Kowtow & Nonna's Grocer

We are proud to release our new collaboration with our friends Nonna’s Grocer. Nonna’s Grocer craft artisan candles that celebrate home and heritage. Each candle is handmade in Australia, using quality craftsmanship to create products that surprise, delight and tell a story.  Founded by designer Madeleine Hoy and joined shortly after by her sister Isabel, Nonna’s Grocer is family-inspired and family-run.

Avant Gardener

Inspired by nature in full bloom, this collection celebrates the Avant Gardeners. We believe that collectively, small actions have a big impact. Positive change can begin at home, and in our gardens. By nurturing our natural environment we can bring life to the spaces we inhabit, and encourage nature to thrive - this becomes an act of protest in a world that needs protecting.

The Studio Series: 03. Design, Colour & Print

The colours are the beginning of a collection. Every colour is made from scratch - determined by Kowtow’s design team who blend and alter every colour to create the perfect shade. Kowtow’s Creative Director Marilou draws inspiration from everyday objects. The colours of a tea towel or the cover of a book can catch her eye and make their way into the collection.

The Studio Series: 02. Weaves & Textiles

This collection’s creative direction takes inspiration from the women of Bauhaus. The German art school that produced some of its generations finest artists and specialised in both fine arts and crafts. Bringing this time-honoured practice into the modern day, our collection - Material Matters - is selected and designed by hand and guided by touch: the weight, weave, and texture of cotton into myriad fabrics.

The Studio Series: 01. Cotton

In The Studio Series, our Creative Director Marilou shares with us her process in creating a collection entirely from cotton, plus the creative direction of every choice: from conception to design. “As designers we are responsible for what we put out into the world” which is why Material Matters leaves as light a footprint as possible.
