Combining her love for textiles, nature and creating with her own hands, Melody created MELO handmades. Through a specialised botanical dyeing process, she combines plants and fibre to create one of a kind textile goods. Pigments are carefully coaxed from sustainably sourced botanicals to colour textiles using a variety of techniques such as eco-printing, vat dyeing and shibori. Every piece is small batch handmade in Sydney, so each one is truly unique and cannot be replicated.

In the world of fast, mass fashion, Melody is also passionate about redirecting the focus to slow, mindfully and artfully crafted pieces while reconnecting with nature and committing to low-impact processes. Strong emphasis is placed on sourcing local (and often native Australian) botanicals sustainably and only non-toxic metal salts and natural pigments are used in the dyeing process.
