What is your favourite Made590 piece/collection? Very hard choice to make there’s so many, but probably the Penny Skirt in the Botanist Print. I love that she is based on a dress made by Christina’s Nonna in the 60’s and includes flowers from Christina’s and her mother’s garden. Three generations of inspiration in one perfect skirt. I love wearing a piece that has so much meaning to it.

What do you love most about shopping with us in-store? It’s such a nice environment, you’re all so lovely and passionate about what you’re doing. I came to you very bland with a wardrobe full of black and you’re teaching me to be brave and introduce colour, fun & pattern into my wardrobe one piece at a time.

What would be your dream Made590 piece? A dress combining Trixie or Jessie on the top and Penny on the bottom (maybe with the belt tabs). Feel free to call her Simone 🙂

Why do you choose to support Made590? I love supporting my local businesses, and I love that Made590 in turn supports local makers, artists & staff. I recall a quote (Ican’t remember from who) but went along the lines of “Supporting a small business puts soccer boots on their child’s feet and food on their table NOT a bonus in a CEO’s already overstuffed wallet”. That’s important to me.

Why do you love Made590? Lots of reasons – as a maker I am really happy that the clothes are all locally made, the quality of the clothes and of course now the EveryBody range which means that I can get everything in my size. I love the colour and patterns and the fact that I can put things together in all sorts of ways. I love that there are always new ranges and shapes but that shapes are repeated so if it’s a favourite I can buy it in new materials.

What Made590 piece do you wear most? I think my cardis. It’s cheating a bit because I have them in a few different colours so I am talking about multiple pieces. In winter I wear a cardi nearly every day I think I wore my blue and gold lurex cardigans most of all this winter.

What is your most commented on Made590 piece? The piece I have the most conversations about is my Big Aussie Road Trip top. People notice one of the big things then it’s like a game trying to work out where they all are!

What do you love most about our in-store experience? I love that when I go into the store no matter who is working they will be friendly, welcoming and really helpful. I also love that the store itself is is colourful and full of interesting things. The final thing is that I am so happy it is just a block from my house!
