Teena Varigos. She & her husband moved back to South Australia & now live back on the same property Merrin was raised on with their children son Declan 4 & daughter Arabella 2. It was with Arabella's arrival that Merrin decided to produce a range of stylish & practical clothes for girls aged 6 months to 7 years. Each piece is hand-made to order & customers can order the style they want in the fabric of their choice from Merrin's seasonal range books. She ships locally & is also happy to accept International orders. I'm enamoured with her work (as the mother of 5 boys & a total hopeless klutz with a needle & thread that makes perfect sense!) & am thrilled that I can feature her fabulous designs here at The Hedge. Please pop over & visit Merrin's website, you'll be really glad you did.

So charming and what a good idea to customize!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome catalogue! I love all the classic designs with a twist and the element of being able to choose your own fabric.

Alas, I only have a son! But if I had a little girl, this is how I would like her to be dressed. But I'm passing this on to my good friend Alex - she has 2 daughters & I just know she's going to love this. Thanks so much Millie. Lee :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, and I like her illustration style too. It is "eye candy" and fun to peruse.
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous Millie. Can you imagine a little girl pouring through the catalogue choosing her next best outfit. A bit like all of us drooling over interiors. Thank you so so much for your lovely comments. I can't tell you how much they mean to me. But I must confess, I'm not the one with the good outlook, it's all Ruby *smile.
ReplyDeleteThese are so cute, on my way to her site now to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThese catalogues are so cute. In case I miss you on thursday (with the time change and all) I wanted to say I am thinking of you and hope everything goes as well as you want and as painlessly as possible. Fingers crossed for good news, love xv
ReplyDeleteLoving some home grown South Aussie brilliance, and her work is no exception. Her catalogue is brilliant, such a fabulous concept, love it x
ReplyDeleteI wanted to pop back in now and wish you well for tomorrow. May it be a 'dream date' with a perfect outcome and perfect recovery! Make sure you get pampered by all those boys over there!! Julie
