Fabrication

Our pieces start where all good things do, on country. Outback Linen uses only 100% natural fibres, custom-dyed to echo the colours of this land: the burnt spinifex, the desert dusk, the storm rolling in.

Every thread is crafted with intention. From ethically-sourced flax to premium, chemical-free processes that respect both skin and soil. Our linen breathes with you, moves with you, and softens over time like a favourite story.

This isn’t fast fashion. This is clothing built to go the distance… through muddy paddocks, city streets, long drives, and lazy Sundays. We make pieces that last, because you deserve a wardrobe that does too.

When you wear Outback Linen, you’re not just putting on a shirt or a dress, you’re stepping into something bigger: thoughtful design, slow style, and the kind of quality that feels like home.

Care Instructions

Good linen is strong, low-fuss, and better with time. But give her a little TLC, and she’ll love you forever.

Here’s how to keep your Outback Linen looking and feeling like new:

  1. Wash with kindness. Cold, gentle cycle or hand wash. No harsh stuff. Your linen’s already tough, she doesn’t need bleach.
  2. Dry it soft. Flat in the shade is best, or hang it up where the sun won’t steal her colour. If you must tumble, low and slow wins the race.
  3. Steam or press. A quick iron on low while it’s still a touch damp creates crisp lines, no fuss.
  4. Store smart. Fold it up, keep it cool and out of the sun. Linen loves breathing room.

Linen will naturally crease, we call that character. But if you ever want it polished, a light press does the trick. Just don’t stress. This fabric was made to live in.

Stitched with meaning. Designed to be worn.

More than a dress, this is a story woven in thread.

The Rural Outback Embroidered Short Sleeve Dress is where craftsmanship, comfort, and culture collide. Designed to honour the rhythm of rural life, every detail is intentional, from the relaxed silhouette and soft organic linen to the hand-drawn motifs embroidered into each piece.

Think windmills turning under wide skies. Horses grazing at dusk. That stillness, that strength is stitched into a dress made for movement, ease, and grounded elegance.

This is a limited edition piece, available in Midnight and Black, two classic shades that let the embroidery shine. The defined waist gives you shape without restriction, while the short sleeves, deep pockets, and breathable linen make this a true wear-everywhere hero.

Whether you're heading out for lunch, layering it under a coat for cooler days, or slipping it on barefoot in the bush, this dress carries meaning. It’s rural pride. Feminine strength. And timeless storytelling, stitched for today.
