Gorgeous fabrics are carefully sourced using Liberty print cottons and traditional Harris tweed alongside hardwearing linens and knitwear.
The garments are crafted by experienced Italian artisans and treated with different dying and washing methods that make each item unique and poetic.
Feminine and masculine inspirations combine into modern and comfortable clothes made for working and travelling.
The EASTBYEASTWEST collection also focuses strongly on premium quality fabrics, many sourced from Italy and Japan.
Baggy trousers !!! they still love a slim pant but are venturing into wide and cropped styles paired with a heel or even flip flops will look fabulous!
So, words to sum up SS18 collection – Pirates, Sailor boys, Peasant, Japanese, Workwear – or as we would prefer ‘glamour workwear’
Staying with their natural colour palette. Mel is not a huge fan of colour – preferring to add it in as an accessory – albeit a scarf, a bag or shoes.... Imagine pirates of the Caribbean meets todays glamour workers. There is smocking introduced in linen styles. Long sleeves and deep cuffs on long silk shirts. Tie your hair back with a bandana and grab a sword !!! Silk jumpsuits with sleeves and without. With pockets and without. Heavy cotton and fluid silk. An absolute staple and a must. Dressed up or down.
Mel loves smocking and has introduced it for SS18 in a very simple understated way. Also featured is a beautiful moss stitch sweater – adding a simple cable down the centre front. Very cool with their nautical striped drop crotch shorts..... just a little nautical! Based in Lorne, Australia it’s hard not to tire of a stripe but bend the rules a little.
There is a hint of the “girl” for SS18, pretty, swing tops with tied backs, beautiful linen dresses with drawstring backs....... Wide, Drawstring trousers crafted in silk – perfection with a pretty top, wide leg, cropped length .......
We have covered many miles searching out trusted weaving houses, printing workshops and non-profit organisations to enable us to provide well crafted clothing and homewares.

After 20 years in the fashion industry, first as a model then as a designer for brands such as Burberry and DKNY, founder and director Alex Elliot was feeling the call to step out on her own.
Combining her extensive industry experience and entrepreneurial drive with her deep desire to honour this beautiful planet, has resulted in the collection you see today.
