A gorgeous mess



There really is such a thing as a gorgeous mess. Here are some of our vintage, if not antique, textiles being played with for various cushions, ottomans and even a silk scarf. Watch this space for results.

About Dowry

Dowry is the collaboration of a mother – daughter team who design and handmake clothing, soft furnishings and miscellanea from old discarded textiles as well as vintage fabrics. At Dowry we re-use what has been cast aside by others and make it precious and functional again.


Our products are all handmade in Australia. We have put together a team of people in our country, regional area, consisting of a seamstress, embroiderer, upholsterer and a cobbler who help to produce our products. Every item has been given a “Dowry” touch so it is unique.
