Edie & Ophelia by Studio Erskine

With a motivation to change how we experience textiles and fashion, Edie & Ophelia was created to bring people closer to the art and craft of making and caring for the garments they already own.

At our core is the entrenched philosophy for sustainable and ethical ways of Keeping our garments for longer by encouraging a change in perspective and mindset.

We consider how a wearer develops a relationship with their clothing - more often than not, how a garment is worn or used leaves an imprint of the wearer on the piece - movement, tears, rips and creases of a well-worn and loved item tell our stories. And those stories have meaning.

At Edie & Ophelia, we Adapt the Japanese philosophy of wabi-sabi, which calls on us to see the beauty in imperfection and impermanence and to value, appreciate and cherish the ageing process of our fashion and textile pieces.

We explore circular design ideas and initiatives for product longevity and attachment through co-creating, Co-Designing and Co-repairing with our patrons, with the hope that these pieces and stories will last a lifetime.
