What size am I?
Our sizes vary depending on the ‘fit’. Our range is designed with two standard ‘fits’ – ‘Relaxed / Boyfriend’ and ‘Classic Slim'.
‘Relaxed / Boyfriend Fit’
Our Luxe Favourites collection are a ‘Relaxed / Boyfriend’ fit, designed to be slouchy and oversized in the body. Intended for maximum comfort and slimmer in the arms (so you don’t feel like you are wearing a sack!)
‘Classic Slim’
Our Mia Essentials Collection are a ‘Classic Slim’ fit. These garments have a set-in sleeve and are narrower in the body. They can be layered or worn easily under a jacket. It’s important to identify the fit and function you prefer in your knit, so that the garment you choose is perfect for the way you want to wear it.
Please check the sizing chart provided within each product to find the garment measurements and suggested ‘fit’ recommendations for your size.

All of our garments are made from either:
1. Sustainably sourced Mongolian Cashmere.
2. Non-mulesed ethical Merino wool.
3. Eco-furino - a combination of ethically sourced Mongolian Cashmere, Australian Merino wool, NZ brush-tail possum down & Mulberry silk.
4. Artisan spun Cashmere/Merino

What if my garment is out of stock?
In order to keep our range fresh and exclusive, we only manufacture limited runs of our garments. Not all items will be restocked - even if they are a best seller! That’s why it’s best to purchase the garment you love when you see it to make sure you don’t miss out.
As we are not mass-produced, we manufacture lots of small production runs in our own factory. This means we are manufacturing continually. If a style is ongoing, but temporarily ‘out of stock’, this item will be available for Pre-Order. The arrival date of pre-order items is listed via the ‘add to cart’ button on the product page. Please note that this is an estimated date of arrival for the item. Dates for Pre-Order items are subject to change.
What does Pre Order mean?
We are committed to a ‘Slow Fashion’ ethos, therefore we only manufacture modest quantities of each item.
Some styles exceed expectations and sell out super quickly and therefore we will make another batch in approximately 6 weeks. Our Pre-Order allows you to secure these garments.
How does Pre Order work?
By purchasing a Pre-Order item on our online store, your item will be secured for you until the new stock arrives. You are required to pay upfront. Once it arrives, your order will be processed and you will receive confirmation once it is sent.
Can I order on the phone?
Of course! We understand that sometimes it's not possible to order online. You can call 1300 003 642 and speak to customer service and they will create your order and email the transaction to you so that you have a record.

It is not always possible to combine orders or add items to an existing order. You can place a new order for any additional item(s) and contact us by phone or email requesting to have your two orders combined and shipped together, as long as the first order has not already been shipped.
