How the Beaded Ellis is Made

The Ellis has always been the piece people come back to.

We made the beaded version because we wanted to see what happened when you took the simplest piece in the collection and made it the most considered. Not louder, just more.

The beads are semi-precious, including Agate and Jasper, in varying sizes. We source them by hand, which means every batch is slightly different. The colours shift. The sizes vary. Every single piece is unique to you.

Each camisole is beaded to order in our Melbourne studio. It takes about a week. The beads are placed one at a time along the neckline and straps.

No two pieces are identical. The person who orders the Beaded Ellis will receive something made specifically after she places her order. Not pulled from a rack. Made.

This is a limited run, they will only last as long as the Ellis has stock. We won't be restocking.
