What to know about One Teaspoon
Cut-off shorts carry the brand
The Bandits and Bonitas cut-offs are the signature; the rest of the line — low-rise jeans, suede fringe, dresses, swim — sits around destroyed, vintage-washed denim.
Womenswear, not menswear
One Teaspoon is an Australian womenswear label, so the range reads punk-grunge and Y2K through women's cuts rather than unisex streetwear.
Founder gone, denim formula stays
Jamie Blakey began by reconstructing denim at home on Sydney's Northern Beaches and exited in 2021; long-time partner Liz Roberts now owns and runs it.
