Kindling

comfortable clothing that feels great to wear

Kindling is an independent, Melbourne based label that exists to create special and comfortable clothing that feels great to wear.

Nina, founder, started making clothes from a young age, moving from whipping up makeshift outfits for nights out to formal study of Clothing and Textiles in 2005 and in 2015 she completed a Masters of Fashion and Textiles at RMIT, Melbourne.

Kindling loves design, colour and print and aim to create styles that are both beautiful and ageless but most of all functional and practical for a dynamic woman’s lifestyle. 

Feeling inspired everyday by our local community- from the hard working mums, professional women and all round- bad asses we’re surrounded by. The teacher who needs to sit on the floor, to a photographer who needs to look nice but have pockets for her gear while working, or a tall friend who can never wear jumpsuits (but loves them) or like so many of the customers whose bodies are changing due to children, age or life events and they just want to feel comfortable and look good. It is Kindling's aim to produce affordable high quality garments with meaningful design that are made well by people we know and respect. Their clothing is all made with a mix of quality fabrics such as denim, linen and cotton.
