Finch and Fae - sustainable, handmade, unique
Thanks for dropping by!
FiNCH+fae focuses on producing sustainable and reusable homewares, bags and other items using quality new materials and thrifted items. Maker Kirstie lives in and creates the items in rural Victoria, on Wadawurrung country.
I am a proud Verified Artisan as part of the Handmade Not Mass Made movement, and where possible I use 100% natural fibres and source materials from other regional or small businesses.
I aim to use all parts of the fabric, reducing waste from every stage from selection of materials and hardware, through to design, cutting and packaging.
Smaller cuts of fabric are used in scrappy and patchwork designs, and offcuts, or 'sliver trimmings' are used as stuffing.
Custom orders are always welcome - contact me via the form below or social media.
