Welcome to my madeit shop and thanks for stopping by!
All the items you see here are handmade, ethically, locally and sustainably in Melbourne, Australia, from repurposed materials. All the woollen products are made from upcycled, felted sweaters.
I make the Tubeway Armies arm warmers and the other winter accessories in the Body Parts Winter Accessories range, in partnership with a my stitching buddy Melanie Hill.
Under my own Gaye Abandon label I make purses, pods, hottie covers, tablemats, coasters and table runners from vintage and upcycled, mostly wool and textiles.
I prefer payment by direct bank deposit from Australian buyers in Australian $$. Contact me when you have made your purchase and I will send you my bank details and AUD total. Shipping within Australia takes 1-2 working day. I am also happy to ship internationally. Shipping to the Northern Hemisphere usually takes 4-6 working days.
Australian locals! For an extra $6 I can post items by Express Post. Contact me for a revised total.
All items sent in a recycled-book gift bag. I can send direct to the giftee and add a personalised card.
