washing day at the cottage

late night thursday!

I have to say I've been so behind in posting things like Xmas hours!

Thursday the 10th and 17th the Cottage will be open until 8pm for a bit of early evening trading. There are quite a few shops along Gertrude Street that will be open and you can intersperse your shopping with a few beverages and yummy food.

Please come down and keep me entertained!

I'll be posting further Xmas hours in the next few days. 

(Once I've got over the Rumble in the Jumble Sale!)

Exciting news!

We are having a studio sale on the 12th of December- check out the Jumble Sale blog for all the details!

this is cottage industry

Welcome to Cottage Industry.

We are a small store on Gertrude Street in Fitzroy, specialising in recycling and upcycling of vintage fabrics and odds-and-sods,  and the creating of new products using traditional craft techniques. 

All items are hand produced in limited runs, and where an item may have been produced outside of our studio in Fitzroy, it will still involve some form of hand-finishing in our workroom. 

We make new stock every week and are constantly designing and hunting down beautiful vintage fabrics.

In the New Year we are hoping to find time to develop an online store but at the moment if you are interested in anything please don't hesitate to ring or email us and we can send through some pictures and prices.

Also- please visit Miss Pen Pen, where our are daily adventures and new creations are posted.
