ABOUT

 

Solana Handmade is a slow fashion brand based in Byron Bay, Australia.

Behind the brand, and behind the sewing machine making each and every order is me - Ann-Sophie. 

I'm 28 years old and half a year ago I moved from Barcelona to Byron Bay. All designs came to life while wanting to create something that I wanted to wear myself. I received amazing responses from friends and strangers so I decided to follow my dreams and create something I am so passionate about. 

I believe we shouldn't have to choose between looking cute and wearing ethical produced fashion. We express ourselves so much by how we dress, so why still choose fast fashion that does so much more harm than it makes you feel good. 

To me it's so much more exciting drinking my coffee out of my favourite mug and knowing the story behind it, knowing who made it, remembering where I bought it. And the same goes for pretty much everything in life. I love knowing who made whatever I'm using/wearing. I believe it's such a beautiful feeling knowing who made it, knowing someone put their heart and soul into creating this.

I would love to give that feeling to you, creating something that I've made - just for you. 

Made-to-oder is in my opinion the most sustainable way to produce garments and this also allows me to make adjustments to create the perfect piece of clothing for you.
