About Us

In 2008 I founded Renew, a small brand bringing high quality vintage clothing, textiles and homewares to treasure hunters both online and at markets around Sydney, Australia. Those were the days when eBay auctions were the norm, a life before Instagram had even been thought of! 

From there, I made my way to Etsy and eventually launched my own website. After taking a 2 year hiatus to explore the vastness of Australia with my family, (hashtag vanlife!) I felt a calling to transform Renew from a vintage clothing haven into what it stands as today, a treasure trove of sustainably made bohemian designs utilizing recycled Indian cotton sarees.

As a solo entrepreneur, I wear many hats, juggling my roles amidst well, just, life! But I'm deeply passionate about these fabrics, they exude a certain kind of magic that's simply irresistible. They have the power to make you feel like the beautiful, unique soul you are when you wear them. Wearing each piece is like wearing your own personal hug! 

All styles are custom designed in Australia by me and I maintain close ties with small women-run businesses in India that play a crucial role in providing employment opportunities for women in rural villages outside the main cities. These artisans work their magic with the threads, bringing our unique designs to life.

I genuinely value each and every order and sincerely hope you adore the treasure you've found, cherishing it for years to come.
