Our new Scarlet Skivvy tops online + instore now!

made590 — Sat, 23 Jun 2018 00:00:21 +0000

We have a new style to add to the Made590 family, and one you’ll love in this colder season. She’s called Scarlet and she’s a skivvy with a modern day twist. With her lowered seams around the neck she’s not as constrictive as traditional turtle necks, making her the perfect piece to keep you warm, yet allowing movement in the neckline. We think this is a more chic alternative to traditional skivvies and turtle necks as it has a lovely, blousy element so you can team her back with your more dressier styles, too.

She’s the perfect piece to wear layered with this seasons Made590 collection, but also easy to team back with your existing Made590 wardrobe – making her a versatile investment piece if you love your summer wardrobe so much that your want to see it through to Winter.

Wear underneath our Penelope tops, Indigo tops, Ginny tops – she also works perfectly with our Pinafore dresses – both a customer and staff favourite, our Jessie dresses, Penelope dresses, Nigella dresses and our Sadie Sweater dresses. Wear back with any of your favourite Made590 skirts – she looks especially mod with our newer, Petra skirt – the outfit is a bit of a nod to the 60’s. You can also wear back with your favorite pair of jeans or straight leg pant – we’ve designed her with enough room throughout the body so you don’t feel like she’s too clingy to wear on her if you’re not layering her and with enough length through the waist that she sits at a nice point, flattering your hips.

She’s the perfect piece to wear if you don’t like wearing scarves or need that extra warmth without wanting to wear a scarf accessory. A higher neckline top like the Scarlet is also perfect for wearing with your favourite brooches!

She’s instore + online now.

Available in SIZING: XS (8/10) – XL (16/18)

Penelope Dresses galore!

made590 — Fri, 22 Jun 2018 01:56:19 +0000

The Penelope Dress is an all time customer favourite here at Made590 which is why we reserve lots of our special fabrics for this shape. We often say, ‘she’s the shift dress for people who don’t wear shift dresses’. She has the perfect boat neckline shape, with two fun, front pockets and the perfect knee length, a-line skirt. She’s unlike other traditional shift shape dresses, as she comes in nicely throughout the waist highlighting your shape without being too big or too tight. You can literally throw on and wear as is, and let the design details of the dress do all the work for you. Or you can team it back with one of our handmade belts for extra detail and to dress it up for more formal occasions, fancy dinners or work meetings. She’s the perfect layering piece – wear with basics underneath and heavier pieces over the dress. And because she’s been made with the flattering back seam, you don’t need to worry about looking too bulky with your extra layers.

She looks great teamed back with one of our Scarlet Skivvies underneath for extra warmth or our popular Clementine Cardigans or Capes over the top. Wear with our colourful locally made, leggings and you have a head to toe outfit all set for chilly, winter days!

Available in the below five stretch sateen fabrics as well as the two heavier, weight fabrics, also – as seen in the very bottom image.

The Penelope Autumn Dress is available instore, online and at the Makers and Shakers Market for one day only, this Saturday 23rd.

Get in quick, these don’t ever last long!

SIZING: XS-XL

New In: Felicity Dress

made590 — Fri, 15 Jun 2018 07:30:48 +0000

The Felicity Dress is a brand new style here at Made590, based off our popular Felicity top, which you can view online and in-store now, too. The Felicity Dress has a lot of the same features of the top with the cute fold down collar and cute little point at the back of the dress. It also features a 3/4 sleeve which is perfect for in between seasons and gives you the opportunity to layer with a clementine cardigan or cape over the top for after work drinks and your walks to and from work when you’re not surrounded by office air conditioning. It’s a a flattering cut coming in at the waist – not too tight and not too big – perfectly skimming the body for a lovely silhouette so that you can easily layer with leggings and boots and not look too bulky. Cinch in the waist for a more dressy, formal or ‘finished’ look with a belt and you’re ready to go!

The skirt of the dress is a perfect aline, finishing at a lovely spot spot just on the knee, making this a great work outfit or one you can really dress up with accessories and heels for weddings, anniversaries, communions/ baptisms, meetings and conferences. And YES, she has POCKETS! As well as a centre, back zipper making it super easy to get in and out of.

The higher neckline is perfect for the cool weather as it keeps you warm without having to wear a scarf and perfect as there is more room to wear a brooch or two.

Available now instore or online in XS-XL in the three prints below – something for everyone in greys, black and colour. The scenic print was illustrated by our in-house graphic designer + illustrator, Kirbee Lawler and the Peas and Carrots is exclusively illustrated for Made590 by, Andrea Smith.

Helen Coat arrives just in time for Winter next week

made590 — Sat, 26 May 2018 00:00:09 +0000

Our Helen coats have arrived, the only coat we design for winter, so we make sure to add in all the details of a perfect coat so you only have to make one investment for the season without having to tick off your shopping criteria with several different styles. We’re firm believers that garments are held onto for years to come when thought and care goes into fit, design and fabric selection. And we’ve included some of our favourite details all in this one shape.

The Helen coat is made with quality cashmere wool, with cotton, pattern lining on the inside. We’re all about the detail here at Made590 and this little jacket looks great when it is worn open as you have the contrast of the colour of the wool and the lining as seen in the pictures below. We also take care to choose matching buttons that go back with the wool and lining.

We’ve also made sure to design this coat with added length so that it can be worn with any outfit co-ordination you have in your wardrobe. Helen is long enough to be worn with pants, dresses, skirts and jeans. And she’s definitely not one of those coats that add extra bulk to the body with your Winter layering. She comes in at the waist, which means you can even wear it dressier for work or for more formal occasions as it creates a lovely silhouette without it looking too casual or loose fitting like traditional winter parkers or coats. We make sure to keep you warm AND looking good in Winter!

With two working front pockets and hood with printed, fabric lining she’s also the perfect piece to wear for cold, early morning drop offs at school or to wear on the sports field in Winter. She’d look great with our cosy, Clementine cardi underneath for extra warmth teamed back with any one of our dresses or skirts.

Available online and instore now in Black and Berry with sizes S-XL.

Hop online or instore this weekend to grab your winter staple.

Leather Belts, all the way from Greece – instore + online now!

made590 — Thu, 24 May 2018 07:57:08 +0000

Hooray, our belts have arrived, and they’re available to purchase instore and online now.

These belts have travelled the distance as they come all the way from Greece. We work with a small family owned business, who specifically makes these belts for made590 in some of our favourite colours. We intentionally designed them in both neutrals and metallics so they’d be easy to match back with an array of print and colour palettes we produce year round.

We’ve also made sure to design these in the perfect thickness – not too thin, not too thick – so you can wear them either on your hip with pants and jeans or high waisted with skirts and high waisted style pants.

Because of the raw leather lining on the inside, you can even wear these belts if your garment doesn’t actually have belt loop holes as it catches onto fabric well and stays in place.

Perfect to add colour to your already rainbow outfit, but also a great way to sneak in some brightness to a monochromatic outfit.

Made from high quality leather from the Islands of Crete, you’ll have these belts for years to come, without having to worry about peeling like inferior belts.

These are selling fast so head instore or online now to grab yourself an easy accessory, perfect for all outfits.

Limited sizes available!

Friends of made: Miranda Murphy

made590 — Mon, 21 May 2018 08:10:21 +0000

Miranda Murphy is a brand that we’ve stocked for quite a while at Made590 and she’s a classic that our customers always come back to. She’s known for her simple, yet striking prints which she designs herself in silhouettes that drape the body effortlessly.

This season we have her sought after box tee blouses in three different prints – the autumn garland, finch and wattle.

These pieces are so light weight and perfect for tran-seasonal wear as you can wear a long sleeve underneath, a cardi and coats over the top without it looking too bulky – making this cotton popplin top perfect for winter layers, but one you’ll be able to whip out in the summer too and wear with shorts and skirts. The lightweight fabric makes it a perfect travelling companion, too folding up into a super compact size.

The box tee blouses are also perfect worn with pants and jeans as they are a good length sitting below the hip – not too short and not too long – you can wear them tucked out and not have it ride up your back, but long enough to be able to tuck into pants and skirts too.

In a broad size range: XS- XXL.

They’re available instore and online now.
