What to know about Sister Studios
The apron dress is the origin
Emma Cutri and Alice McIntosh started in 2015 selling one-size linen pinafores to friends online, and apron dresses and relaxed separates still anchor the collections.
Local production, limited runs
Everything is designed in-house and made locally in Melbourne in small quantities, using Italian linens, New Zealand wools and handpicked vintage fabric.
Colour and print, not beige
Despite the quiet-luxury framing, the womenswear collections are colourful, romantic and heavy on printed texture, often developed with artist collaborators.
