My goal is to have a couple of clothing collections a year, really leaning into slow fashion. Based on polls on our Instagram stories, there will be many more tops, pants and dresses on the way! Feel free to reach out directly if there is something you are struggling to find in the fun, ethical fashion space.

The first collection of robes was made in Bangladesh, with a supplier I vetted 3+ years ago who focus on ethical manufacturing and are experts at sourcing/creating fabrics that don't contain synthetics. Their workmanship is impeccable and I'm so proud to have worked with them.

For the clothing collections, the supplier base has expanded to other parts of Asia and country of origin is listed on each product page.

Over my 15+ years working in the fashion industry, I have learnt which countries specialise in certain fabrics, printing techniques, construction details and hand-work. I always want to make sure I put the right products with the right supplier to achieve the highest quality product.

Small-batch production runs mean significantly smaller units per style and per size, compared with larger brands and retailers.
Typical brands that have stores across Australia as well as an online presence could be producing anywhere from 3,000-30,000 units of a single style. Some could be even higher.

This is how some brand's prices can be so low (amongst other tactics), but some brands also keep their prices high and produce this volume.

Small-batch could be 20 units, 50 units or anywhere in the hundreds, because it's still small and considered, compared to these larger brands.

TLDR; We make a very small amount per style/size so as not to overproduce, and make sure all our products have a home to go to.

If you like it, wear it. It's that simple.
All Patience Made products have been designed with multiple body shapes and sizes in mind, and this includes all genders. They have not been designed just for an hourglass woman's body, nor have they been designed for one set of proportions.
I truly believe anyone can wear the clothes, I fit them on different genders and have made an effort to showcase the collection on different genders.
